armhf-alexa-docker

Alexa voice control Docker file for armhv (e.g. rpi3) based on ubuntu linux.

The steps are incomplete.

Register for an Amazon developer account

Please follow instructions at https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app/wiki/Raspberry-Pi

Build your own image

$ git clone https://github.com/torbenbrodt/armhf-alexa-docker.git
$ cd armhf-alexa-docker
$ docker build -t torbenbrodt/armhf-alexa .

To complete your own image

Go into bash mode

$ docker run -ti torbenbrodt/armhf-alexa /bin/bash

Change the IDs and secrets to the ones you got from the Amazon registration.

sed -ie 's/=YOUR_PRODUCT_ID_HERE/=raspi3_01/g' /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/automated_install.sh
sed -ie 's/=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE/=amzn1.application-XXX/g' /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/automated_install.sh
sed -ie 's/=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE/=XXX/g' /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/automated_install.sh

And then start the compilation

$ . /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/automated_install.sh

Afterwards commit your changes

# docker ps
# docker commit <CONTAINER-ID> torbenbrodt/armhf-alexa

To run the demo, do the following in 3 seperate terminals:

Run the companion service: cd /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/companionService && npm start
Run the AVS Java Client: cd /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/javaclient && mvn exec:exec
Run the wake word agent: 
  Sensory: cd /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/wakeWordAgent/src && ./wakeWordAgent -e sensory
  KITT_AI: cd /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/wakeWordAgent/src && ./wakeWordAgent -e kitt_ai
  GPIO: PLEASE NOTE -- If using this option, run the wake word agent as sudo:
  cd /root/alexa-avs-sample-app/samples/wakeWordAgent/src && sudo ./wakeWordAgent -e gpio

You will end up with a Headless Exception

Unfortunately the current version of Alexa needs a browser to do oauth authenticiation. This could be achieved with a VNC server, but still it requires a new authentication after every restart.

The current Docker container cannot be used!

We all hope there will be command line version soon. Please follow https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app/issues/143
