After installing, you can start the PartKeepr service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start partkeepr
If you want to start PartKeepr on system startup, use the following command:

Now that PartKeepr is installed, we need to configure it. To configure PartKeepr, we need to perform the following steps:
To create a new database for PartKeepr, use the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command logs you into the MariaDB shell. To create the PartKeepr database, use the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE partkeepr;
CREATE USER 'partkeepr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON partkeepr.* TO 'partkeepr'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace "password" with the desired password for the PartKeepr user.
To create a configuration file for PartKeepr, use the following command:
sudo nano /etc/partkeepr/config.yml
Enter the following configuration information in the file:
parameters:
database_driver: pdo_mysql
database_host: 127.0.0.1
database_port: 3306
database_name: partkeepr
database_user: partkeepr
database_password: password
secret: SECRET_KEY_GENERATED_FROM_GENERATOR
mailer_transport: smtp
mailer_host: smtp.gmail.com
mailer_user: EMAIL_ADDRESS
mailer_password: EMAIL_PASSWORD
mailer_port: 587
mailer_encryption: tls
Replace "password" with the password for the PartKeepr user you created earlier. Also, replace "SECRET_KEY_GENERATED_FROM_GENERATOR" with a randomly generated secret key by using the PartKeepr secret generator at https://docs.partkeepr.org/en/development/installation.html.
Replace "EMAIL_ADDRESS" and "EMAIL_PASSWORD" with your Gmail email address and password respectively.
To import the PartKeepr database schema, use the following command:
sudo mysql -u partkeepr -p partkeepr < /usr/share/partkeepr/PartKeepr/sql/PartKeepr-MariaDB-10.3.sql
Enter the PartKeepr user password when prompted.
To test if PartKeepr is working properly, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should see the PartKeepr log in page. Enter the username "admin" and password "admin" to log into the PartKeepr dashboard.
