+# Asset Browser
+
+A self-hosted web application for browsing and managing assets pulled from Syncro MSP. Provides role-based access for technicians and clients, barcode label generation, and a label queue for batch printing.
+
+Built by Carmichael Computing.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 22 or higher
+- PM2 (`npm install -g pm2`)
+- A Syncro MSP account with API access
+- A reverse proxy (nginx recommended) for production
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+**1. Clone the repository and install dependencies**
+
+```
+git clone https://git.farmtowntech.com/setonc/asset_browser.git
+cd asset_browser
+npm install
+```
+
+**2. Configure environment**
+
+```
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env` and fill in the following:
+
+- `SESSION_SECRET` — a long random string, generate one with:
+  ```
+  node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(64).toString('hex'))"
+  ```
+- `SYNCRO_BASE_URL` — your Syncro API base URL, e.g. `https://yoursubdomain.syncromsp.com/api/v1`
+- `SYNCRO_API_KEY` — your Syncro API key
+
+**3. Configure the client**
+
+Edit `public/config.js` and update the `syncro` block with your Syncro subdomain and base URL.
+
+**4. Update the PM2 config**
+
+Edit `ecosystem.config.js` and set `cwd` to the absolute path of the installation directory, and update `name` if desired.
+
+**5. Create the first admin user**
+
+```
+npm run create-user
+```
+
+Follow the prompts. Choose the `superduperadmin` role for full access.
+
+**6. Start the server**
+
+```
+pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
+pm2 save
+```
+
+The server listens on port 3000 by default. Point your reverse proxy at it.
+
+---
+
+## User Management
+
+The `create-user` script handles all user management from the command line:
+
+```
+npm run create-user                   # create a new user (interactive)
+npm run create-user list              # list all users
+npm run create-user deactivate <id>   # deactivate a user
+npm run create-user reset <id>        # reset a user's password
+```
+
+---
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role             | Access                                      |
+|------------------|---------------------------------------------|
+| superduperadmin  | Full access including server management     |
+| admin            | User management and all standard features   |
+| tech             | Asset browsing, label printing              |
+| client           | Read-only access scoped to their company    |
