Installation

Clone the git repository into any directory:

git clone https://github.com/pxsocs/warden_terminal

Install Requirements:

cd warden_terminal
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the app:

python3 node_warden.py

Optional if your node has a monitor attached and you want to force display to that monitor.

If you are running a RaspiBlitz, MyNode or Umbrel, and installing through SSH follow this steps.

Find out which is the primary display:

who -a

Should output something like:

admin@raspberrypi:~/warden_terminal $ who -a

           system boot  1970-01-01 01:00
pi       + tty1         2021-07-27 22:19 00:21        1097
           run-level 3  2021-07-27 22:19
admin    + pts/0        2021-07-28 14:55   .          7503 (192.168.1.123)

Take note of the system boot output. In the case above tty1.

Then run the below, replacing tty1 if needed:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/tty1

Edit the config.ini file and change the tty = /dev/tty line to tty = /dev/tty1 in this case:

nano config.ini

Save and close the file and run the program:

python3 node_warden.py &

FAQ:

Getting a message that Tor is not running

You need Tor Running for the app to work. Instructions here.

How to customize settings?

The config.ini file can be edited with:

nano config.ini

Including price of BTC in other dirty fiat terms

Edit the list below in config.ini to remove and/or include other currencies. fx_list = ['USD','EUR', 'GBP', 'CAD']

Changing the font for large price widget

You can change the large text font field large_text_font = standard used to display bitcoin's price. A list of available fonts can be found here.

Changing the Screen Size may help to display more data

When running on console (no GUI), decreasing the font size may lead to better viewing results. 6x12 runs really well on a 8 inch or bigger screen. Instructions here for Debian.
