It runs efficiently on minimal hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi, making it an ideal choice for embedded systems.\n\nImages are displayed using [fbida](https://github.com/fcarlier/fbida), eliminating the need for a desktop environment. This allows the software to run smoothly even on low-power devices, including the Raspberry Pi Zero W.\n\nBeyond simple image display, this application offers comprehensive slideshow management. See the [Features](#features) section for a complete overview and the [Preview](#preview) section for screenshots.\n\nA Node.js server runs in the background, enabling remote control of the image frame through a web interface. (Though calling Node.js a \"background process\" might be generous - it's one of the heaviest objects in the universe!)\n\n## Features\n\n1. **Image Management**: Upload, organize, and delete images with folder-based organization\n2. **Custom Slideshows**: Create personalized slideshows using images from multiple folders\n3. **Scheduling**: Schedule specific slideshows to play during predefined timeframes\n4. **Remote Updates**: Update the software directly from the web interface\n\n## Preview\n\n| ![Image 1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d32e281d-9585-459e-be0c-06113634185f) | ![Image 2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0451dbf9-e4f1-4ebe-97f0-dcf81d982288) |\n|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|\n| ![Image 3](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ec8c2e3-4583-4668-9cd9-cbae1a32d467) | ![Image 4](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f79767ea-603a-4741-b476-9a8a0288305d) |\n\n## Installation\n\nFollow these steps to set up your imageframe:\n\n### 1. Operating System Installation\n\nInstall a Debian-based Linux distribution suitable for your hardware. For Raspberry Pi devices, we recommend [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/).\n\n**Installation Steps:**\n\n1. Download and use the official Raspberry Pi Imager (available for Windows, macOS, and Linux)\n2. The official imager simplifies headless setup configuration\n3. Configure SSH, Wi-Fi, and user account during the imaging process\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e Ensure you select the correct storage device during installation to prevent data loss.\n\n### 2. System Configuration\n\nConnect to your device and configure the system:\n\n```bash\n# Connect via SSH (replace with your device's IP address)\nssh imageframe@192.168.1.100\n\n# Switch to root user\nsudo su\n\n# Update the system\napt update \u0026\u0026 apt upgrade -y\n\n# Set timezone (if not configured during imaging)\ntimedatectl set-timezone Region/City\n\n# Configure passwordless sudo for convenience\nvisudo\n```\n\nEdit the sudoers file to uncomment this line:\n\n```bash\n%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL\n```\n\n**Fix Hardware Acceleration (Raspberry Pi specific):**\n\nEdit the boot configuration:\n\n```bash\nsudo nano /boot/config.txt\n```\n\nMake these changes:\n\n```bash\n# Comment out or remove this line:\ndtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d\n\n# Add this line instead:\ndtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d\n```\n\nReboot after making these changes:\n\n```bash\nsudo reboot\n```\n\n### 3. Application Setup\n\nInstall dependencies and set up the imageframe application:\n\n```bash\n# Install required packages\nsudo apt install fbida git npm figlet -y\n\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone https://github.com/zMoooooritz/imageframe ~/imageframe\n\n# Run the setup script\ncd ~/imageframe\nbash scripts/setup.sh\n```\n\n## Advanced Features\n\n### Enhanced Status Display\n\nFor users who want additional status information, a modified version of fbida is available in my [fork](https://github.com/zMoooooritz/fbida). This enhancement allows the imageframe Web UI to display advanced state information about currently displayed images.\n\n**Note:** This feature is optional and requires manual compilation. No pre-compiled binaries are provided, so users must:\n\n1. Compile the application for their specific hardware\n2. Install the necessary dependencies\n3. Replace the system fbida with the enhanced version\n\nThis modification provides a richer user experience but is not required for basic functionality.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nAfter installation, access the web interface by navigating to your device's IP address in a web browser. From there, you can:\n\n- Upload and organize your images\n- Create custom slideshows\n- Set up scheduling\n- Monitor system status\n- Update the application\n\nEnjoy your new imageframe!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzmoooooritz%2Fimageframe","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzmoooooritz%2Fimageframe","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzmoooooritz%2Fimageframe/lists"}
