AmiFox AREXX and parameter

Posted by ALB42 on 15. April 2023

Introducing AREXX commands for AmiFox, so you can send a URL to AmiFox to view. If the Browser is idle it will directly start to load the new URL. If still loading another URL it will remember the URL and start it after the current one is finished loading, maybe later also stop the current task, atm its easier that way.

Wit this new AREXX command of course one can use an AREXX script but even better you can use programs like openurl to directly send urls to your favourite Web-browser… or AmiFox 😀

AmiFox-Server for RasPi

Posted by ALB42 on 1. April 2023

To check if the releases of AmiFox Server work I tried that on a RasPi, fresh install, the only thing you need to install is the Chromium-browser and start the WRP.
sudo apt install chromium-browser
wget https://github.com/alb42/wrp/releases/download/v0.3/wrp-arm-linux
chmod a+x wrp-arm-linux
./wrp-arm-linux

AmiFox-Server for everyone

Posted by ALB42 on 1. April 2023

The AmiFox Server can already be used via docker container with everything you need installed, but this works atm only for x64 linux with docker installed. But the original WRP was already prepared to cross compile to multiple targets, so I made a release with all the platforms available which includes, Windows, Mac or Linux on a RasPi, there you can start the apps directly. You might need some additional packages though, for example a current Google Chrome / Chromium Browser browser must be installed.
