# Obscreen - Autorun on RaspberryPi > #### πŸ‘ˆ [back to readme](/README.md) #### πŸ”΄ You want to power RaspberryPi and automatically see your slideshow on a screen connected to it and manage your slideshow ? You're in the right place. ## πŸŽ›οΈ Hardware installation 1. Download RaspberryPi Imager and setup an sdcard with `Raspberry Pi OS Lite` (🚨without desktop, only `Lite` version!). You'll find it under category `Raspberry PI OS (other)` 2. Log into your RaspberryPi locally or via ssh (by default it's `ssh pi@raspberrypi.local`) ## πŸ“Ί Run the player Install player autorun by executing following script ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jr-k/obscreen/master/system/install-autorun-rpi.sh | sudo bash -s -- $USER $HOME ``` --- ## πŸ“‘ Run the manager ### with docker (for test) ```bash # (Optional) Install docker if needed curl -sSL get.docker.com | sh && sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami) && logout # then login again # Prepare application data file tree cd ~ && mkdir -p obscreen/data/db obscreen/data/uploads && cd obscreen # Prepare player autostart file mkdir -p var/run && touch var/run/play && chmod +x var/run/play # Run the Docker container docker run --rm --name obscreen --pull=always \ -e DEBUG=false \ -e PORT=5000 \ -e PLAYER_AUTOSTART_FILE=/app/var/run/play \ -e SECRET_KEY=ANY_SECRET_KEY_HERE \ -p 5000:5000 \ -v ./data/db:/app/data/db \ -v ./data/uploads:/app/data/uploads \ -v ./var/run/play:/app/var/run/play \ jierka/obscreen:latest ``` --- ### or with docker-compose ```bash # Prepare application data file tree cd ~ && mkdir -p obscreen/data/db obscreen/data/uploads obscreen/system && cd obscreen # Prepare player autostart file mkdir -p var/run && touch var/run/play && chmod +x var/run/play # Download docker-compose.yml curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jr-k/obscreen/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml # Run docker compose up --detach --pull always ``` --- ### or system wide #### Install ```bash # Install system dependencies sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git python3-pip python3-venv # Get files cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/jr-k/obscreen.git && cd obscreen # Install application dependencies python3 -m venv venv source ./venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt # Add some sample data cp data/db/slideshow.json.dist data/db/slideshow.json # Customize server default values cp .env.dist .env ``` #### Configure - Server configuration is editable in `.env` file. - Application configuration will be available at `http://raspberrypi.local:5000/settings` page after run. #### Start server (for test) ```bash python ./obscreen.py ``` #### Start server forever with systemctl ```bash cat "$(pwd)/system/obscreen-manager.service" | sed "s#/home/pi#$HOME#g" | sed "s#=pi#=$USER#g" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/obscreen-manager.service sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable obscreen-manager.service sudo systemctl start obscreen-manager.service ``` #### Troubleshoot ```bash # Watch logs with following command sudo journalctl -u obscreen-manager -f ``` --- ## 🏁 Finally - Run `sudo systemctl restart obscreen-player` or `sudo reboot` --- ## πŸ‘Œ Usage - Page which plays slideshow is reachable at `http://raspberrypi.local:5000` - Slideshow manager is reachable at `http://raspberrypi.local:5000/manage` ## ✨ You are done now :) - If everything is set up correctly, the RaspberryPi shall start chromium in fullscreen directly after boot screen and after some seconds of showing the date & time (`views/player/default.jinja.html`) your slideshow shall start and loop endlessly. - Make sure that `PLAYER_AUTOSTART_FILE` exists and is writeable ! ## πŸ“Ž Additional ### Hardware checks - Basic Setup For basic RaspberryPi setup you can use most of the available guides, for example this one: https://gist.github.com/blackjid/dfde6bedef148253f987 - HDMI Mode You may need to set the HDMI Mode on the raspi to ensure the hdmi resolution matches your screen exactly. Here is the official documentation: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md However, I used this one: `(2,82) = 1920x1080 60Hz 1080p`
