## 🐳 Run with docker
### With docker (for test)
```bash
# Prepare application data file tree
mkdir -p obscreen/data/db obscreen/data/uploads && cd obscreen
# Run the Docker container
# If you ARE NOT on a RaspberryPi ignore the line (-v /home/pi/....)
docker run --rm --name obscreen --pull=always \
-e DEBUG=false \
-e PORT=5000 \
-e AUTOCONFIGURE_LX_FILE=/app/var/run/lxfile \
-e SECRET_KEY=ANY_SECRET_KEY_HERE \
-p 5000:5000 \
-v ./data/db:/app/data/db \
-v ./data/uploads:/app/data/uploads \
-v /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart:/app/var/run/lxfile \
jierka/obscreen:latest
```
### With docker-compose
```bash
# Prepare application data file tree
mkdir -p obscreen/data/db obscreen/data/uploads && cd obscreen
# Download docker-compose.yml
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jr-k/obscreen/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
# If you ARE NOT on a RaspberryPi execute the line below
uname | grep -q 'Darwin' && sed -i '' '/\/home\/pi/s/^/#/' docker-compose.yml || sed -i '/\/home\/pi/s/^/#/' docker-compose.yml
# Run
docker compose up
```
## 📠 Run system wide
### Install
```bash
# Install system dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git chromium-browser unclutter
# Get files
git clone https://github.com/jr-k/obscreen.git && cd obscreen
# Install application dependencies
pip3 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 is available in `http://localhost:5000/settings` page.
### Start server (for test)
```bash
./obscreen.py
```
### Start server forever with systemctl
```bash
sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/system/obscreen.service" /etc/systemd/system/obscreen.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable obscreen.service
sudo systemctl start obscreen.service
```
To troubleshoot you can check logs
```bash
sudo journalctl -u obscreen -f
```
## 👌 Usage
- Page which plays slideshow is reachable at `http://localhost:5000`
- Slideshow manager is reachable at `http://localhost: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.
- Be sure that `AUTOCONFIGURE_LX_FILE` is writeable !
## 📎 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`
