Label Printer

⚠️Warning: This is an active repo; expect breaking changes and use for reference only!⚠️

Wraps brother_ql in a Go server for remote operation. It is tightly coupled to AWS Parameter Store at the moment. I probably won't have time to help you with that if you get stuck!

Prerequisites

Podman sudo apt install podman
AWS credentials
A compatible printer (see brother_ql's README)

Install

Debian (Tested on Ubuntu)

Create the container definition in /etc/containers/systemd/label-printer-server.container

[Unit]
Description=Label Printer Server

[Container]
Image=ghcr.io/control-alt-repeat/label-printer/server:latest

Volume=/home/control-alt-repeat/.aws:/root/.aws:ro
Volume=/dev:/dev:slave

PodmanArgs=--privileged

[Service]
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target

Reload

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Add AWS credentials. On load, the server will add the dynamically generated hostname to AWS Parameter Store.
Start the service

sudo systemctl start label-printer-server.service

Check it's running

journalctl -xeu label-printer-server.service
