To allow you a quick start on the device-side of your remote service application using MindSphere, this repository contains some helpful information in order to setup your clients.
- Access to MindSphere Remote Service App
- Debian based device which should be connected via MindSphere Remote Service
To use the MRS client on a Debian based system, download the respective client from your MRS app on MindSphere as shown in the documentation. Next, store the client on the device and then start the service. The following step-by-step guide will help you doing so.
- On your device, browse to directory where the MRS-Client .tar.gz file is located
- Expand the archive-file (=unzip and extract)
- unzip via
gunzip <your-client-download-file>.tar.gz - extract the .tar file using
tar -xf <your-client-download-file>.tar
- unzip via
- Change access rights to the mrs-client using if needed
sudo chmod +x mrs-client - Start the client using
sudo ./mrs-client - After the client is running, you need to accept the terms using
y(es), then the following screen should occur.
NOTE: By default, the device client does not have an autostart function enabled. Meaning everytime the device is e.g. restarted, the client needs to be started manually again. To change this behaviou, follow herebelow described setup.
Optional: Enable autostart To make the client run automatically, e.g. after a power-out of the device, a service needs to be registered in Debian for this. Please note that this mechanism is not formally supported but a community contribution. For production usage, no liabiltiy is taken, neither support provided. Consulting of a skilled Debian developer is highly recommended and the guide below just serves as helper.
- copy the MRS_autostart_installer to the directoy of the unzipped MRS device client.
- change access rights with
sudo chmod +x setup.shand run the installer using./setup.sh
You should then find the client in the list of services of you system.
To check the service locally on the device and see if the MRS-Service is still running, you can view the system-services running systemctl status mrs-client
To uninstall/disable autostart, simply run MRS_autostart_uninstaller from the directory where you previously executed the ./setup.sh from.
... to follow later
Successfull installation/or running of the client can also be checked easily right on MindSphere using the online-status indicator in the MRS application.
Next you can add desired remote protocol applications (e.g. SSH/RDP/VNC/...) or utilize the file-share option for your remote device through the MindSphere app.
