Mongoose daemon mode
Introduction
Mongoose is a daemon mode of SWUpdate that provides a web server, web interface and web application.
The web application in web-app uses the Node.js package manager
and gulp as build tool. It depends on Bootstrap 4,
Font Awesome 5 and Dropzone.js.
Startup
After having configured and compiled SWUpdate with enabled mongoose web server:
./swupdate --help
lists the mandatory and optional arguments to be provided to mongoose. As an example,
./swupdate -l 5 -w '-r ./examples/www/v2 -p 8080' -p 'reboot'
runs SWUpdate in mongoose daemon mode with log-level TRACE and a web
server at http://localhost:8080.
Example
The ready to use example of the web application in the
examples/www/v2 directory uses a Public Domain background.jpg
image from pixabay with is released under the Creative Commons CC0
license. The used favicon.png and logo.png images are made from the
SWUpdate logo and therefore subject to the GNU General Public License
version 2. You must comply to this license or replace the images with
your own files.
Customize
You could customize the web application inside the web-app directory.
Beside the replace of the favicon.png, logo.png and background.jpg
images inside the images directory you could customize the Bootstrap
colors and settings inside the scss/bootstrap.scss style sheet. The
style sheet changes need a rebuild of the web application source code.
Develop
The development requires Node.js version 18 or greater and a prebuilt SWUpdate project with enabled mongoose web server and web application interface version 2 support.
Enter the web application directory:
cd ./web-app
Install the dependencies:
npm install
Build the web application:
npm run build
Start the web application:
../swupdate -w '-r ./dist -p 8080' -p 'echo reboot'
Test the web application:
Pack the web application (optional):
npm run package -- --output swupdate-www.tar.gz
