Open Source Image Duplicator - Python3

OSID offers a UI (in the form of a webpage) wrapper to dcfldd to assist in duplicating SD cards from a Raspberry Pi.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 2
• 32 GB SD Card
• Official Raspberry Pi Touch Display
• Monoprice powered USB hubs (7 ports) (4 total)
• Monoprice SD card readers (26 total, rpi2 will stall on any more)

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

dcfldd
Python3
Pip3
cherrypy (through pip)

Installation and Deployment

TODO: Just run the setup script

sudo python3 setup.py

Manual Installation

Manual Install

Instructions is for Raspbian since this is designed to be ran on a Raspberry Pi.

Make sure you have python3 and pip3 and dcfldd.

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip dcfldd

and the CherryPy library.

sudo pip3 install cherrypy

Or

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To Do: Create an installation script to do it all.

Manual Deployment

Navigate to the system folder and create the needed files from the sample files.

cd /path_to_folder/osid-python3/system

Inside there should be 3 files that we need to setup:

• server.ini
• run_app.sh
• osid.desktop

For now we'll just create those files from the samples.

mv server.ini.sample server.ini
mv run_app.sh.sample run_app.sh
mv osid.desktop.sample ~/Desktop/osid.desktop

Then proceed to modify those files to match the system paths for the items in those files.

server.ini

• ImagePath is the directory holding the .img files that can be used.
• Host is the hostname used for the webpage.
• SocketPort is the port you want to use to dish out the API links.
• Logs is the directory to hold all of your logs.
• SkeletonLocation is where you can find the Skeleton CSS Framework.
  • A Skeleton CSS file is included in www.
  • You can also pull a fresh copy of the Skeleton-Framework and define the location.

run_app.sh

• Run app will cd into the system folder, so define the installation path.
• It will then open up chromium-browser and navigate to the hostname and port.
  • So define the url that the browser will use to connect to the main page.

osid.desktop

• Just make sure the path for the run_app.sh script is defined properly.

Built With

• Skeleton-Framework - CSS framework used to structure Web UI
• CherryPy - API Library for Python used to manage all actions
• rockandscissor/OSID - Base Project originally written in PHP and Bash
