try to run peervpn on two pis connected on the same wireless network to get them communicate with each other without passing through central server.

steps: download package wget https://peervpn.net/files/peervpn-0-044-linux-x86.tar.gz

unzip package tar xvf peervpn-0-044-linux-x86.tar.gz

I installed peervpn on one of my pis. however my other pi has some problem, i can't ssh into it. <try in studio network? because the router can connect up to 12 pi.>

try to use Jinja to generate repetitive tags and id in html page.

from jinja2 import Template

images_html=Template('''
	{% for image in images %}
	<img class="gallery" href="{{ image }}.jpg" id=images_{{ image }}></img>
	{% endfor %}

''')

numberList = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]

images_list=images_html.render(images=numberList)
print(images_list)

output is:

        <img class="gallery" href="1.jpg" id=images_1></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="2.jpg" id=images_2></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="3.jpg" id=images_3></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="4.jpg" id=images_4></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="5.jpg" id=images_5></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="6.jpg" id=images_6></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="7.jpg" id=images_7></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="8.jpg" id=images_8></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="9.jpg" id=images_9></img>
	
	<img class="gallery" href="10.jpg" id=images_10></img>

I tried to do ssh on client and server side according to homebrew server side config, but I wasn't able to troubleshoot.

I was doing this because I have some problems with my ports on raspberry pi, and it loads the website too slow. So I switched to using a Virtual Server Provider.

generated pages with Jinja, become more familiar with its syntax

29 09 2019

mostly reviewing Jinja syntax and looked at how homebrew server club made their homebrew theme, how different templates work. [index, base, article, page, etc]

hope to adjust existing themes and make my own theme, with credits to the original.

installed etherpad on a pi together with artemis

some memorable moments are 1. overcoming the temporary switch problem in xpub studio 2. mysql, the suggested database for installation couldn't be set up, we opted for MariaDB which was similar and it worked. prospects: keeping the authorship color? can look into this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40716063/how-etherpad-recognizes-author-color to see if doable.
