 tulir | oh I guess the npm packages might not be in PATH by default | 18:55:54 |
| tulir | you can test by running electron directly
| 18:56:11 |
 bigmalletman | on macos, there's an electron icon on the dock while the bridge is running. | 18:58:11 |
 roc | Thanks. This is a Linux LXC | 18:58:48 |
| roc | This LXC is running as root and electron doesn’t like to run as root | 19:03:27 |
| roc | I needed to install some dependencies, which I’ve done.
Now, electron is noting that I X11 installed. Is that necessary to run the bridge? | 19:07:05 |
| roc | * I needed to install some dependencies, which I’ve done.
Now, electron is noting that I don’t have X11 installed. Is that necessary to run the bridge? | 19:07:18 |
| tulir | electron needs to be able to run | 19:11:24 |
| tulir | other than that no requirements | 19:11:30 |
| tulir | it might also work with something like puppeteer that's more headless, but I'm probably not going to implement other ways | 19:15:39 |
| roc | Would it be better to run this on my Mac mini? | 19:38:26 |
| roc | My hypervisor doesn’t have a GPU and Eletron is having a tough go | 19:38:48 |
 ampersandru | tried brew install electron and re-compiled the bridge, still getting error 429 | 19:39:21 |
| roc | * My hypervisor doesn’t have a GPU and Electron is having a tough go | 19:39:53 |
| bigmalletman | hmm... i used npm to install it on my mac mini 2014 | 19:44:11 |
| ampersandru | ill try that | 19:44:24 |
| bigmalletman | i'm also using node 14.21.3, because that's what works with the steam bridge... | 19:44:52 |
| bigmalletman | it's old, but whatever... | 19:45:08 |
| ampersandru | ok yep, installing electron via npm works with GV sending | 19:49:11 |
| roc | Ok. I just setup my GV bridges on my Mac using plists.
Will see if they run in general and then try to get Electron installed using NPM | 20:10:19 |
 adambloom | Is this in a good spot where I should try and install and run it or should I hold off for longer?
Seems like it's getting pretty close - does anyone have a sample config they could share? Not sure I'm following on what homeserver info to use if I want beeper to be the matrix relay? | 20:16:47 |
| tulir | running bridges with beeper is done using bbctl as always, there's no need to write a config | 20:47:36 |
| roc | I am getting the 429 error when trying to send | 20:52:24 |

I am getting the 429 error when trying to send youre running the bridge and npm electron on a mac now? | 20:52:45 |
| roc | Yes. I installed node using brew and electron using npm | 20:53:28 |
| roc | I do not see Electron in my dock, however. | 20:53:59 |
| ampersandru | when you type electron in terminal, does it launch | 20:54:10 |
| roc | Ahh. May have been my firewall | 20:54:18 |
| roc | Nope. That wasn’t it. | 20:58:13 |
| bigmalletman | In reply to @rollingonchrome:matrix.org
Yes. I installed node using brew and electron using npm my node was installed from the downloadable pkg because i needed an older version. | 21:04:18 |
