tobychui / Arozos

IMPORTANT NOTES

The current arozos is still under intense development. System structure might change at any time. Please only develop on the current existing ArOZ Gateway Interface (AGI) JavaScript Interface or standard HTML webapps with ao_module.js endpoints.

Installation

Require GO 1.14 or above

Run the following the command to build the system

git clone https://github.com/tobychui/arozos
cd ./arozos/src/
go build

(Yes, it is that simple)

Deploy

For Raspberry Pi (For Raspberry Pi 4B+)

If you are using Raspberry Pi as your host, you can download one of the images and flash the image into your SD card. You will find a new network device named "ArozOS (ARxxx)" pop up in your "Network Neighbourhood". Double click the icon and you will be redirect to the system Web setup interface.

Yes, the download site is in Russia. No, I am not Russian, I use this site because they offer 80GB of storage for free All the image listed above require 8GB or above microSD card

To optain the .img file, you can unzip the compressed image using 7zip. If you don't have it, you can get it here

For other ARM SBC(e.g. Orange Pi / Banana Pi / Friendly ARM's Pis)

Download the correct architecture binary from the "release" tab and upload the binary with the "web" and "system" folder in "/src". After upload, you should have the following file structure

$ ls
aroz_online_linux_arm64  web  system

Start the binary by calling sudo ./aroz_online_linux_arm64 (or without sudo if you prefer no hardware management)

Windows

If you are deploying on Windows, you need to add ffmpeg to %PATH% environment variable.

This system can be built and run on Windows hosts with the following build instructions

# Download the whole repo as zip and cd into it
cd .\arozos\src\
go build
arozos.exe

However, not all features are available for Windows.

Docker

Thanks Saren for creating this amazing DockerFile

//Start aroz online in demo mode
./aroz_online -demo_mode=true

//Use https instead of http 
./aroz_online -tls=true -key mykey.key -cert mycert.crt

//Change max upload size to 25MB
./aroz_online -max_upload_size 25

Storage Configuration

Deploying Single Machine

If you are deploying single machine, you can visit System Setting > Disk & Storage > Storage Pools and edit the "system" storage pool for setting up the global storage pools for all users in the system.

Deploying on Multiple Machines

If you are deploying on multiple machines, you can take a look at the storage configuration file located in:

src/system/storage.json.example

Rename the storage.json.example to storage.json and start arozos. The required virtual storage drives will be mounted accordingly.

ArOZ JavaScript Gateway Interface / Plugin Loader

The ArOZ AJGI / AGI interface provide a javascript programmable interface for ArOZ Online users to create plugin for the system. To initiate the module, you can place a "init.agi" file in the web directory of the module (also named the module root). See more details in the .
