Build from Source

Require GO 1.20 or above (See Instllation tutorial) and ffmpeg (Optional: wpa_supplicant or nmcli)

Run the following the command to build the system

git clone https://github.com/tobychui/arozos
cd ./arozos/src/
go mod tidy
go build
./arozos 
#sudo ./arozos for enabling hardware and WiFi management features

(Yes, it is that simple)

Install from Precompiled Binary

Linux (armv6 / v7, arm64 and amd64)

(e.g. Raspberry Pi 4B, Raspberry Pi Zero W, Orange Pi, $5 tiny VPS on lightsail or ramnode, only tested with Debian based Linux)

Install the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS / Armbian / Debian on an SD card / boot drive and boot it up. After setup and initialization is done, connect to it via SSH or use the Terminal App on your desktop to enter the following command

wget -O install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobychui/arozos/master/installer/install.sh && bash install.sh

and follow the on-screen instruction to setup your arozos system.

If you selected install to systemd service, you can check the status of the service using

sudo systemctl status arozos

Otherwise, you will need to manually start the arozos using the following command

cd ~/arozos
sudo ./arozos
# or if you have launcher installed
sudo ./launcher

After installation, depending on the processing power and disk speed of your host, it will take some time for arozos to unzip the required files. Wait around 3 - 5 minutes and visit the following link to continue root admin account setups.

http://{ip_address_of_your_host}:8080/

Note: If you are using some browsers that hides your user agents, you can manually switch between mobile and desktop interface with the following links.

To uninstall your ArozOS in case you screw something up, use the uninstall script in the installer folder.

Windows (amd64)

If you are deploying on Windows, you need to add ffmpeg to %PATH% environment variable and following the steps below.

Adding FFMPEG to %PATH%

Visit https://www.ffmpeg.org/ to download the precompiled binary to C:\ffmpeg. After unzipping, you should be able to find the binary ffmpeg.exe at C:\ffmpeg\bin.

Go to "System Properties" > "Environment Variables" > "System Variables" > "Edit" and add "C:\ffmpeg\bin" into the environment variable list. Save and Exit the tool windows and restart your PC to apply the new settings.

Installing ArozOS

  1. Create a folder a name that has no space and ASCII only
  2. Download the arozos_windows_amd64.exe from the Release Page
  3. Download the web.tar.gz from the Release Page
  4. Put both files into the same folder you created in step 1
  5. Double click the exe file to start ArozOS
  6. Click on "Allow Access" if your Windows Firewall blocked ArozOS from accessing your network
  7. Visit http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser to continue root admin account setups.

Some features are not available for Windows build

Windows arm64 version are experimental and not tested

OpenWRT (mipsle) / Linux (riscv64)

OpenWRT build and Linux RSICV64 is experimental and might contains weird bugs. If you are interested to test or maintain these builds, please contact me directly.

wget -O arozos {binary_path_from_release}
wget -O web.tar.gz {web.tar.gz_path_from_release}
chmod -x ./arozos
sudo ./arozos

ArozOS Launcher

Launcher is required for performing OTA updates in arozos so you don't need to ssh into your host every time you need to update ArozOS. You can install it via the installation script or install it manually. See more in the following repository.

https://github.com/aroz-online/launcher

Storage Configuration

Visit System Settings > Disk & Storage > Storage Pools and follow on screen instructions to setup your disk.

Here are some local disk only options. You can leave them out if you have already setup automatic disk mount in /etc/fstab

Here are some network disk only options

Credentials of your account on the remote server that you are trying to mount remotely

File Servers

If you want to share files from ArozOS, there are many ways you can do it.

WebApp Development
