Template

The T&L Node Console is a responsive HTML5 website built from a HTML5 Boilerplate template. The template was customizied with these H5BP Options:

• IE Classes
• Old browser warning
• Favicon
• Apple and Windows Icons
• Bootstrap

These H5BP Options were omitted because the T&L Console is intended for internal home use only and these don’t make sense if the website is not generally accessible:

• Google Analytics
• .htaccess
• plugins.js
• Robots.txt
• Humans.txt
• Adobe Cross Domain
• 404 Page

Additions

The javascript MQTT client is from paho.

The basis for the real-time gauges is JustGage

Installation and setup

These instructions work for Ubuntu and assume that a working Apache2 HTTP server has been configured:

1. Clone the repository Note: the directory you clone into must be accessible by the user that is used to run the Apache2 server. On Ubuntu this is typically www-data.

2. Copy the TLnodeConsole.conf file to /etc/apache2/sites-available/

3. Modify the /etc/apache2/sites-available/TLnodeConsole.conf file:
   • Replace XXX_FULL_PATH_TO_TLnodeConsole_html (two places) with the full path to the html/ directory.

4. Set your MQTT configuration by copying the XXXX file to XXXX and modify the values as appropriate for your network.

5. Enable the new site:

$ sudo a2ensite TLnodeConsole

The TLnodeConsole web site should now be available at http://localhost:8888/.
