Printscan server

Version 3.1

This repository contains files used to set up our printscan server on a freshly installed Armbian. Target is Bullseye.

Introduction

(see wiki for need and concept explanation)

Version 3.1 implementation works roughly as follows

SBC

• 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 to provide local scan
• scanservjs runs on the SBC, providing a web interface for scan

Files

Files in this repository cover all the SBC setup

Installation

• setup.sh is a script automating the installation and configuration of required software
• cupsd.conf is the config file for CUPS, set by setup script
• scanservjs.conf is an Apache HTTP vhost file for scanservjs

TODO

• Add a firewall rule to block access to port 8080
• REVIEW THE SCRIPT TO ONLY SET UP PRINTSCAN, INSTALLATION IS DONE BY armbian-setup
