## 🐳 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 \
|

|
|
-v ./data/db:/app/data/db \

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 !

### 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`
