Server Side App

[smartymrpl]

Hello!

I tried to search the board to find if there is a thread on this topic. If it exists I'm sorry for missing it. Please share the link.

Please advise if there is a chance to install/launch qlcplus as a server side app (e.g. on Ubuntu server with no gui). connect a dmx controller to it (as the easiest way to do) and operate my lights with a win/ubuntu laptop just opening a client app on it?

Why do I need that? It's easier and faster to swap laptops if I have a server that stores media library and everything I need to work with.

That would be also great to have an ipad/android app but it's not planned afaik.

You'll find lot of information in Raspberry Pi section.

- QLC+ is Qt/X application, so you can run on server and add use ssh X forwarding (-X) to bring the UI from server to notebook
- if you don't have local X server, you may use xvnc and local VNC client
- you can run dummy X server on server (xvfb, https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra) and use web interface to access QLC+

For tablets, web interface is a way for now.
