This project is on hold for the time being.. For more information see: https://sequentialread.com/the-pragmatic-path-4-year-update-introducing-greenhouse/

Seedpacket is the user-facing cross-platform desktop application for server.garden.

npm install

because of https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules

then you also have to run

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

finally you can run the app with

npm start

Right now only the Backblaze object storage & Armbian image on the Odroid XU4 is working

The seed file format is currently changing every day so expect to have to re-create your seed or face bugs

about electron

Seedpacket is initially being written as an Electron-based app for a couple reasons:

• The Balena Etcher open source project is also built with electron. While it may be overbloated and truely corporate owned software, it is also one of the most reliable and easy-to-build cross platform disk-image flashing tools in existence. Seedpacket also has to be able to flash disk images. This allows us to re-use parts from Balena Etcher without too much work.

• Writing the user interface in HTML/JavaScript allows the UI Components to be more easily moved to other applications and paradigms like web services and mobile applications.

how to deal with NODE_MODULE_VERSION error (native modules node.js version different from electrons node.js version)

# Every time you run "npm install", run this:
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
