Nice job man. I may wait a few more weeks for a slow weekend (and also to see if Matt & co. offer any condolences/advice for us).
One thing I think is worth noting since I’m seeing this on Reddit too—I think people genuinely would be willing to pay you $1-$2/month to host the server and allow them to connect, which may be successful if you make it easy as possible for them to connect.
I was thinking about this a bit more. I wonder if @Matt and team would be willing to turn over the “keys to the castle” in terms of pointing the DNS records to some server you have running that way people don’t need to flash their devices? Not sure what endpoint they request the webp’s from.
I don’t think I’d want that responsibility . . . Maybe a small firmware update to allow that to be a settable option.
Awesome work Travis - I flashed a gen2 and installed the sever/Docker on a Pi 5 and it worked!
I will have a go at flashing one of my gen1 units soon.
Awesome ! Glad it’s working. It’s in pretty active development right now so I’m glad you got a working version :). I’ll be doing more responsible commits just to development from now on 
(and writing some tests even !)
This evening when going into the web UI and Tronbyt Manager, then clicking Add app, there’s no longer an extensive library of apps to choose from - just a blank template for creating your own. Have tried restarting the docker and Pi itself.
Any thoughts on what has caused this?
Can you post a screenshot ? Are you sure your not on the upload page ? I can’t think of a reason that page would be blank unless maybe the pi filesystem got corrupted maybe.
There has been quite a lot of development lately but I don’t think you would have updated the the code right ?
Here’s the screen shot when I click add app, plus one of the admin repo setting, which I guess may be the cause:
I re-ran:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up -d --build
and the repo entry above was cleared and the apps have come back!
So, could I simply have removed the repo entry or did I need to re run the compose command to restore the app server apps?
Thx
tronbyt-server is not the apps repo so I don’t know how that got in there. If that happens again try putting in tavdog/tronbyt-apps and clicking save and it should reinstall all the apps.
tronbyt-server is working fine now, thanks. A couple of queries:
A few apps I’ve tried adding that have Locality and Timezone settings (E.g. clock by Henry and solar elevation) do not keep appear to keep any changes after you have saved and when you go back into configure - they have reverted back to Brooklyn/NY and America/NY.
On Home Assistant using TidbytAssistant, is is possible to have tronbyt and tidbyt devices running concurrently - this would require two base urls (tidbyt’s and your local tronbyt server) being set in the add-on configuration?
The tidbytassistant author has already made some changes to allow for it to push images to tronbyt server. It should work fine in the near future.
