KNoT Gateway Web UI is part of the KNoT Project. It provides an interface to configure the KNoT Gateway.
This is a single page application built on top of the MEAN stack plus some other operating system dependencies (e.g. DBus), that are used to communicate with the gateway components.
See the public folder for the frontend and the app folder for the backend.
This application is tighly connected with other gateway components, so that it can't run properly outside the target environment (a customized Raspberry Pi, see KNoT Gateway Buildroot).
To ease development, we provide a Docker container, but it still doesn't abstract the complete target environment. Make sure your code works in the target before submitting changes.
npm install
node server.js
The application can be accessed at http://<target-ip>:8080.
The container is based on solita/ubuntu-systemd due to the application's dependency on DBus. Before its first execution, follow the steps in the Setup section below.
docker-compose build
docker run --rm --privileged -v /:/host knot/webui setup
For more information on what it does, refer to the base container documentation.
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
It might take a few seconds for the application to be up. To check its status, run:
docker exec -ti webui systemctl status knot-web
Once it is running, it can be accessed at http://localhost:8080.
To bring the application down, run:
docker-compose down
