See the splash page at http://cute.casa.

Overview

CuteCasa is a self-hosted house administration system. Through online dashboards, you can control every aspect of your IoT-enabled house, split bills, manage rent, delegate tasks, and more.

Technologies

• Python
• • Flask
• jQuery
• Sass
• Bulma

Setup

Being a self-hosted solution, you'll need to run this on your own equipment. The cute.casa website is intended for future paid/dedicated hosting.

Requirements

• Python (3.5+)
• • Flask
• • ZODB
• Sass (sass)
• Typescript (tsc)

Running CuteCasa

Create a shell script to load the variables in cute.py and to launch the program:

#!/bin/sh
export CUTE_DB="config/secret/cute.db"
export CUTE_DEBUG="False"
export CUTE_SECRET_KEY="set a secret development key"
export CUTE_USERNAME="admin"
export CUTE_PASSWORD="set a secret password"
export CUTE_PORT="5050"
export CUTE_SALT="16 or so good random bytes"
python3 cute.py

Set it executable (chmod +x run.sh) and run it (./run.sh). If everything's set up correctly, CuteCasa will now be running on your server. Obviously don't commit this file into VCS.
