Deploy

The backend doesn't support Windows platform currently. In this case, we use ubuntu-20.04 for example.

You need to install Python 3 and Nginx through the following command line

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip build-essential make wget nginx -y

Then install nvm which is a tool to switch nodejs version

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

And add the following line to your shell profile

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Install the latest Node.js

nvm install node

Now you can simply use make command to deploy XmediaCenter 2

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 777 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
make deploy
sudo service nginx restart

After that, you can use make runBackend to start a XmediaCenter 2 backend instance. Then, you can access http://[ip to your instance]:11452/ through the browser or use XmediaCenter 2 Desktop to access your XmediaCenter 2 instance.
