DietPi-Dashboard (W.I.P)

Just centralizing the information on this repo from https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/448 @Fourdee feel free to edit this page at anytime 👍

Requirements

Base: Must not require a webserver stack (implies self-contained website). eg: Websockets and Bootstrap/JS. Lightweight (minimal CPU and MEMORY usage)

Main DietPi programs for web implementation:

• DietPi-Software
• DietPi-Config

Additional features:

• Terminal window

Current State:

Sept 2016 C++ version started. Pull all DietPi-Software data into c++. Software installation possible through it.

@mknrls

Thanks 👍

C++ version started. Pull all DietPi-Software data into c++. Software installation possible through it.

This was created solely because we were planning to use a C++ web library. However, I can change that for bootstrap/JS.

In short, this is how the web interface would work with dietpi-software script:

• Run /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software weblist_export to get list of available software, installed states etc.
• That will create files with an export of the data in /tmp/dietpi-software/weblist_export/*, each line is a index of array. eg, 32 = HiFi
• That data then needs to be pulled into the web interface as an array, for each file.

If you need more info, let me know.

@Fourdee how about we used nodejs as web server like it is already self-contain (got the idea from volumio). now just have to figure out how the data will be pulled to display it in the web interface
