local hosting guide

[chwunderpers]

Hi, I do have a mini computer available on which I would like to run this application separately. Is there any guide on how to host this application. What software, packages, etc are needed?

This project is a simple static web page, you can run it with any server of your choice + Google Chrome or Edge browser on Mac, Android, Windows or Linux.

If you are a programmer and you already have node.js and git on your setup you can just run those in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/dvmarinoff/Flux.git
cd Flux/
npm install
npm run start

One more thing, Web Bluetooth requires https, in case you wish to access the app from another machine (client), so you'd need to fix that for your particular setup.

@dvmarinoff the static web page you are referring to is the one which is hosted with you? In case I would like to host it locally, I always have to start the npm app.

this, should be the easiest way, but it is not required. Parcel is used here only to build some static resources and that's it. You can run the build command, npm run build, and then use only the contents of the /dist/ folder.

Hi! Thanks for your comment I could install node.js, clone your repo and use the "npm install and run start" commands. The web page is already running locally. Could you tell me whether I need to execute the "run start" command every time I restart my computer? Moreover, am I correct if I assume that the power consumption of such a small web server should be super low? I would let it run all the time.

Btw I love your web page and I would like to use it in my diagnostic lab for lactate step tests, I hope it is legally OK, please confirm.
Secondly, I think the old name "Flux" was much better and at the moment it is still better to search for flux in Google than for Auuki. I am not a marketing supermind but maybe an integration with interval.icu could win you more users and serve as an advertisement.

whether I need to execute the "run start" command every time I restart my computer?

Yes, you’d need to restart the project also. npm start or npm run start is the easiest way to do that.

power consumption

Yes, it’s negligible, it’s running all the time on my machine.

would like to use it in my diagnostic lab for lactate step tests, I hope it is legally OK, please confirm

Yes, it’s totally OK. The licensing of the project only requires that you make public any meaningful modifications to the code of the project. Otherwise you are free to use it anyway you like.

the old name "Flux" was much better

Maybe, but it was gonna get me into trouble with Garmin/Tacx, they have a trainer series named Flux. And also there are way too many other things in tech named Flux including some AI thing that seems to be popular. The new name is a made-up word from the Finnish word auki meaning open. Google search keeps correcting me about it too, and is showing me suzuki motor vehicles. Anyway being a computer programmer, usually means that creative naming has been drilled out of you, at least for the sake of your co-workers which are forced to reading your code on a regular bases.

integration with interval.icu

Yes, I agree. The integration is ready, but is currently being held up by other related features. Just to note, since interacting with third party services requires a separate web server, this feature won’t be available on localhost versions of the app. The UI is in fact done and published on the develop branch, but it just needs an intermediary web server and a database in order to communicate with intervals, strava and training peaks OAuth APIs. It’s just not technically feasible otherwise.

It may be possible in the future that intervals.icu is supported on localhost, but they are the only service that has http auth access, so it’s possible only for them, given some manual configuration by the User.

You can check some screenshots from the upcoming integrations here: #217 (comment)

Huge thanks for your reply! I wish you all the best for the future!
