rheikvaneyck / rnexus Goto Github PK

Hi,

I read about rnexus in the raspberry pi geek magazin (05.2013).
This really raised my interest in the project, so I had to get an tfa nexus and a raspberry pi. Today I installed the nexus and your software on my newly bought raspberry...
... although I am not that familiar with ruby (I usually work with java and javascript) it all works great.

THANKS for your great work... it would have taken me much more time to get some weather data into my local network without your tool. 👍

There is only one question left:
Is there something like an init script (which calls "ruby bin/rnexus" in the source directory) that can be copied to /etc/init.d? By now I use a screen terminal, so that the server keeps running when closing my SSH session, but this doesn't work after a system restart.

Would it be hard to create such an init script? Or is there an existing solution (which I could not find, so maybe it should be documented...)

Kind regards (and thanks again),
Niko

• write the documentation for the deployment and data update workflow using heroku,com as application host

• find out what time zone the weather station delivers and adjust the x-axis to local time zone values

Readme.md doesn't reflect the current work-flow.

• replace fixed column names for active outdoor sensor (temperature and humidity)

I tried running the app in a subfolder (e.g http://weatherpi:4567/weatherpi), but it seems to be quite hard to do.
This would ease running the web application behind a proxy (my webserver could then proxy to the raspberry pi and I would not need to open an additional port on my router).

I changed some paths in /web/controllers/web_dash_controller.rb (images should be prefixed with relative_url) and in /web/views/layout.html (css and js includes should also be prefix with relaive_url). That made my application work "somehow", but without data showing. The results looks like this:

Would it be possible to add an extra configuration option "relative_url" which starts the web_app in subdirectory??

• create an init script for debian

Problem: If rackup starts in daemon mode it changes the path to /. Thus, all paths in the code have to be adjusted. This leads to refactoring the code (and make it better :-) )
