after “hundreds” (6 or 7) flawless installations of Screenly OSE and then being out of the game for some time, I wanted to fiddle around again and do my Screens myself.
Anthias Installation is far from the easiness of Screenly. And yes, I kind of know, what I am doing. At least I code quite “fluent” in Python and C++ (HA!).
Faced. Anthias did not install on the newest RaspOS lite or the Version before. Installing as an OS resulted in Anthias Splashscreen without any IP-Adresses.
Installing Screenly with both methods was a nobrainer. Since it is Anthias it’s a pain in the pi.
If your network is compromised by outside, the built-in authentication will help prevent unwanted access to the Anthias device.
The latest Raspberry PI OS Bookworm has many changes in the OS, so we are working on the support, you can see the updates here at https://github.com/Screenly/Anthias/pull/1836 , Please note, that this is a free and open-source project, your contribution is also highly encouraged.
Do you want Anthias to manage your network? This is recommended for most users because this adds features to manage your network. (Y/n)
If you are using only WiFi, then Press N as the network manager will update on the go and it will interrupt the connection if you are connected via SSH. If you are using ethernet then Press Y
3.Would you like to perform a full system upgrade as well?(Y/N)
It will do a system upgrade and it’s not mandatory, You can either choose Y or N depending on your internet bandwidth. I recommend using N for now and check.
Please check and let us now if you have any difficulty installing the software.
ah! I was thinking there was an additional step there that I didnt know about, I have passwords on all of my boards. thank you so much for this! you saved my project!
