mei-singalong 😮🎤

web app to present salzinnes manuscript alongside recordings with karaoke-esque follow along.

set up 👷‍♀️🚧

overview: meisingalong is served locally with nginx and an iipimage server.

installation ⚙️🔧

install nginx with homebrew.

clone this repo.

git clone https://github.com/DDMAL/meisingalong.git

set up nginx server

replace <PATH-TO> in meisingalong.conf with absolute path to salzinnes-singalong. copy paste nginx config file (meisingalong.conf) into nginx server config folder (/usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/).

# cli option
cp <path-to>/meisingalong.conf /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/

things to consider: 🤔

homebrew will be located elsewhere for silicon macs.
if nginx server config folder doesn't exist, make it and make sure the main nginx.conf contains include servers/*; in the http scope.

start nginx server.

sudo nginx

set up iipimage server

run startup.sh script to set env variables and start the iipimage server on port 9000.

cd <path-to-folder>/iip
./startup.sh

leave server running.

rejoin large manuscript .tif files

because github has a 100mb file limit, the manuscripts were split into chunks to upload into the repo. run the python rejoin scripts to get them back together!

bash scripts/rejoin_manuscripts.sh

or... just load the manuscripts from a thumbdrive and place them in iip/images/singalong.

run

with iipimage and nginx servers up and running, open browser of choice and go to localhost:9001. enter full screen and hide tab bar and violà.

for chrome, hiding the tab bar is cmd ⌘ + shift ⇧ + F once in fullscreen.
