# Printscan server
|
||
|
|
## Version 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains files used to set up our printscan server on a freshly installed Armbian. Confirmed to work
|
||
|
|
with Buster.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Introduction
|
||
|
|
(see wiki for need and concept explanation)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Version 2 implementation works roughly as follows:
|
||
|
|
* the Armbian-based device is connected to local network, and an all-in-one printer is connected to it via USB;
|
||
|
|
* SANE and CUPS services are installed and running on the device;
|
||
|
|
* CUPS is configured to provide a remote printer to network;
|
||
|
|
* SANE is configured for local use only (default behaviour);
|
||
|
|
* An headless X server is activable via [noVNC](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC);
|
||
|
|
* This X session presents [Simple Scan](https://github.com/GNOME/simple-scan) tool, allowing users to perform scans;
|
||
|
|
* The resulted document is automatically uploaded to Kloud, in a temporary directory;
|
||
|
|
* Every night, the directory from previous day is removed from Kloud.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Files
