Web Server

[Chessfriend]

Hi friends,

How do I activate the Web Server?

Thanks for help

Peter,

There are a few ways. Probably the easiest is to uncomment the following line in /opt/picochess/picochess.ini:

web-server = 80

This will allow you to connect either locally on the Pi by entering 127.0.0.1 into a browser running on the desktop, or over your local wifi network by entering the ip address of your Pi into a web browser on the same network (or use the hostname of the Pi, e.g. raspberrypi.localhost). If you use a different port than 80, you will have to add that to the ip address (e.g. 192.168.1.10:8080).

You can also run picochess with the -w option:

cd /opt/picochess

sudo python3 picochess.py -w
