Rentease is a property-management application to help landlords to manage your rental properties efficiently. With Rentease, you can create invoices, generate activity reports, and sync all the booking platforms you use.

Features

• Invoice Management: Create and manage invoices for your rental properties with ease.
• Activity Reports: Generate detailed reports of rental activities to keep track of your property performance.
• Platform Sync: Sync bookings across multiple platforms to streamline your rental management.

Getting Started

To get started with Rentease, follow these steps.

Prerequisites

You need a version of the Go programming language installed. You can either install it via your package manager or via Go's official website. You also need a PostgreSQL database. You can install it locally using Homebrew or use a cloud alternative such as Railway, fly.io, etc.

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/rjNemo/rentease.git
   cd rentease
   

2. Install the dependencies

   go mod download
   

3. Setup PostgreSQL: Ensure you have PostgreSQL installed and running. Create a database for Rentease:

   createdb rentease
   

4. Configure the application: Create a .env file in the project root with the following environment variables:

   DB_HOST=localhost
   DB_PORT=5432
   DB_USER=your_db_username
   DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
   DB_NAME=rentease
   # Stripe configuration (optional until you enable automatic sync)
   APP_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_key
   APP_STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret
   APP_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID=acct_your_account_id
   

   Leave the Stripe variables blank to continue using manual cash entry only. When set, Rentease will pull payments from Stripe, process webhooks sent to /webhooks/stripe, and expose a manual sync endpoint at POST /api/stripe/sync (protected by the existing API key middleware). Providing APP_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID also enables dashboard links for synchronized card payments.

5. Start the application

   make dev
   

Development Commands

Use the included Makefile for common tasks:

• make dev: Run the dev container with live reload (Air) on http://localhost:8000.
• make run: Build and run the production image locally.
• make test: Run go test ./... inside the dev container.
• make format: Generate templ files and format code.
• make lint: Lint with golangci-lint.
• make stop: Stop the dev container.

6. Access the application: Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to start using Rentease.
