Headless mode

[Tienisto]

Run this app without a GUI.

localsend --headless

If a third party develops a command line version, will the official accept it (transfer to official org)

I plan to develop a command line version with golang, provides non-interaction and interaction (TUI)

As the protocol is open source, you are free to contribue your own solution!

localsend-go could be included under the localsend umbrella.

在没有 GUI 的情况下运行此应用。

localsend --headless

How do I use this command on the Flathub version of Ubuntu？

This issue is still open because this feature has not been implemented yet.

Does this mean that I cannot start localsend via ssh? Even if I have set up automatic reception and do not need to send files.

[Tienisto]

Yes, you cannot do that in this version. The server will need a GUI.

found https://github.com/notjedi/localsend-rs which is partially implemented :)

I could not get it to build unfortunately. Apparently receiving files is already possible on the headless machine.

I have made some preparations for an official CLI implementation (like separating the code into app, common, cli) but it will take a while. Maybe end of this year, I cannot tell as it depends on how much free time I have.

I believe that dedicated binary like

localsend-cli

would be better solution: neither GUI dependencies (GTK, xwindows, etc ) shouldn't use for building onto headless host.

[Tienisto]

@iDoka Yes, this would be a separate binary

https://github.com/zpp0196/localsend-rs here's a simple rust cli implementation, how about this solution?

[danktankk]

I am definitely interested in a cli version as well

[Git-Vi]

same here, really look forward to get docker container or headless version
