How to install Screenly OSE Monitoring?

Monitoring can be installed as a stand-alone version on a Raspberry Pi or in parallel on a Raspberry Pi with a Screenly OSE Player installed.

Requirements

  1. Raspberry Pi 3B+
  2. 16GB microSD Card
  3. Raspbian Lite
  4. Flashing Tool (balenaEtcher)
  5. Screenly OSE
  6. Internet connection

Start the installation

Prepare Raspberry Pi

First of all you need to download the latest Raspbian Lite Image and flash this on the microSD Card with balenaEtcher. (Detailed manual)

[Pro TIP] Before you set the microSD Card into the Raspberry Pi create a file that called "ssh" (without double quotes) in the boot partition of the microSD Card. With this file the Raspbian Lite will set the SSH-Server as active.

Insert the microSD Card into your Raspberry Pi and connect them with the Power Supply. When the Raspberry Pi is ready you can connect via SSH to it.

Some special preparations:

  1. Change the user password with passwd command
  2. Preform a system update with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Screenly OSE on your Raspberry Pi with the command:

bash <(curl -sL https://www.screenly.io/install-ose.sh)

Answer the setup questions and the installation take a while...

After this step you can instal the Screenly OSE Monitoring with this command:

bash <(curl -sL https://git.io/fjg7h)

This step will also take a little time.

When it's ready you can reach the Screenly OSE Monitoring under the URL http://[screenly-ip-address]:9000
