Install to RPI

Pre-requisite:

• Node JS
• NPM

Clone the nodejs-rpi-controller repository. Create a file secret.json inside nodejs-rpi-controller:

{
    "host": "<Hostname>",
    "username": "<Pi user>",
    "password": "<Pi user password>"
}

And run npm install && grunt deploy to install minimal version of the application!

Running the app

Runs like a typical express app:

node app.js

Install on RPI init.d

• Create directory /opt/node/apps sudo mkdir -p /opt/node/apps && sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/node/apps
• Clone git repository into /opt/node/apps cd /opt/node/apps && git clone https://github.com/ryarnyah/nodejs-rpi-controller.git
• Install dependencies cd nodejs-rpi-controller && npm install
• Create nodejs-rpi-controller startup script sudo nano /etc/init.d/nodejs-rpi-controller-startup.sh

Paste this:

#!/bin/bash

NODE=/opt/node/bin/node
SERVER_JS_FILE=/opt/node/apps/nodejs-rpi-controller/app.js
USER=pi
OUT=/opt/node/apps/nodejs-rpi-controller/nodejs.log

case "$1" in

start)
     echo "starting node: $NODE $SERVER_JS_FILE"
     sudo -u $USER $NODE $SERVER_JS_FILE > $OUT 2>$OUT &
     ;;

stop)
     killall $NODE
     ;;

*)
     echo "usage: $0 (start|stop)"
esac

exit 0

Start nodejs server sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/nodejs-rpi-controller-startup.sh && sudo /etc/init.d/nodejs-rpi-controller-startup.sh start && sudo update-rc.d nodejs-rpi-controller-startup.sh defaults
