About Braintacle
================

[](#about-braintacle)

Braintacle is a set of applications for managing hard- and software on a network. Braintacle keeps a semi-automatic inventory of computers, other network-connected devices and installed software, and provides a generic infrastructure for downloading files and executing commands on selected clients, allowing centralized software updates, remote configuration and more.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- A [PostgreSQL](https://postgresql.org) or [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com) (or one of its derivates, like [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org)) database. Support for other database backends may be added in the future.
- [Perl](https://perl.org) and some Perl modules (see installation instructions),
- A web server, either [Apache httpd](http://httpd.apache.org) with [mod\_perl](https://perl.apache.org) or any web server capabale of executing CGI scripts, for the main server component.
- A web server with 64-bit [PHP](https://php.net) 8.2 or later for the administration console. PHP is also required for most of the command line tools. The following PHP extensions are required:

    - The PDO extension
    - A database-specific PDO driver extension
    - The "intl" extension
    - The "mbstring" extension
    - The "zip" extension is optional. If present, the package builder can create ZIP archives on the fly.
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
- On every client that should be managed through Braintacle, the [OCS Inventory NG agent](https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/) must be installed.
