Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
Because the ngrok v2 downloads were causing SSL-cert errors in China, I've *updated *the easy-setup procedure to make use of v3 for all platforms. For linux-variants, the .zip format has been dropped in favour of .tgz. The installer handles this change automatically. The .yml file is slightly different so you cannot just swap the binaries between v2 and v3 or it will break. The installer creates the correct .yml format for use with v3. If you already have ngrok running smoothly for years then there's no need to change anything as this is only for new installs. Let me know if there are any issues. philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113966 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It needs your system to have an interpreter installed to run it. If you are comfortable using ssh to access your nas then you could try running the ngrok executable manually / interactively just to see if it works. If it does then we can point you to configuring it. All the script does is download it and then configure it with the required parameters.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
The easy-installer script now has a pulldown/selector which includes *MacOS* (both Intel and ARM64 variants) to setup ngrok to run as a daemon on a Mac. The setup.sh file that will be downloaded from the configurator needs to be run from a Terminal. Hope that's not too scary for Mac users :rolleyes: The online instructions have been updated accordingly. If you already have ngrok running on some other platform and just want to play with this, select a different ngrok region code to your current install or you'll get an error that you cannot run more than one instance of ngrok while on the free plan.

But as Im not a pCP guru I dont know what the permissions and ownership on that directory normally are. Maybe ask over at the pCP forum.

Try not doing pcp br after issuing the command and run the setup script immediately while things are still owned by tc:staff. Many people use sudo for just about everything but any files handled when a script is run with sudo wil subsequently be owned by root.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
Hi, Thanks for your swift reply. I think it is a permissions issue. I don't recall changing the permissions for /opt/bootlocal.sh, but I do recall having permissions issues for the display control script, and maybe the sqlite control script too. I started with a standard pcp installation, so I'm unsure why I seem to get permission issues. Unfortunately I'm too stupid to work them out myself, so if you could help me with the actual code to copy and paste it would be most helpful. Here's the likely problem from the script rerun - Code: --> Adding autostart entry to /opt/bootlocal.sh sed: can't create temp file '/opt/bootlocal.shfdHyWV': Permission denied sed: can't create temp file '/opt/bootlocal.shnvI1x3': Permission denied sed: can't create temp file '/opt/bootlocal.shlgWw98': Permission denied --> Creating ngrok.yml in /home/tc/.ngrok2/ for tunnel [SqDisplayLMSTunnel] --> Backing up changes using pcp bu.

setup.sh should have added a single line to bootlocal.sh - maybe it did
but the final pcp bu step failed? Run setup.sh again and watch for any
error messages. When it completes, do a pcp bu yourself. Any error?
If that fails, the correct entry is
/bin/sh /home/tc/ngrok_startup.sh
But you should try to understand why the setup process failed. Did you
change permissions or ownership in the past?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
Amazon is trying to make skill setup and account-linking easier, and a while back they introduced so-called *app-to-app* account linking. The idea is that you don't have to visit the Alexa app or web-portal to perform account-linking, but instead can do it from the app or website of the skill author. I now have it live for both skills and links are available in the online setup-help pages that will automatically perform account-linking for you. There's no more need to paste your ngrok URL and chosen credentials into the landing page at the Alexa portal. Instead you will log in to your regular Amazon account (if you still have a valid cookie from the last time you logged in then you won't even need to do this) and authorize Amazon to link the skill(s) in question by just clicking on a pop-up. It's a complicated flow under the hood with 3 different bouts of oauth2 to-and-fro-ing but it's very secure and worked well in my testing. MediaServer has now been upgraded to use full authorization code grant instead of implicit tokens (LMS-lite already had that). If you encounter any problems, please report them here as I will not see anything in the skill logs to indicate failed attempts. This is as easy as skill setup will ever get until Amazon releases the promised capability to use an Echo as a native proxy device inside your LAN (announced last Sept as 'coming soon') :cool: 34110 +---+ |Filename: apptoapp.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34110| +---+ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113966 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
The requirement to manually run the updater script AFTER linking the skills has now been relaxed, as your uuid is already in the setup script when you download it. This means that setup is now a *single-pass* process and no restart of e.g. pCP is required (thanks @chill !). On Windows 10, the desktop shortcut is no longer created or necessary. All this magic will only work in modern browsers with -localStorage- enabled and functioning.

Just installed and it works like a charm. Much easier set up! Thanks very much. FYI - I had to do it twice. The 1st time, I didn't start the install from pi/home and when I restarted Max2Play it didn't work anymore. Cheers!

Thanks... Good idea. I've placed them at https://smartskills.tech/lmslitesetup/setuphelp-old.html That said, if you're already set up then there's no need to change a working installation just for the sake of it. The new procedure does not do anything 'better' than the old way, it's just scripted instead of manual.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Easy ngrok-setup for MediaServer & LMS-lite Alexa skills
33418 There's a new ::*completely-automated*:: setup procedure for deploying ngrok for use with the MediaServer and LMS-lite skills. It automatically downloads/configures ngrok and also sets it up to autostart at boot on the target system. Your account-linking UUID is automagically deployed to update the skill(s) when tunnel details change (i.e. upon ngrok restart or system reboot). There's no more manually creating systemd services or tweaking Python/Perl updaters because the installer handles -everything- :cool: To make it as easy to use as possible, the user visits a web form (see above) and enters details which are then pre-populated into a downloaded installer script. Your choice of *platform/OS* in the form not only determines what version of the ngrok binary to download for you, it also results in a script that matches the *native capabilities* of the target platform/OS so there are no dependencies to install. The process is currently available for: * *pCP*: with a -sh- script as installer that builds a tcz package and adds an entry to /opt/bootlocal.sh for autostart. * *Debian-Linuxes*: with a -bash- script as installer for distros like Raspberry Pi OS, Max2Play, Ubuntu - it uses systemd to daemonize ngrok. * *Windows10*: with a -PowerShell- script as installer that runs ngrok as a hidden background process at boot. The old Python/Perl script for updating tunnel details to the skills has been superseded by a native sh/bash/pwsh script that the installer creates on your system. The process is fully documented in the new *instructions* at https://smartskills.tech/lmslitesetup (one installer handles both skills). When filled out, the form might look as follows: 33419 For noobs evaluating the skills, the recommended platform is probably now Windows 10. There's no need to use ssh to transfer the installer to a headless machine - it's just right-click and run. Remember, ngrok on a PC will happily proxy for a NAS or pi elsewhere in your LAN. Many thanks to @chill for the pioneering work on the pCP platform script ! p.s.
