Single binary, minimalistic fork

[michaloo]

Hi @izivkov and others!

Thank you for this amazing project. I own Casio Protrek PRT-B50 and recently stopped using their official mobile app. This script worked great so far, and now I would like to deploy it to a minimal Raspberry Pi Zero W setup. I would like build this project into a single file executable binary that will work in a headless mode started by systemd.

I will either try to use https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer or port minimal version of this script into other language that I know better for the single binary deployments like golang or JS with bunjs.
If I come up with any valuable addition to the project itself I will definitely share here.

OK, great! If you can create a single executable this would greatly facilitate installing the the server. I hope you can contribute your work back to the projects so others can benefit as well.

Now, there are some dependencies on Linux libraries outside of the Python dependencies, like:

    python3-pip python3-venv zip unzip \
    libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libopenjp2-7-dev \
    libtiff5-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python3-tk

This is why I have setup scripts. So I think some of the scripts are still needed, So let us know how you handle these when you get there.

Also, have you seen this project I just released? It allows you to run the server on a tiny $3 headless device.Or a $20 device with a display.

Regards,
Ivo

Thank you @izivkov, listing those dependencies is really helpful. Definitely I will try to contribute back with my work.

I saw the ESP32 based project, this looks really cool, especially your YT video. I didn't know this device before, I was only intro Raspberry Pi as I was never deep into hardware, only software.

Ok, perfect. Take a look at the setup scripts for the server project. Basically, staring with a newlly created pi image, they configure it to work with pi and pi zero. There is quite a bit of confirmation that needs to be done, especially if you are using a display. I didn't know anything about the esp32 about a month ago either. There is no hardware knowledge required, but they use Micro-python, which is a somewhat different environment, so there is porting required. Ok, please keep me posted on your project. Cheers.
