Lokinet Control Panel
This repository contains a cross-platform GUI for controlling and observing stats from a locally-running lokinet
. See also loki-network.
There is also an option (Bootstrap Client from Web
) in the system tray's context menu (except when compiled with SYSTEMD=true
, as is the case in the Debian packages). This will download a bootstrap file which will allow the lokinet
client to join the lokinet network.
Building
To build, you'll need cmake
and a handful of Qt
packages available. On Ubuntu
or similar, you can install these with:
sudo apt install qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-platform qml-module-qtcharts libqt5charts5-dev
Then clone, build and run:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network-control-panel
cd loki-network-control-panel
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./lokinet-gui
Systemd
The app can be compiled to support systemd
for starting and stopping lokinet
. To enable this, invoke cmake
with -DSYSTEMD=ON
.
Note that interactions with systemd may require privilege escalation, which is handled through polkit
. A graphical polkit backend must be running for this to work.
MacOS
The above commands work to build a working executable, however if you also want to bundle it into a
.app
bundle invoke cmake as:
cmake -DMACOS_APP=ON ..
which will produce a lokinet-gui.app executable app bundle directory containing the binary, resources, and dependencies.
Note that building this way additionally requires imagemagick installed and built with SVG support.
Usage
By default, the app starts running in the background with access available through the system tray. Click on the system tray icon to interact with the app.
Additionally, the following command-line arguments are supported:
--no-hide
Prevents the window from being hidden automatically when it loses focus. Also adds normal window chroming.
--no-tray
Implies --no-hide, and additionally removes the system tray. Closing the window exits the app.
--rpc
Provide a custom rpc url for talking to lokinet, defaults to tcp://127.0.0.1:1190
