Hey I am building daptin. I have chosen golang so that it can run on raspi (or any target).

I haven't personally tried it on raspi yet since I don't have one, but I invite you to give this a try

If I understand correctly you should be able to run the arm7 static build directly

You can find the docs here at https://docs.dapt.in

There is a nice dashboard accessible over the web which you can completely protect after signing up on it. Daptin is completely standalone and can work offline (doesn't load any asset from internet as such, everything is packed in). You can reach me out via my github profile.

edit:

a little bit more details of how you would build what you asked

- create a subsite exposing html form

- use js to call daptin api

- daptin creates a sqlite db (unless configured otherwise)

- share subsite address with users

- take dump from admin dashboard

This sounds very interesting and the timing couldn't be perfect. How does your dashboard differ from the freeboard.io that was referenced below?

Don't see freebord referenced in this thread, but I just checked out what freeboard is. Seems like freeboard can consume a data source and make graphs out of it. It needs a data source to push data to it I guess. Freeboard looks more in the direction of plotting readily available data from one source.

Daptin on the other hands manages your database, build REST/Graphql APIs which you can use from any page and provides automation using actions/outcomes.

That looks really interesting. I'll have a play!
