Easy install, and run? about web

[OishiiCha]

Hi, the easiest way to do it would be via Docker.

First install docker (docker desktop for mac and windows)

Then run the following for the current version to date.

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 --restart always --name Meshtastic-Web ghcr.io/meshtastic/web:8288b8c4fb42386b9e072773dc05a429b4527e58

Hopefully that helps.

@OishiiCha Thank you very much for your help! i will try this in the following days.
basically it make a "backup" of the site to run locally?

[OishiiCha]

@Miaoucat0 The devs have precompiled a docker version of the current site so if there are any updates to the site that you would like, you will have to run a new docker container.

@OishiiCha alright! thank you very much for your help.
i havent tried it yet, but is docker able to run the site Backup offline after the initial setup? that would be my main goal.

[OishiiCha]

Yes it will run without the use of internet, however I am yet to get the Bluetooth and serial to work, however Lan connections should work

[OishiiCha]

Just an update, was able to get serial and bluetooth to work, there are different versions ARM or X86:

How can you save the chat history (if this is even possible) with Docker?

I don't think you can save the chats on the web version (could be wrong), when you refresh the page it will clear the device off, so the device is only connected in the frontend, there is a repo for a desktop app, but there hasn't been recent development since September, if you are familiar in coding with Rust then you can give it a go. I haven't had it successfully use serial on that desktop app yet: https://github.com/meshtastic/network-management-client.
I did try making a deb file of it, but couldn't get it to work properly yet.
