Installing Bsimep on EndeavourOS Latest

Bsimep is a simple web interface for working with binary streams. It supports parsing and editing binary streams in various formats. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Bsimep on EndeavourOS Latest using Github.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure you have the following:

  • EndeavourOS Latest installed.
  • Basic knowledge of Linux command line.
  • Git installed on EndeavourOS. If not installed, run this command sudo pacman -S git.

Step 1: Clone the Bsimep repository

To clone the Bsimep repository from Github, run the following command on your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/akrylysov/bsimp.git

This command will create a copy of the Bsimep repository on your machine.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Bsimep requires some dependencies to run smoothly. To install the dependencies on EndeavourOS, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git nginx fcgiwrap python-pip
sudo pip install bottle

Step 3: Configure Nginx

Next, we will configure Nginx to serve as a proxy server for Bsimep. Open the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf using your preferred text editor and perform the following:

  1. Add this line to the http section:

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    
  2. Create a new configuration file in the directory /etc/nginx/conf.d/.

    sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/bsimp.conf
    
  3. Add the following configuration to the file:

    server {
            listen   80;
            server_name  yourdomain.com;
            access_log  /var/log/nginx/bsimp/access.log;
    
            location / {
                    root   /path/to/bsimp;
                    index  index.html;
            }
    
            location /api/ {
                    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9001;
            }
    
            location /stream/ {
                    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9002;
                    proxy_http_version 1.1;
                    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                    proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
            }
    
            error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
            location = /50x.html {
                    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
            }
    }
    

    Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name and /path/to/bsimp with the actual path to the Bsimep directory.

Step 4: Run Bsimep

Run the following commands in your terminal to start the Bsimep API server and the binary stream server:

cd bsimp
python bsimp.py serve-api --port=9001 &
python bsimp.py serve-stream --port=9002 &

You should see the following output:

Serving on http://127.0.0.1:9001/
Serving on http://127.0.0.1:9002/

Step 5: Access Bsimep

Access Bsimep by entering http://yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name) in your web browser. You should see the Bsimep web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bsimep on EndeavourOS Latest!
