## Quickstart

Install and start the server on the display computer or RPi:

$ pip install picklecast $ picklecast Server address: 192.168.1.100 Display URL: http://localhost:8443/display http://192.168.1.100:8443/display Client URL: http://192.168.1.100:8443/

Then open the display URL in a web-browser on the display computer. You can now share your screen from a personal device by visiting the client URL.

Optionally install as a user service on Linux to keep it running the background:

picklecast install_service systemctl –user daemon-reload systemctl –user start picklecast

## How it Works

Picklecast is just a Python program that serves HTML and relays handshake messages between two browsers. The streaming and displaying is handled in Javascript in the display/client browsers using the WebRTC api.
