Ethercam

Hackathon project for EthBoston (2019): https://devpost.com/software/ethercam

Development

1. ssh into the Raspberry pi and install nvm and the latest nodejs. Make note of the node version.

2. Clone the project as a bare repo.

   By default it's assumed your git project folder is ~/git/ethercam.git

   git clone --bare git://theproject.git

3. Create a folder for the actual built project to live

   By default it's assumed your built project folder is ~/projects/ethercam

4. Add the hooks/post-receive file from this project to ~/git/ethercam.git/hooks/

   This will make it so that pushing to this repo will automatically check it out in the projects folder and build it.

5. Add the systemd/nodeserver.service file from this project to /etc/systemd/system/, making sure to change the node version number and location in the ExecStart section if needed

   This starts up the node project as soon as the pi boots

6. Make the file executable with sudo chmod +x /etc/systemd/system/nodeserver.service

7. Enable the systemd service with sudo systemctl enable nodeserver
