GUI only?

Hello there,

first: thanks for the Pi Case 40 and the Pi Tool.

I planned to buy the Pi Case 40 after a few reviews. After a first quick look to the Pi-Tool it looks like thats a GUI only. But me and many other Pi Users running their Raspberry Pi headless.

Is the Pi-Tool ATM GUI only? If yes, is a cli planned?

Thanks in advanced

Hello!

Yes, at this stage Pi Tool is GUI only. Currently, there is no ETA for a CLI version from us but it is something we are looking into. The GUI version was the priority for us, considering the very broad spectrum of familiarity with Raspberry Pi products in our userbase.

However, since the pi-tool-daemon is exposed via WebSockets, it would be possible to build a command-line interface to access the functionality provided by it. If there are users wanting to try their hand at implementing a CLI, we would gladly provide guidance and merge it as an extension to the Pi Tool. More documentation about the API of the daemon will be added in the upcoming days

There exists documentation for the websocket API in daemon/README.md now!

Anyone that wants to try implementing a command-line client for it, feel free to do so! I'll gladly provide guidance or amend the documentation if need be. The CLI wouldn't have to be written in Rust or Typescript, so Python or similar works as well. Closing this issue for now.

Why would this issue be close though?
Core maintainers don't want to implement it (at least yet), well so be it.
Just leave the ticket opens then so someone with the skills and the time can actually somehow know that something could be implemented that users would appreciate.

That's a good point, thanks for pointing it out. I reopened the issue.

How i can install Pi-Tool-Daemon correctly? Sorry my Englisch are not good.

[Naimkr27]

I have install it so, because i can‘t start the daemon. Can i help me, please. Thanks

[Matteo-CM]

The deamon starts automatically upon opening Pi Tool, users do not need to install it or launch it separately. Can you maybe share some screenshots or additional info about the issue you are facing? Also consider installing it on a clean Raspberry Pi OS testing environment.

I don‘t have the Pi-Tool-Daemon-Service and i don‘t have files on /opt/Coolermaster.

Best Regards

Sorry to disturb here, buy I believe the discussion above is completely out of space. It looks like a support request, use dedicated channels or at least create a new issue @Naimkr27 I don't know.
But this is pure pollution to what an issue should be, with all due respect.
