Φοίνιξ in greek. The phoenix is an immortal bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again.
As IT-Department in the year of 2023 there is not even enough time to drink a coffee in peace anymore. (If you have self-hosted infrastructure atleast)
One of our biggest problems was, as there was not enough manpower, to keep track of our products lifetimes.
You buy a new server, switch, laptop.
Configure it, put it into production or give to your employees and quickly loose track of the status. The products get older, the warranty is over and certainly they break.
Of course, without any warranty or service subscription you will not get any repair service for free. The costs of repairing are higher than replacing the product.
Is Foinix the solution? No!
It's a first step to keep track of the products lifetime. Check it once daily or weekly and you know exactly how much you need to invest soon and what to replace next.
Like this you will, as long as you don't ingore it, not forget any of your products during your upcoming renewal cycle.
Foinix was made for and tested with, the use with Docker and Postgresql as database.
Clone the repository locally.
docker pull ghcr.io/tautf/foinixRun the container
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:postgres@host.docker.internal:5432/postgres" --name=foinix foinixAdjust DATABASE_URL to your database. Make sure to use pg_bouncer and connection pooling when using providers like Supabase.
In a future version i will provide a Compose file that handles the database as well.
