Self hosted setup

[grego1981]

Hi and thank you for the awesome app!
What are the prerequisites to set this webapp on a self hosted machine? What are the requirements to make the web server make the magic happen? I have placed the file in an ngnix installation but the connect button does not open the serial select dialog and I get the image as in the attached image. Is there a guide to set this up?

You won't need to set up your own server, just click on this link https://technik-gegg.github.io/SMuFF-WI/ and it'll be opened on Github. Once the page is fully loaded, it doesn't need the web-server anymore, since all code is running locally via WebSerial and scripting (you need a browser that supports WebSerial though).
If you however want a dedicated server, copy all the files and folders into the root folder and configure it accordingly.

Thank you for your prompt answer! I know about the online site, but due to restrictions in the environment I want to implement the SMuFF I need to host it internally.... So it needs just to be place in the root of the webserver no other prerequisites are needed on the server side? Sorry to persist but I'm trying to make it work as best as possible in this difficult environment....

Correct, no prerequisites.
Although, make sure you don't access the web server via http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 but rather via the real IP-Address.
Reason is: localhost is reserved for a WI website running on a dedicated MCU, i.e. ESP-32
