μlogger is a GPS logger that runs on a variety of devices, including smartphones and Raspberry Pi. It is open-source and available for free on GitHub. This tutorial will show you how to install μlogger on EndeavourOS Latest.
For this tutorial, you'll need:
Before you can install μlogger, you need to install a few dependencies. Open your terminal and type the following commands:
sudo pacman -S python python-setuptools python-sqlalchemy python-sqlite
sudo pacman -S git
These commands will install python, python-setuptools, python-sqlalchemy, python-sqlite, and git.
Once you have installed the required dependencies, you can begin installing μlogger. First, navigate to the directory where you want to install μlogger, and then clone the μlogger repository from GitHub:
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/bfabiszewski/ulogger-server.git
This will create a new directory named ulogger-server in the /opt directory, containing all of the μlogger files.
Now, navigate to the ulogger-server directory and run the following command to install μlogger:
sudo python setup.py install
This will install the μlogger Python package and all of its dependencies.
Once you have installed μlogger, you need to configure it to run on your device. Navigate to the ulogger-server directory and open the config.ini file in a text editor:
cd /opt/ulogger-server
sudo nano config.ini
In this file, you can configure various aspects of μlogger, including the path to the SQLite database file, the IP address and port number for the web server, and the GPS device settings.
Make any desired changes to the config.ini file, and then save and close it.
Once you have configured μlogger, you can start the server using the following command:
sudo ulogger-server start
This will launch the μlogger server and start logging GPS data.
You can view the GPS data by navigating to the IP address and port number you specified in the config.ini file in a web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure μlogger on EndeavourOS Latest. With this powerful GPS logging tool, you can collect and analyze GPS data from a variety of devices.
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!
