## Container Types
|

|

Container types are defined in `containers.json` and organized by category:
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Types |
|
||||
|----------|-------|
|
||||
| Glass Jars | Flip Top (Large/Medium Tall/Medium Squat/Small), Canning Jar (Quart/Pint/Small) |

|
||||
| Glass Spice Jars | Hex (Large/Small), Flip Top (Tiny) |
|
||||
| Other | Original Packaging |
|
||||
|
||||
To add container types, edit `containers.json`.

### 2. Upload Files
|
||||
|
||||
Connect via SFTP using the credentials shown after installation, then upload to the `www` folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
www/
|
||||
├── index.html (the main app)
|
||||
├── api.php (backend API)
|
||||
└── data/ (created automatically)
|
||||
├── inventory.json
|
||||
└── pin.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
Upload to the `www` folder:
|
||||
- `index.html`
|
||||
- `api.php`
|
||||
- `containers.json`
|
||||
- `og-image.png`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Set Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
The `data` folder needs to be writable by the web server. This should happen automatically, but if you have issues:
|
||||
The `data` folder needs to be writable by the web server user (typically `my_webapp__X`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# SSH into your YunoHost server
|
||||
cd /var/www/pantry/www # adjust path as needed
|
||||
cd /var/www/my_webapp__X/www
|
||||
mkdir -p data
|
||||
chmod 755 data
|
||||
sudo chown my_webapp__X:my_webapp__X data
|
||||
chmod 775 data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Files in `data/` must be owned by the web server user, not your admin user, or edits won't save.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. First Use
|
||||
|
||||
1. Visit your app URL (e.g., `https://yourdomain.com/pantry`)
|
||||
2. The app loads with a pre-populated inventory based on your photos
|
||||
3. Tap the lock icon → Set a 4-digit PIN for your household

|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
## Deploy Script
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
index.html - Frontend (HTML/CSS/JS, no build step)
|
||||
api.php - Backend API (reads/writes JSON files)
|
||||
data/
|
||||
inventory.json - Your inventory data
|
||||
pin.txt - Stored PIN (hashed would be better for production)
|
||||
If you have SSH access, the `deploy` script uses rsync:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Deploy code only (pulls current data from server)
|
||||
./deploy
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy code AND push local data to server
|
||||
./deploy --reset-data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Container Types
|
||||
|
||||
The app supports these container types (edit in both index.html and api.php if you want to change them):
|
||||
|
||||
| ID | Name |
|
||||
|----|------|
|
||||
| glass-bail-large | Glass Bail Jar (Large) |
|
||||
| glass-bail-medium | Glass Bail Jar (Medium) |
|
||||
| glass-bail-small | Glass Bail Jar (Small) |
|
||||
| oxo-large | OXO Container (Large) |
|
||||
| oxo-medium | OXO Container (Medium) |
|
||||
| oxo-small | OXO Container (Small) |
|
||||
| original-package | Original Package |
|
||||
| mason-jar | Mason Jar |
|
||||
Edit the script to set your `HOST` and `DIR` variables.
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding Container Types
|
||||
|
||||
1. In `index.html`, find the `containerTypes` object and add your new type
|
||||
2. In the `<select>` dropdown for containers, add a new `<option>`
|
||||
Edit `containers.json` to add new categories or container types. The frontend loads this file automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing the Default Inventory
|
||||
### Changing Colors
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the `$defaultInventory` array in `api.php`. This only applies on first run (before `inventory.json` exists).
|
||||
Edit CSS variables at the top of `index.html`:
|
||||
- `--cream`, `--warm-white` - Background colors
|
||||
- `--terracotta` - Accent color
|
||||
- `--forest` - Primary color (buttons, active states)
|
||||
|
||||
### Resetting Everything
|
||||
|
||||
Delete the `data` folder contents to start fresh:
|
||||
Delete the `data` folder contents:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm data/inventory.json data/pin.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The PIN is stored in plain text. This is fine for a household app where you just want to prevent accidental edits, but don't use this for anything sensitive.
|
||||
- There's no authentication beyond the PIN - anyone with the URL can view your inventory.
|
||||
- For a more secure setup, you could put the app behind YunoHost's SSO.
|
||||
|
||||
## Backup
|
||||
|
||||
YunoHost's My Webapp will backup the entire `www` folder including `data/`. Your inventory and PIN are automatically included in YunoHost backups.
|
||||
- The PIN is stored in plain text - adequate for household use to prevent accidental edits
|
||||
- Anyone with the URL can view your inventory
|
||||
- For more security, put the app behind YunoHost's SSO
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**"Connection error" message**
|
||||
- Check that PHP is enabled for your My Webapp instance
|
||||
- Verify the `data` folder is writable
|
||||
- Verify the `data` folder exists and is writable
|
||||
|
||||
**PIN not working**
|
||||
- Check that `data/pin.txt` exists and contains exactly 4 digits
|
||||
- Try deleting `data/pin.txt` to reset
|
||||
**Edits not saving**
|
||||
- Check that `data/inventory.json` is owned by the web server user, not your admin user
|
||||
- Run: `sudo chown my_webapp__X:my_webapp__X data/inventory.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Inventory not saving**
|
||||
- Check `data/inventory.json` permissions
|
||||
- Look for PHP errors in YunoHost logs
|
||||
**Special characters displaying as HTML entities**
|
||||
- The API's `sanitize()` function should only trim whitespace, not HTML-encode
|
||||
- Re-save affected items through the UI to fix
