The music situation in the Hub has gotten an update! Welcome to the new (super janky), improved (kinda slow), jukebox experience.

Get started by scanning the QR code with your phone and search for your favorite song! When multiple people add music to the queue, you can keep the party going! 💃

the jukebox software:

host site: https://jukebox.tracert.me  
git repo: https://git.devhack.net/tracert/webBubbler-jukebox
config: https://git.devhack.net/tracert/hub-media-server

The display on the Hub media server when things are going right.

some details:

This machine currently lives in the /dev/hack Hub room. With an old AMD A9 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of M.2 storage, it's kind of a slog to use. Once videos are loaded, though, it's not tooooooooo bad.

The OS of choice is NixOS and has basically nothing installed but the base packages, XFCE, and Firefox. Visit the config repo to push changes.

Feel free to install or modify the applications or settings, just please DOCUMENT ALL CHANGES HERE. The "devhack" account can be logged into with the password, "nevergonnagiveyouup".

the implementation:

startup

When the OS is started, the following is run from the "/home/devhack/.config/autostart/firefox-kiosk.desktop" file.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox Fullscreen
Exec=sh -c "firefox https://jukebox.tracert.me & sleep 10 && xdotool key F11"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

the hook-ups

The TV is hooked up over DisplayPort to an LG monitor. The monitor stand is very unstable and shouldn't be moved without supporting the bottom (UwU).

Networking is handled by WiFi to the "wlan0" network and is (mostly) fast enough. The system is hard wired to the amp. Unplug the audio cable and restart the amp if you want to use Bluetooth on the amp.
