Shot Core

What is Shot Core?

Shot Core Open Hardware Project

Getting Started

System Requirements

• node
• ffmpeg

Setup

npm install
sqlite3 dev.sqlite3 < db/schema.sql
node ./server

node ./server starts the web UI listening at http://localhost:4000. Attempts to connect to the default Z Cam address (10.98.33.1).

On macOS, you can then seed a test project on the server by running (in another terminal):

scripts/seed

Environment vars:

• ZCAM: address of Z Cam, default 10.98.33.1
• PORT: Shot Core server port, default 8000 (proxied through browser-sync to 4000)
• DEBUG: configure debug library logging. DEBUG=shotcore:* to view Shot Core specific logs.
• UPLOADS_PATH: path to media on the filesystem, which will be served from /uploads. Media includes the Storyboarder project files and images, as well as takes downloaded from the camera. Useful for storing all media on a NAS. If blank, defaults to ./public/uploads.

If you don’t have access to a Z Cam, you can run the Z Cam Mock Server, which will listen locally, and start the Shot Core server with:

DEBUG=shotcore:* ZCAM=127.0.0.1 node ./server

To append the output to a log file:

node ./server 2>&1 | tee -a shotcore-log.txt
