IGEL App Creator Portal - Steps to build Simple-Scan

The App creator portal replaces Custom Partitions by using recipe to create OS 12 application that can be deployed from your UMS.

The IGEL Community provides a GitHub site with recipes.

This video will show the steps to take recipe from GitHub, use IGEL App creator portal to create application, and finally to add it to UMS and deploy to OS 12 device.

  • Demo Simple-Scan (native image / document scanner app)
  • Show GitHub recipe for Simple-Scan
  • Take simple_scan-community.zip and use in IGEL App Creator Portal
  • Download app
  • Download certificate
  • Setup in UMS
  • Deploy to OS 12 device

How to find and build a screen magnifier (KMag) app

This demo shows the steps to identify a screen magnifier app, how to download the app, how to find missing libraries, and finally creating the recipe that can be used in IGEL App Creator Portal.

Items used:

Quick recap

Ron discussed the installation process of KMag, a screen magnification application, on Debian Bookworm using ChatGPT for guidance and demonstrating how to run Docker containers on IGEL devices. He explained the steps involved in setting up a Debian bookworm environment, identifying and resolving missing shared libraries, and successfully running KMag with the necessary dependencies. Ron also demonstrated how to build a recipe for KMag, including capturing configuration settings and handling individual files, and discussed creating a custom installation for the KMag application.

Summary - KMag Installation on Debian Bookworm

Ron discussed installing KMag, a screen magnification application, on Debian Bookworm. He used ChatGPT to find installation instructions, which revealed that KMag is available in the official repositories. Ron planned to download KMag and examine its dependencies to determine if any additional libraries were needed for installation on IGEL.

Docker on IGEL Devices Demo

Ron demonstrated how to run Docker containers on IGEL devices using a created recipe, which involves spinning up a Debian Bookworm instance, downloading and extracting deb files, and copying the results back to the IGEL device. He showed how to identify missing shared libraries in the extracted KMag files using command ldd kmag | grep found, and explained how to use ChatGPT to find the necessary packages in Debian Bookworm to resolve these dependencies.

Debian KMag Setup Demonstration

Ron demonstrated setting up a Debian bookworm environment and successfully running KMag with the necessary libraries. He explained the process of collecting and configuring the required packages, setting the library path export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd), and verifying that all dependencies were correctly installed with ldd kmag | grep found returning no not found items.

KMag Recipe Configuration Demonstration

Ron demonstrated how to build a recipe for KMag, explaining the structure of the recipe files and the process of capturing configuration settings. He showed how to copy the settings from the user's home directory to a read-write area to prevent loss of configuration data when the system reboots. Ron also discussed the need to handle individual application configuration files within the recipe, requiring additional work compared to handling them as a directory.

KMEG Custom Installation Process

Ron explained the process of creating a custom installation for the KMEG application, which involves specifying the source files and excluding unnecessary programs. He described setting up a service to manage the kmagrc file and creating a symbolic link to it.
