Re: DueUI install not working in Standalone

Hello,

So, I'm attempting to setup DueUI just to mess around with it as I'd like to make some customizations to the DWC UI, as coming from the super customizable Octoprint, the "locked in" UI of DWC is getting to me.

With that being said, I'm trying to follow the installation instructions on the github wiki, as well as checkout a few of the other issues that have been raised, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Here's my setup. I'm running the "STM/LPC" variant of RepRap/DWC with an SKR Pro v1.2 and Raspberry Pi 4 running Duet 3.2. I'm not sure if that makes any difference, but I'm starting to think it does.

So, I downloaded the "DueUI-Standalone-v3.2.0.zip" from the Github page and uploaded it into my system folder thought DWC (http://"Duet_IP"/Files/System) with the "Upload System Files" button. I then went to the "http://dueui.org/v3/index.html" website to finish up the configuration, and entered my Pi IP address under "Duet hostname or IP address" and replaced the "dueui.org" portion of the URL under "DueUI config file URL" with my PI's IP address. I also added the "M586 C"*"" gcode to my config.g file to get around the CORs issue. I then click "save" and "refresh" and, when I go to http://"My_IP"/dueui.html it gives me the "Page Cannot Be Found" page, so something is obviously not working.

I have attached a screenshot of the http://dueui.org/v3/index.html page with the console tab open to show the errors it is showing. I know that a few of them are "common" as per the one of the other issues thread, but the top 2 I can't find solutions to.

Thanks in advance!!

running the STM/LPC variant shouldn't make a difference as on the STM32 port at least, the pi side of things is identical to the duet setup.

I would say that rr_status... isn't supported on the pi version of RRF.
it uses /machine/status instead.

maybe @gtj0 can confirm it works in SBC mode?

[Nathan116]

@jay_s_uk So I'd need to use the "DSF" version?

[jay_s_uk]

@Nathan116 yes. didn't realise there was a DSF version

[Nathan116]

@jay_s_uk Got it... Now I feel kinda dumb, lol

[jay_s_uk]

@Nathan116 dont worry. we all do it

[Nathan116]

Alright, so, I keep getting an error when I use the "wget https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/DueUI-DSF-x.x.x.zip" command, and I even replaced the x.x.x.zip part with 3.2.0.zip and it gave me the same "404 not found" error

[Nathan116]

Nevermind, I got it. The command on the github install page should be "wget https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/download/v3.2.0/DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip"

[jay_s_uk]

even this? https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/download/v3.2.0/DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip

[Nathan116]

@jay_s_uk Yeah, I decided to check the file link after posting the question...

How do I "unzip" the file now?

First, if you're using https://dueui.org/v3/index.html you don't need to install any software at all. You just need to enter the information on the settings screen, turn on polling, save, then refresh.

If you want to install the software locally so you don't need internet access, then continue:

Is 192.168.1.37 the address of the STM board or the Pi?

If it's the STM, you use the Standalone version. If it's the pi AND the STM is connected to the Pi via the SPI interface AND the Pi is running the Duet Software Framework, then you use the DSF version which you upload to the Pi and follow the instructions here...
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/wiki/Installation#install-dueui-on-the-sbc-running-the-duet-software-framework

If you have some other arrangement, let me know and we'll figure it out!

[Nathan116]

@gtj0 I've tried running it right off of the dueui.org sight and can't seem to get it to work. Regardless, I'd like the be able to run it locally, as it's not unusual for my internet to not work or be kinda slow, so being able to just connect over my local network would be optimal.

192.168.1.37 is the IP of the Pi. The STM board doesn't have an IP address. The Pi is what's running the Duet Software I believe ( @jay_s_uk ).

After figuring out I need to run the DSF version and not the standalone version, I ran the wget command (BTW, the wget command on the github page isn't correct, it gives you a "404 not found" error when you use it. It should be "wget https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/download/v3.2.0/DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip", well, atleast for the v3.2.0 version.) After that, I cd'd into the /opt/dsf/sd/www/ folder, but don't know how to unzip the file/folder as when i attempt the "unzip DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip" command it gives me a "cannot find or open DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip, DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip.zip or DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip.ZIP." error

[gtj0]

@Nathan116 What directory were you in when you did the wget? Wherever it was, the unzip command should be
unzip <directory>/DueUI-DSF-v3.2.0.zip

I'll fix the wiki page.

[jay_s_uk]

@Nathan116 navigate to the www folder then run wget. That will download it to the folder you're in. Then you can unzip it.

2 solutions to the same problem

[Nathan116]

When I cd into the /opt/dsf/sd/www/ and do the "wget https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/download/v3.2.0/DueUI-Standalone-v3.2.0.zip", it gives me a "Cannot write to ‘DueUI-Standalone-v3.2.0.zip’ (Permission denied)" error

[gtj0]

@Nathan116 What user are you logged in as? Everything under /opt/dsf is owned by the "dsf"user so you need to use "sudo" to save anything there.

[Nathan116]

OK, adding "Sudo" to the beginning fixed it.

So, I have it downloaded and extracted, but when I go to 192.168.1.37/dueui it just shows the standard DWC webpage, except now it just says "404 Page Not Found"

[gtj0]

Oy. I think the duet web server changed something again. Add index.html to the URL...
