Open E-Label

Open-source solution for electronic labels on wine bottles.

The Open E-Label project aims to provide a standardized and open-source solution for QR Code labeling on products sold within the European Union. This initiative seeks to enhance transparency, efficiency, and information accessibility in the wine industry.

Electronic labels provide allergy, energy, ingredient and nutritional information to consumers.

We believe that technology to provide non-commercial nutrition information to benefit consumers should be made available for free.

🧾 Features

• Electronic Labeling: Replacing traditional paper labels with electronic labels, promoting sustainability and reducing waste.
• Multilingual Support: Ensuring labels can be displayed in multiple languages to accommodate diverse consumers within the EU.
• Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to EU regulations regarding wine labeling, providing a platform that streamlines compliance for wineries.

📱How to Use

1. Scan the QR code on the wine bottle with a QR code scanner.
2. The E-label for the wine will be displayed on your device.
3. You can switch between languages using the language selection option on the E-label.

🏃 Build & Run locally

To build the Open E-Label project using Visual Studio, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to a local folder
2. Open ELabel.sln solution with Visual Studio
3. Build and start the project

🚀 Deployment

The web app can be deployed using the published Docker image. Here are the steps to run it with Docker compose:

1 Create a new directory and download docker-compose.yml sample:

mkdir elabel && cd elabel
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filipecarneiro/ELabel/main/docker-compose.yml

2 Write your passwords to an .env file (change to your own passwords!):

echo "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=MyStrongPassword" >> .env
echo "ADMIN_PASSWORD=MyAdminPassword" >> .env

3 Start all containers:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

4 View Logs:

docker-compose logs -f

db will take some time in the first start, so the app will restart a couple of times. Be patient!

When you see something like Now listening on: http://[::]:8080 on the log, open your browser with the server name or IP address.
