Any possibility to start qlcplus as pure daemon for webaccess

diju · Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:49 pm

Hi *,

im trying to get QLC+ running as a daemon that offers simple webaccess.
But everytime i try to start it like:

qlcplus -n

qlcplus -n -w

qlcplus -m -n -w

it starts to load the GUI and needs a display. This for sure is not allowed when i try to run it as a daemon.

Does anyone else got this problem or has a solution to run qlcplus automaticly after startup and enables webaccess.

Best Regards,
Dirk

Hey,

I guess one of these threads will help you:

Or use Xvfb and don't bother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb
We use that a lot on CI servers (e.g. https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/b ... is.yml#L80)

Oh, I guess you're talking about Linux, but you didn't say...

Thanks for your fast reply.

Actually xvfb could be a good workaround, thanks. Was not aware of the naming "headless", so i didnt find the right posts here. Sorry for that.
But in addition: I run it on a raspberry pi zero w and like to have as less overhead as possible and i think xvfb will have some unnecessary overhead.
I compiled qlcplus by my own on a minimal raspian stretch downloaded 4 days ago.
I also read already some times about a special rpi image but, where can i see the special modification ? Are they available only after donation? Do these modifications infer QT, so that QT need to be recompiled too?
