Using OpenDeck in headless mode
Hi, I started configuring OpenDeck with a Raspberry Pi so I can use it to control the Zynthian software.
The distribution is based on Debian Bookworm.
What works: launching OpenDeck when running in GUI mode, via VNC. This allows me to configure my StreamDeck and launch things.
What doesn’t work so far: launching the same command /bin/opendeck returns without error or logging when no GUI is enabled. I would hope this would configure the StreamDeck but leave out the X / config screen.
I see no entries in the log or plugin logs.

I don't know if this is supported by Tauri
it needs to open the window for the app to work, and I don't know if WebKit and GTK and whatever else can simulate without a display what is needed for themselves
It seems it indeed expects a real or virtual display.
So either I could fake a display or the application could have an extra entry point that does not use Tauri. Effort aside, do you think that would be technically possible?

it's technically possible, but currently all the rendering is done in the frontend
it would need to be rewritten in rust
Solution
Understood, I’ll try it with the dummy approach.
