dwload-server 0.1.0

DWLOAD server implemented in Python

DwLoadServer

DWLOAD server implemented in Python (OpenSource, GPL v3 or above).

It’s in unuseable, experimental state and currently nothing more then some tests scripts.

current state

Currently the server can only send files to the DWLOAD client.

installation

The is a virtualenv bootstrap file, created with bootstrap_env, for easy installation.

Get the bootstrap file:

/home/FooBar$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DWLOAD/DwLoadServer/master/boot_dwload_server.py

There are tree types of installation:

option	desciption
pypi	use Python Package Index (for all normal user!)
git_readonly	use git to get the sourcecode (for developer without write access)
dev	use git with write access

e.g.:

/home/FooBar$ python3 boot_dwload_server.py ~/dwload_server_env --install_type pypi

This creates a virtualenv in ``~/dwload_server_env`` and used the packages from the Python Package Index.

startup

Setup server root directory. This is the directory for the files that are interchange with the client.

/home/FooBar$ cd ~/dwload_server_env/
/home/FooBar/dwload_server_env$ mkdir root

You have to put the DWEEB files into the root dir. e.g. dwload-demo-files from: https://github.com/DWLOAD/DWLOAD

To start the server:

/home/FooBar$ cd ~/dwload_server_env/
/home/FooBar/dwload_server_env$ ./bin/python -m dwload_server.dwload_server --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --root_dir ./root

Display CLI help:

/home/FooBar/dwload_server_env$ ./bin/python -m dwload_server.dwload_server --help

TODO

• compare checksum

• maybe use a config.ini file?!?
