Run Headless #6

Open djsakisd opened 6 years ago

Hi @jontio

Is it possible to run this on a headless unit ? I succesfully compiled it on a pi3 (i already have jack working fine) but jmpx needs to start x.

Hi djsakisd,

JMPX is in two parts a library that does most of the work and a GUI. However there is currently no CLI program that accesses the library. With Qt it would be fairly easy to modify the GUI to be a CLI program but no one has done that yet.

The other way would be to use something like VNC to connect to your pi (you don't need a monitor connected to the pi) this seems to be the way some people are use JMPX.

Cheers, Jonti

Hi, I would also like to use JMPX on a headless server. I don't want to waste resources on Xorg.

Thanks.
