Hi. Just installed this on my Pi Zero. Initially had a few errors while compiling, but re-ran it a few times and some of the files created (executables) and after a while the problems went away.

Now, however, I'm not entirely sure but either PtokaX is overwriting the cfg.pxt (Seems to very much so be the case when running the ./PtokaX), and if the service isn't stopped properly before changing it (file lock perhaps?)

However, initially I edited the file and added port 7878, but I was unable to enter this. I found that the cfg-file had been replaced several times, other and most of the times not.
When I then shrugged my shoulders and tried the default ports 1209 and 411 it just worked. Also saw something in a script file that the service had been allowed for ports below some 1xxx (thousand).

I'm no Linux expert, but also not born yesterday, still I'm at a loss here. Shouldn't I be able to use whichever port I want?
Should also point out that I've never used the Linux version before so the environment is still a bit alien compared to Windows, and I'm no real Linux enthusiast either, so my knowledge is somewhat limited, and usually Google helps compiling and fixing (some) errors or getting dumber by the line (of RTFM).

• Extract tar file and include source code in the repo
• Update the script to point out to personal ptokax-script repo instead of hit-hi-fit-hai repo and include updated script

Current method : Check subnet of lan and nmap to find the Pi
Needed : A script (? maybe which uses netcat on pi to broadcast its ip address on the broadcast address of the subnet and a netcat listener on another device).

Hit Hi Fit Hai scripts require mysql but raspberry pi uses mariadb.

POA

• To create a systemd script which does the following job:
  • The .py script - runs everytime on booting
    • Detects if the pi has access to internet on boot-up or not.
    • If yes -> do nothing. If no -> delete the lines for static ip configuration in dhcpcd.conf.
    • starts the setup script, which configures current ip as static and starts ptokax service if not already.
  • The .sh script - install dependencies and executes the .py script.
• Configure aliases instead of abstract path.
• New ptokax-setup.sh for new needs
  • Automate the argument requirements for the setup-script.
  • Fix the bug - if it's not handled already - BUG
  • Check for every task if they are handled before or not

Testing w/o LED

• ptokax-alias
• ptokax-config.sh
• ptokax-stop.sh
• ./ptokax-start.sh
• ./ptokax-setup.sh
• systemd
  • ptokax.service
  • ptokax-startup-service.sh
  • ptokax-network-check.py
    • Network Access Check
    • ptokax-setup.sh
• Improve script outputs from in script commands based on test runs.
• Check the -ne $pid part.. in ipofpi.sh & ptokax-setup.sh and one more.. if they work or not..
• setsid if it is available or not

LED

The goal is to..
Output logs into LED display with main focus on IP of PI- https://pypi.org/project/RPi.GPIO/.
For now it's POA has not been decided, but surely be done after w/o LED is deployment ready.

Why?

To make it plug and play job to setup DC++.

Need to test the static IP part of the setup script.

Proposal for a better alternative as there are new libraries like libp2p that are standardising p2p with good components. More discussion to follow in Discussions and projects.

Somehow displaying the current ip of pi on a LED display, so that the process becomes 100% plug-n-play (combining with #8 )
