Use your Raspberry Pi as your local NodeJS Webserver

June 12th, 2016 18 comments

*** An updated version of the article is available here ***

A couple of months ago, I tinkered around with NodeJS on my local machine. After a while I got kinda addicted to the NodeJS Plattform for webservice (SOA) applications as well as Desktop Apps (Electron/NodeWebkit). Hence more complicated NodeJS experiments will start, I decided to set-up my own webserver environment for my (local) network with a Raspberry Pi 2 B. My tools of choice are:

  • Raspian Jessie Lite from 2016-05-27
  • GIT v2.1.4: Version control for source code
  • NodeJS v6.2.0: for REST APIs and Websocket applications
  • Nginx Webserver: Deliver static files, Reverse Proxy for NodeJS, and Load Balancing
  • MySQL Server and Client: for Relational Databases
  • CouchDB v1.6.1: as my NoSQL Database with strong JavaScript tools
  • PM2: NodeJS Process Manager for starting and stoping NodeJS Apps
  • Nodeadmin: Admin Tool for MySQL (like PHPmyAdmin)

Let's get started:

 

Download Raspian Jessie Lite from the foundation website and write the image on your class 10 SD Card. For more information please read this tutorial (in German).

Workshop Format: Create a Game (Art) Installation

May 7th, 2016 5 comments

During mid of 2013 until the beginning of 2014, Juliane Springsguth and me had the chance to develop a new game design hacking workshop format for teenagers (Mostly 8th graders around 13-15 years old) in cooperation with "Berufsorientierte Schulprojektwochen (BOP)" organized by the Media Education Institution WeTeK Berlin gGmbH.

Our objective was to generate a tangible and audiovisual output in shape of a Game (Art) installation during the workshop. Furthermore, our intention regarding those young participants was to empower them to express their ideas in a (media) technology driven environment. Officially the objective was that they get a first impression how a job as digital media worker could look like.

Plants as a barometer: “Charisma Garden”

October 20th, 2014 10 comments

The last introduced projects were characterized by its approach of attaching data to a plant. In this project “Charisma Garden” (2013 - 2014), the data will be directly integrated in the health and growth process of a plant. In comparison to the “Travelling Plants” and “Dead Tree Project”, the data is not added to the plant then rather the representation of the data is the plant by itself in this project. In relation to the chapter “3.1. Visualizing techniques with plants” on page 44, the “Charisma Garden” project can be assigned to the category plant displays and takes over the role as a data sculpture. This dynamic (visually changing) data sculpture presents the social activity of a Facebook user.
