efaLive project

This project contains the efaLive Debian package and most of the files and scripts that form the glue between the Debian system and the efa software in an efaLive system.

efaLive is a live CD (or RaspberryPi image) that runs the rowing and canoeing log book software efa on a Linux system in a so called KIOSK mode. This means that the system, where efaLive is started on, will directly boot into the efa software. So a user in front of the system can use the efa software only. There is no direct access to other software.

Binaries and documentation

For more information about efaLive, have a look to the efaLive documentation on my homepage. There you can also find efaLive CD images for download.

##Requirements The efaLive project consists mainly of Bash shell scripts, a small Python GUI for administratrive tasks and a Python daemon. To run the efaLive-Setup and daemon tool, you at least need the following packages:

Python 3
Poetry

To build the Debian package, you need to have dpkg-dev installed.

How to build

To build the debian package, there is a script for convenience:

build_deb.sh

Run efaLive setup and daemon

Change to the efalive project directory. There you can run efaLive setup by executing

Only once to set up the virtual environment:

poetry install

poetry run python efalivesetup.py ./tmp

This will start the efaLive setup tool and use ./tmp for the settings.

efaLive daemon can be started by

poetry run python efalivedaemon.py ~/.efalive start

The log file will be written to the current directory.

Run the tests

To run the tests execute

poetry run pytest
