stock-printer-proxy

• Server to launch print commands
• Monitors printers on printers configured in rest-on-couch database
• Sends printer status to rest-on-couch printer database
• Authentication to rest-on-couch uses an access token

The user should have the rights read, write, create and owner.

Env variables

Those env variables must be defined:

• REST_ON_COUCH_URL
• REST_ON_COUCH_DATABASE
• REST_ON_COUCH_ACCESS_TOKEN
• SERVER_PORT
• PRINTER_PROTOCOL - can be http or tcp, default is http
• DISABLE_MONITOR - Do not update registered printers' status in the database, default is false
• HOST - Server host, e.g. printers.my-domain.com, default is 127.0.0.1:<PORT> - Only needed if you want to expose the swagger documentation of the service.
• BASE_PATH - Base path for the server, default is / - Only needed if you want to expose the swagger documentation of the service.

Development

Run in development

Run a dev server which restarts automatically on code changes:

npm run dev

The dev server has monitoring disabled so it won't be doing DB operations. The docs can be accessed on http://127.0.0.1:7770/documentation

Publish a new version

To publish a new version, create a github release with a new tag vX.Y.Z and the package will be automatically published to github's docker registry.

Use the "Generate changelog" feature to autofill the description of the release.

You can do this with: gh release create vX.Y.Z --generate-notes
