Raspberry Pi

In this guide, you will deploy MyEMS onto Raspberry Pi.

Prerequisites

Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) A port of Debian Bookworm with the Raspberry Pi Desktop Released:2024-07-04

Clone Source Code

sudo apt install git

sudo apt install pip

sudo apt install ufw

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/myems/myems

Step 1 Database

Setup MySQL Server

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install mariadb-server

By default, MySQL is installed without any password set up meaning you can access the MySQL server without any authentication. Run the following command to begin the MySQL securing process.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Enter current password for root (enter for none): [Enter key or return key]
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] Y
Change the root password? [Y/n] Y
New password: !MyEMS1
Re-enter new password: !MyEMS1
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

Install database schema and scripts for MyEMS.

See Database

Step 2 myems-api

Install myems-api service:

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-api /myems-api

cd /myems-api

To prevent 'error: externally-managed-environment', create a virtual environment configuration folder:

sudo python -m venv venv

Start using the virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

Install the requirements

sudo venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Deactive the virtual environment

deactivate

Create .env file based on example.env and edit the .env file if needed:

sudo cp /myems-api/example.env /myems-api/.env

sudo nano /myems-api/.env

Change the gunicorn path in myems-api.service:

sudo nano /myems-api/myems-api.service

[Unit]
Description=myems-api daemon
Requires=myems-api.socket
After=network.target

[Service]
PIDFile=/run/myems-api/pid
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/myems-api
ExecStart=/myems-api/venv/bin/gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 --pid /run/myems-api/pid --timeout 600 --workers=4 app:api
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID
PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Add port to firewall:

sudo ufw allow 8000

Setup systemd configure files:

sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.service /lib/systemd/system/

sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.socket /lib/systemd/system/

sudo cp /myems-api/myems-api.conf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/

Next enable the services so that they autostart at boot:

sudo systemctl enable myems-api.socket

sudo systemctl enable myems-api.service

Start the services :

sudo systemctl start myems-api.socket

sudo systemctl start myems-api.service

Step 3 myems-admin

Install NGINX Server

refer to http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Debian

sudo apt install curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release debian-archive-keyring

curl https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

gpg --dry-run --quiet --no-keyring --import --import-options import-show /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] http://nginx.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` nginx" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

echo -e "Package: *\nPin: origin nginx.org\nPin: release o=nginx\nPin-Priority: 900\n" | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/99nginx

sudo apt update

sudo apt install nginx

Configure NGINX

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the 'http' section, add some directives:

http {
    client_header_timeout 600;
    client_max_body_size 512M;
    gzip on;
    gzip_min_length 512;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_types *;
    gzip_vary on;
    proxy_buffering off;

    ...
}

In the 'http' section, add a new 'server' section with directives as below:

  server {
      listen                 8001;
      server_name     myems-admin;
      location / {
          root    /var/www/myems-admin;
          index index.html index.htm;
      }
      ## To avoid CORS issue, use Nginx to proxy myems-api to path /api
      ## Add another location /api in 'server' and replace demo address http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with actual url
      location /api {
          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
          proxy_connect_timeout 75;
          proxy_read_timeout 600;
          send_timeout 600;
      }
  }

Install myems-admin :

sudo mkdir /var/www

sudo cp -r ~/myems/myems-admin  /var/www/myems-admin

sudo chmod 0755 -R /var/www/myems-admin

Check the config file and change it if necessary:

sudo nano /var/www/myems-admin/app/api.js

caution

The 'upload' folder is for user uploaded files. DO NOT delete/move/overwrite the 'upload' folder when you upgraded myems-admin.
