Collection of Endless OS system helpers and tools for Kolibri.
This package contains eos-kolibri-system-helper (configuration for Kolibri's backend to run as a system service) as well as eos-kolibri-tools.
Provides dbus and systemd configuration to integrate the Kolibri flatpak with
Endless OS. It creates a kolibri
system user, and dbus system service
configuration for org.learningequality.Kolibri.Daemon
. This dbus service uses
the org.learningequality.Kolibri
flatpak.
The KOLIBRI_USE_SYSTEM_INSTANCE
environment variable is set globally so the
Kolibri front-end knows to communicate with the system service rather than a
per-session one. However, for Endless Key flatpak, it should check
ENDLESS_KEY_USE_SYSTEM_INSTANCE
environment and make front-end communicate
with the system service if it is set, instead of KOLIBRI_USE_SYSTEM_INSTANCE
.
The dbus system service is executed from the
dbus-org.learningequality.Kolibri.Daemon.service
(or
dbus-org.endlessos.Key.Daemon.service
) systemd unit. Normally the way to set
environment variables for systemd services is to add a drop-in configuration.
However, since the daemon is ultimately executed with flatpak run
, flatpak
manages the execution environment. In that case, environment variables for the
daemon should be set with a flatpak override. For example:
flatpak override --env=KOLIBRI_DEBUG=1 org.learningequality.Kolibri
Provides tools to manage the system-wide Kolibri installation:
eos-kolibri-manage
: Run a Kolibri management command inside Endless OS's default Kolibri instance.eos-kolibri-migrate
: Copy Kolibri data from a desktop user's Kolibri instance to the system Kolibri instance.eos-kolibri-listcontent
: List content installed in Kolibri. This is useful to generate configuration for eos-image-builder.
The meson option kolibri_flatpak_id
is set as org.learningequality.Kolibri
for the org.learningequality.Kolibri
flatpak and the dbus system service
org.learningequality.Kolibri.Daemon
by default. It can be set as another
flatpak ID and will change the dbus system service accordingly.
