Set up your Raspberry Pi device with balenaOS in production mode and bring it online on the balenaCloud dashboard by following the getting started guide.
-
Open a terminal on your local computer and type:
# clone repository git clone https://github.com/bernhardfritz/pytunes.git # change directory cd pytunes # generate database password cp .env.template .env && echo "$(date | md5sum | head -c 32)" >> .env # register first user htpasswd -c .htpasswd <username> # register another user # htpasswd .htpasswd <another username> # deploy to balenaCloud balena push <fleet name>
