Checkbox Server

Server software to run on Tapster Checkbox hardware

Note: Most of the set-up can be done by an automated script: https://valetnet.dev/config-os/

Install Checkbox Server

cd ~/Projects/checkbox
source env/bin/activate    
git clone https://github.com/tapsterbot/checkbox-server.git
cd checkbox-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run video setup

cd ~/Projects/checkbox/checkbox-server/video-driver
chmod u+x set-up-video.sh
./set-up-video.sh

Optional: Install uStreamer pre-reqs

sudo apt install libevent-dev libbsd-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev

Optional: Install uStreamer

cd ~/Projects
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tapsterbot/ustreamer.git
cd ustreamer/
make

Optional: Run uStreamer

Note: You have to run the set-up-video.sh listed above after every reboot of the system and every time you (re)plug in a phone.

./ustreamer --device=/dev/video0 --host=0.0.0.0

### or

./ustreamer --device=/dev/video0 --host=0.0.0.0 --resolution=1920x1080 --format=UYVY

Optional: Open a browser and view the stream

If that works, then let's startup the Checkbox Server (finally!)

Now stop the uStreamer app...
