LEDMatrix/scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Edit an installed Starlark app's config in Pixlet's own config UI.
#
# `pixlet serve` runs the app for real, so its form has working cascading
# dropdowns and option lists fetched live -- useful for an app whose choices
# only exist at runtime, or when you want to see the render change as you
# type. The LEDMatrix config form now reads the same runtime schema (see
# PixletRenderer.extract_schema_via_pixlet), so reach for this when you want
# Pixlet's live preview, not because the normal form is missing options.
#
# Deliberately a script you run and then Ctrl+C, not a service: it stops the
# display for the length of the session, and `pixlet serve` listens on a port
# with no authentication. Nothing here should be listening when you are not
# actually editing.
#
# Usage:
#   ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh            # list installed apps
#   ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh <app_id>   # edit
#
# Binds the LAN by default, matching the web interface, which already serves
# 0.0.0.0:5000 with no authentication -- anything that can reach this can
# already reconfigure the display there. `pixlet serve` has no authentication
# either, so treat both the same way: fine on a home network, not on an open
# one. Override the bind and the session length with:
#
#   PIXLET_EDITOR_HOST=127.0.0.1 ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh <app>
#   PIXLET_EDITOR_TIMEOUT=600    ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh <app>
#
# For loopback-only editing from another machine, forward the port instead:
#
#   ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 pi@ledpi.local
#
# The session always ends by itself after PIXLET_EDITOR_TIMEOUT seconds
# (default 30 minutes). The display is stopped while editing, so a session
# left open would otherwise leave the panel dark indefinitely -- the timeout
# is what makes it safe to start one from the web interface.
