Wirow is an open-source software that provides a web interface for managing your Waveshare ePaper display. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Wirow on Arch Linux.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed.
You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm
Clone the Wirow repository.
git clone https://github.com/wirow-io/wirow-server.git
Navigate to the Wirow repository.
cd wirow-server
Install the required npm packages.
npm install
Copy the sample configuration file.
cp config.sample.js config.js
Edit the configuration file.
nano config.js
Replace any values with your own. For example, you can change the server name or the port number.
Start the Wirow server.
npm start
The server should start running on the specified port.
To access Wirow in your web browser, go to the following address:
http://<your-server-address>:<your-port>
For example, if you set the server address to localhost and the port number to 3000, you would access Wirow at:
http://localhost:3000
You have now successfully installed Wirow on Arch Linux. You can now use the web interface to manage your Waveshare ePaper displays.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
