Configuring different port in client #16

Closed oliboehm closed 4 years ago

oliboehm commented 4 years ago

Hi,

since I use several AWTRIX in my network, I control them via several Docker Host instances. Here I use the possibility to map the ports for each container in the docker (internal 7001 / external 7002, 7003, etc.). For this purpose I have extended the client source code with a query of the host port (incl. saving).

Maybe it is also helpful for others.

Another thing I would like to see is the possibility to reset the client from the host (incl. deleting the files awtrix.json). This would be useful if e.g. the port or the IP address changes. Currently I have to open the case to get the reset button (double reset).

I have awtrix running on a raspberry with 2 matrix but like yourself would like to control both with different screens info, I can see the files but how do I use them to do this thanks in advance, I am not running docker on raspberry pie would I have to do that also for it to work, I don't mind but as I have the server running at the moment I would have to change or install docker which I think I can do

If you want to control more than one matrix client with different apps you have to install more than one host. One host for each client with different settings. I'm not sure if you can run several host instances in parallel on a raspberry but it works with docker. You should ask Blueforcer if it's possible.
