# Maintainer needed

After working on openDCIM for nearly 20 years, I feel that I've contributed more than enough and am looking towards retirement and more relaxing hobbies.   If any contributors would like to take over the project, reach out to me and I'll see about transferring ownership within GitHub for the organization, pursuant to the code remaining open source.  I will be packaging up a final release - 26.01 - in the coming weeks and also retiring the opendcim.org domain name upon expiration of that registration.

openDCIM
-----------


	An Open Source Software package for managing the infrastructure of a 
	data center, no matter how small or large.  Initially developed 
	in-house at Vanderbilt University Information Technology Services by 
	Scott Milliken.  

	After leaving Vanderbilt for Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt 
	granted permission for the package to be open sourced under GPLv3.  
	Scott continues as the primary contributor to the package and is 
	actively recruiting assistance from others.

Installation
------------
Supposing you are using apache, php and apache-php-module firstly clone openDCIM in a directory which is accessible by apache user (e.g. /srv/http/) and then configure apache to load required modules and have access to project directory (you can define virtual host too).

If you're gonna create Dockerized development environment, you should enable apache's fast-cgi to connect to php-fpm's container

## Database (PDO, PDODRIVERS, DB.INC)

### Install and Configure Mysql and PHP-Mysql
Follow the [guide](http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysql.php)

### Create Database and Configuration File
Create the database and user
```shell
	mysql -uroot -p -e "CREATE DATABASE dcim;CREATE USER 'dcim'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dcim';GRANT ALL ON dcim.* TO 'dcim'@'localhost';"
```

Make db.inc.php from db.inc.php-dist
```shell
	cp db.inc.php-dist db.inc.php
