Installing from source is done as follows

Install

Production Install

Helios is available from PyPi as helios-monitor. It can be installed using

sudo apt install ffmpeg python3-influxdb
pip install helios-monitor

Helios exposes a Prometheus metrics endpoint with the volume of the stream that can be scraped.

Helios can then be run using

helios <stream_url>

Development Install

When developing Helios, it is useful to use a virtual environment to avoid poluting your desktop with unnecessary libraries. This is done using VirtualEnv.

Once VirtualEnv is installed, fork, clone the repo and create a virtual environment:

sudo apt install ffmpeg
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-video-team/helios
cd helios
virtualenv -p python3 pyenv
pyenv/bin/pip install -e .

Then the project can be edited and finally run as follows:

pyenv/bin/helios <stream url>
