I ...... i am still a little hesitant to enter my wifi password, add it to my network to use the web UI as i could not find the sources and build script for the distributed image......
.......The kind of abandoned samplerbox fork by alexmacrea has this shell script to build the ISO image yourself.
Have i just looked in the wrong places or is there a reason why I can't find something similar to build the image myself in https://github.com/hansehv/SamplerBox/tree/master ?.......
....
I think it's important for all open source projects to include all the sources to create the "final" product so e.g. if the project may be abandoned in the future or the author is unavailable other people could easily continue or fork it.......
Hi David,
Thanks for your kind words...
As for your questions and remarks:
The wifi connection to home network is the standard linux one, You can see in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf a symbolic link to the networks.txt in the config area on the windows accessible part of the SD. Switching between hotspot=access mode and client mode is done in the autohotspot.sh in the /home/pi subdir.
Rest of "github missing sources" is in pi's homedir as well.
Adapted rtmidi2 and python-midi are repositories in my github account.
There is no script for building (yet). I built it step by step manually and kept notes. This will have to be done in near future as debian buster is running out of support and I'm not sure that this SB version can run on PI5.
BTW: Alex's fork is different from mine (and also later..), so I didn't abandon that; in that time I just cloned & updated Joseph's build - easy to reproduce in that stage..
Your point is valid (thanks), so once I get to upgrading I will publish the next version installation notes, the sources in the pi homedir and changes for the systemctl services.
And ofcourse I would surely appreciate and welcome a build script as a push request.
My focus is the function of the box - I built it for own use, which is still the case.
Regards, Hans
