Linux

These are instructions on how to set up the Gumband OS Monitor on a linux host machine.

Setup

Download the Gumband OS Monitor file at the bottom of this page, and put in a place that is unlikely to be touched.
Create an exhibit in the Gumband UI, and get an exhibit token and id.
Add a .env file to the same directory that the gumband-os-monitor-linux-x64 file is and add the exhibit token and id from the previous step:
EXHIBIT_TOKEN=02b6903aece21b6sff520ac92dcba457 EXHIBIT_ID=1 # If the Gumband UI you're connecting to is not app.gumband.com, you'll # need to add two more environment variables here: # ENDPOINT=custom <----- indicates a custom IP # CUSTOM_IP=other.gmbnd.com <----- defines an endpoint that isn't app.gumband.com
Give the gumband-os-monitor-linux-x64 file execution permission with chmod +x gumband-os-monitor-linux-x64
Create a script to run the os monitor from systemd: vi startup.sh

#!/bin/sh

//This value may differ depending on the host machine
export DISPLAY=:0;

cd /path/to/gumband-os-monitor;
./gumband-os-monitor-linux-x64

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/systemd/user;
vi $HOME/.local/share/systemd/user/gumband-os-monitor.service

and edit the service to be:

Enable the daemon with: systemctl --user enable gumband-os-monitor.service
Ensure that scrot is installed (a linux, command-line screenshot application). Run which scrot to check if it is installed.

Reboot the PC. When it boots up, the OS Monitor should show as online in the Gumband UI:

The Gumband OS Monitor showing as “Online” in the Gumband UI. Note the online icon boxed in red.

Check that taking screenshots is functioning. Click the "Take Screenshot" button on the "Control" tab in Gumband. It should upload a screenshot to the "Files" tab.
Check that the reboot control is working. Click the "Reboot" button on the "Control” tab in Gumband. The host machine should reboot.
