# System status webserver

This is a snappy demo package that shows how to build and package a minimalistic
webserver that displays the system status using golang for snappy. This package
is multi-architecture enabled.

Currently it uses Linux Dash (https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash), the
source of which can also be found in Launchpad
(https://launchpad.net/~vthompson/+junk/system-status/).

To build for both amd64 and armhf, on an amd64 host, create the binaries in the
architecture dependent directories. the magic-bin/system-status-webserver launch
script will do the magic to find the right architecture and launch the right
binary.

To build simply do this:

 # change to the x86_64 directory and build the binary...
 1. cd magic-bin/x86_64-linux-gnu
 2. go build ../../

 # switch to the armhf directory and build for ARM
 3. cd ../arm-linux-gnueabihf
 4. GOARCH=arm go build ../../

 NOTE: You may need to bootstrap your go installation using the following
       command in the go source directory:
 sudo GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm ./make.bash --no-clean

 # go to top level dir and build the snapp
 5. cd ../../
 6. snappy build .

This produces a snappy package for you that you can try on your snappy system.

Have fun!
