Proberaum for Backstage

Items

Items will use metadata name, title as defined in https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/descriptor-format

The additional spec will contain information like:

  • assigned or responsible user (I guess owner is misleading here)
  • expected location (ref to a location entity)
  • last seen location (ref to a location entity)
  • rented to (more for personal belongings)
  • identifiers (a record of IDs and serial numbers)
  • a note?
  • picture(s)?
  • history?

(Exact property names tbd.)

Example:

apiVersion: assets.backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Item
metadata:
  name: coffee-machine
spec:
  location: room:kitchen
