Update 2024-03-05

• Build v2 runs without virtual microphone errors.
• Will add build and install instructions. Until then, please find my notes below.

What I've done so far

• Extracted and added build_redis.sh from sources, added aarch64 (arm64).
• Bump Daemon version from 1.9-SNAPSHOT to 2.0 in pom.xml
• Updated a frew dependencies in pom.xml
• Added compiled redis for aarch64 in src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/redis/aarch64.
• Added compiled AppImages for arm, aarch64 and x64.
• Added requirements.txt for the python environment.
• install.py: removed calls to absent domain abstractfoundry.com. Version is hardcoded for now.
• install.py: changed /boot/config.txt to /boot/firmware/config.txt
• Added support for non-wifi interfaces for fetching the ip address.

Notes

• Daemon and redis only seem to compile well on x86_64
• pipewire-pulse provides a pulseaudio-compatible daemon in deb12. More info here
• pulseaudio-utils might be needed in default installs for pactl
• if run in a shell with sudo, su or as root you'll get audio/connection errors.
  • I guess this is also the reason for the systemd-service in userland
• python requirements need to be installed with --break-system-packages in deb12. :(
• a python virtualenv could be used but would have to be sourced through a users .profile . This should not be done for a regular user as it can break system utilities. You'd have to create an extra user for running the daemon.
• werkzeug and the rest of the python libraries in requirements.txt need to be pinned to these versions.
• my build-commands for the daemon (issued from the root of this repo):
  • rm Daemon-2.0*
  • rm -R target/
  • echo "--- cleanup done ---"
  • mvn clean
  • mvn compile
  • mvn package
  • cp target/Daemon-2.0.zip ./
  • ./build.sh Daemon-2.0

ToDo

• build a docker container, then don't care about pip install --break-system-packages
• publish the dockerimage.
• writeup all changes, do more testing.
• install.py: do more cleanup
• remove updatecheck calling out to abstractfoundry.com

Dream of..

• a daemon based on python. More documentation would help.
