Web-based config for cwc-station on pi

grasuth commented 5 years ago

"My thoughts were around having a web server on the Pi offering this information and more.Web config sounds

/boot/cwc-station.txt could be an override but should be moved after first use
web page to allow changes of config on-the-fly and written to SD (not /boot) - similar to PiStar admin
if we add a decoder, the web page could be the conduit for the decoder output (push)
the benefit of the above is that even if CWC was tethered to a mobile it would be accessible to make changes, in any case it has to be tethered to a network so will always be accessible and avoids having to add knobs and buttons to hardware device"

Yeah, /boot is a hack. Web config sounds nice. Easy enough to do in go with gin or similar framework, so can be easily in process with the rest of cwc-station -- as we do it for the reflector. And that could do keyboard sending as well and probably virtual key/paddle buttons via js/websocket which again aint too hard.

Thinking of using: 1/ simple neautral css/grid from: https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton or similar (responsive, good on a phone, small load) 2/ packr to pack static files into go binary (keep releases tidy)

built-in html templating with a little multi-template support
