Docker Container for hosting Nocturne

This repo contains the Docker Compose file as well as the Dockerfile for self-hosting Nocturne.

The version of Nocturne used will depend on what the latest commit is in the main branch for nocturne-ui when the latest commit of the repo was made. I'm not sure of a better way to do this lol sorry

How to run

Through Docker Compose

1. Copy the contents of docker-compose.yaml.
2. Open up a terminal and navigate to where you saved the file.
3. Run docker compose up.

Through Docker

1. Run docker pull ghcr.io/angelolz/nocturne-ui:latest in a terminal.
2. Run docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/angelolz/nocturne-ui:latest.

You can now access the page through http://localhost:3000. If you want to access it on the Car Thing, read ahead.

Access Nocturne on the Car Thing

1. If you're using a Raspberry Pi, SSH into it.
2. SSH into your Car Thing using ssh superbird@192.168.7.2. The password for it should be superbird.
3. Once inside your Car Thing, run nano /scripts/chromium_settings.sh
4. Edit the URL to your local address (not localhost). It should look like this:

# settings for /scripts/start_chromium.sh

URL="http://192.168.xx.xx:3000/"
SCALE="1.0"
#EXTRA_CHROMIUM_ARGS="--incognito"
EXTRA_CHROMIUM_ARGS=""
EXTRA_XORG_ARGS="-nocursor"

5. Press Ctrl-X to quit, Y to confirm saving, and Enter to save to the same file.
6. Run sudo reboot to reboot your Car Thing.
