Activate another template from external

[knallt]

Hey @sidoh

This is really amazing work. Thank you!
This has worked for me everything on the first try!

I have a question: Is it possible, e.g. via API, to activate another template or to switch between templates?
Thank you!

Hey @knallt,

Yeah, definitely possible. The UI interacts exclusively with a REST API.

The active template is stored in the settings document, which you can patch with a request like this:

curl -X PUT -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"display.template_name":"/t/office_dashboard_covid2.json"}' http://epaper-display.sidoh.org/api/v1/settings
