fix - browser bot project #187

Closed RobertLucian closed 6 years ago

RobertLucian commented 6 years ago

My initial attempt was at making the browser bot work with the older packages from Jessie, since a quick search told me there's no support for Stretch for UV4L just yet - quite recent posts on various forums.

Unfortunately, I got into security and package incompatibility issues and that made me rethink the strategy as it had felt like a dead-end. Then I decided to dive a little more into seeing if there's someone who succeeded to make this work and surprisingly, I found that support for Stretch has just arrived not long ago. I used the new sources and it now works.

The only caveat is that older versions for distributions such as jessie and wheezy are no longer maintained, but I don't think that's going to affect us in any way.

We have way too many R4R out there with Jessie to just drop it. Can the project be duplicated then? One for Jessie, one for Stretch?

RobertLucian commented 6 years ago

I can make it work for Jessie just as it is, but I'm not sure for how long things will work on it. There's no need to duplicate it.

@CleoQc the project is now supported on Jessie too.

I also changed the hardcoded links for dex.local and used dynamic links within the html template. This is in case someone wants to run this on a pure Raspbian. I've tested it and it works fine.

I would like one day to integrate this project on DexterOS . These changes will make it easier.
