## About
|
|
|
|
REST API to access the Raspberry PI RGB LED Matrix over HTTP.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** This webserver should _never_ be exposed to the outside of the system it's running on, since it's meant to be combined with the provided `SvelteKit` webserver to serve a GUI. Although it can still be run in standalone, please make sure you set up a firewall or other kinds of access rules to **forbid any connections** from outside of this machine (localhost).
|
|
|
|
## How to run
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Once run, you should not simply kill the process. Graceful shutdown is work-in-progress.
|
|
|
|
- Attached mode:
|
|
```python
|
|
sudo python3 main.py
|
|
```
|
|
- Running as daemon:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a system.d service file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
After=network.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/project
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/project/main.py
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Place file in `/etc/systemd/system/`
|
|
3. Reload system.d daemon:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Enable and start service:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl enable <filename>
|
|
sudo systemctl start <filename>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
```bash
|
