# Description
This is a web-app agent for the Raspberry Pi. It allows you to interact easily with your Pi via your browser.
# How to install
## Early adapters
On your raspberry pi download and install the latest 0.7.x debian package from
from https://github.com/vaslabs/pi-web-agent/releases .
You're probably gonna need the arm.deb one (not the arm64)
This is a pre release. For any ideas let us know https://github.com/vaslabs/pi-web-agent/discussions
For any issues feel free to report here https://github.com/vaslabs/pi-web-agent/issues
We are not supporting the old version anymore, all hands are to build a brand new pi-web-agent that's easy to maintain and for users to install and use with minimal to zero dependencies.
## Devs only
### Pre-requisites
- [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/)
- [golang](https://golang.org/)
- npm
- [angular](https://angular.io/)
### Back-End development
The service will be communicating via a websocket. To test the service without
FE you can use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smart-websocket-client/omalebghpgejjiaoknljcfmglgbpocdp/related?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog
#### Setup hook
```
make check-hook
```
#### Run app
```
make run-backend
```
#### Run tests
```
make test-backend
```
### Dev Environment Wrapper
Given that you have all dependencies setup on your machine
rpi in your `/etc/hosts` and `.ssh/config` entry for `pi` user
called `rpi` you can run `./dev.sh` to spin a reloadable front-end with
current backend build.
If you you update backend just `ctrl-c` and run `./dev.sh` again
The dev app is accessible to your lan via your local ip since dev server
listens to `0.0.0.0`.
(and to the public via your public ip if you did any port forwarding
to your machine)
### Front-End development
Associate pi web agent address with the name `rpi` in `/etc/hosts`
For example:
```
192.168.0.12 rpi
```
(that name is used to proxy requests to your raspberry pi)
```
cd ui/pi-we-agent-app
npm start
```
### Build
```
make build
```
