# ButtonTask v2
|
|
|
|
Configurable touch-screen button panel for embedded Linux (Qt5 + QML), with a
|
|
companion Flask web configurator. Both share a single JSON config file.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Dynamic list of buttons (1..N), each fires HTTP GET/POST on tap
|
|
- Per-button trigger mode: press-and-hold (DelayButton-style, animated progress
|
|
ring, configurable hold duration) or plain click — set in both editors
|
|
- Layout: grid (configurable column count) or list
|
|
- Configurable background: animated gradient, solid color or image
|
|
- Configurable feedback ring: color and width of the OK / error glow around buttons
|
|
- In-app settings dialog (tabbed pages): CRUD buttons, drag-and-drop reorder,
|
|
layout/background/feedback/password, Ethernet configuration and update info
|
|
- Web configurator (Flask blueprints + tabbed UI + SortableJS): same operations
|
|
remotely, plus icon upload, Ethernet configuration and OTA updates
|
|
- Ethernet configuration via NetworkManager (`nmcli`) from the web UI
|
|
- OTA software update with automatic rollback on a failed launch (health-check)
|
|
- Hot reload: app picks up config changes via `QFileSystemWatcher`
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ButtonTask/
|
|
CMakeLists.txt Qt5 build
|
|
main.cpp
|
|
src/ C++ sources (ConfigManager, ButtonsModel, ButtonController,
|
|
SettingsContainer, SystemInfo)
|
|
qml/ Main.qml, BackgroundLayer.qml, ButtonDelegate.qml, SettingsDialog.qml
|
|
components/ BackHeader.qml, LabeledSlider.qml
|
|
settings/ MainPage / ButtonsPage / LayoutPage / BackgroundPage /
|
|
FeedbackPage / NetworkInfoPage / UpdatePage / ButtonEditorDialog
|
|
resources/ qml.qrc, icons.qrc
|
|
config/config.json default config (shipped next to the binary)
|
|
webconfig/ Flask service (modular):
|
|
app.py application factory + /healthz
|
|
config_store.py load/save/defaults (in sync with C++ ensureDefaults)
|
|
auth.py login/logout/session
|
|
api.py buttons/layout/background/feedback/settings/icons
|
|
network.py Ethernet via nmcli
|
|
updater.py OTA upload + status
|
|
paths.py install layout helpers
|
|
templates/ static/ *.service, requirements.txt
|
|
scripts/ bt-netconfig, bt-update, bt-service, buttontask.sudoers,
|
|
make-package.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Qt app reads the config from (in order of priority):
|
|
1. `--config <path>` command-line argument
|
|
2. `BUTTONTASK_CONFIG` environment variable
|
|
3. `<applicationDir>/config/config.json` (default)
|
|
|
|
The Flask service reads the same paths.
|
|
|
|
## Building (embedded Linux, Qt5)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev \
|
|
qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-layouts \
|
|
qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qtqml-models2 \
|
|
cmake build-essential
|
|
|
|
mkdir build && cd build
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
|
|
make -j$(nproc)
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Binary lands in `/usr/local/bin/ButtonTask`. To run on a framebuffer/EGL device:
|
|
```sh
|
|
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs ButtonTask --config /opt/buttontask/config/config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Web configurator
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd webconfig
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
BUTTONTASK_CONFIG=../config/config.json python3 app.py
|
|
```
|
|
Open `http://<device-ip>:8080`. Login: `admin` + the password from `settings.password`.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment with systemd (versioned layout)
|
|
|
|
The device uses an A/B-style versioned layout so OTA updates can roll back:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/opt/buttontask/
|
|
versions/<ver>/ ButtonTask + webconfig/ (one dir per deployed version)
|
|
current -> versions/<ver> (active version symlink)
|
|
config/ icons/ shared, never replaced by an update
|
|
run/ qt.alive heartbeat, update-status.json
|
|
scripts/ bt-netconfig, bt-update, bt-service (root-owned)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
First install:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false buttontask
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/buttontask/{versions/2.0,config,icons,run,scripts}
|
|
sudo cp build/ButtonTask /opt/buttontask/versions/2.0/
|
|
sudo cp -r webconfig /opt/buttontask/versions/2.0/
|
|
sudo ln -sfn /opt/buttontask/versions/2.0 /opt/buttontask/current
|
|
sudo cp config/config.json /opt/buttontask/config/
|
|
|
|
# privileged helpers (root-owned) + sudoers whitelist
|
|
sudo install -m 0755 webconfig/scripts/bt-netconfig webconfig/scripts/bt-update \
|
|
webconfig/scripts/bt-service /opt/buttontask/scripts/
|
|
sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask > /dev/null << 'EOF'
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-netconfig
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-update
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-service
|
|
EOF
|
|
sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask
|
|
sudo visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask
|
|
|
|
sudo chown -R buttontask:buttontask /opt/buttontask
|
|
sudo chown root:root /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-* # scripts must be root-owned
|
|
|
|
# Qt eglfs needs a writable runtime dir for the unprivileged user
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
sudo chown buttontask:buttontask /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
sudo chmod 0700 /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
|
|
# eglfs grabs KMS/DRM directly; disable the desktop display manager
|
|
sudo systemctl disable display-manager
|
|
sudo systemctl stop display-manager
|
|
|
|
sudo cp webconfig/buttontask.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
sudo cp webconfig/buttontask-web.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now buttontask buttontask-web
|
|
|
|
# verify sudoers (should succeed without a password prompt)
|
|
sudo -u buttontask sudo -n /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-netconfig eth0 dhcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Touchscreen (device-specific override)
|
|
|
|
The base `buttontask.service` does not hardcode a touch device path because the
|
|
`eventN` number varies between boards. Copy the example override and set the
|
|
correct event for your touchscreen:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# find the touchscreen event number
|
|
grep -l -E 'ABS_X|ABS_MT_POSITION' /sys/class/input/event*/device/capabilities/abs 2>/dev/null \
|
|
| sed 's|.*/input/event||;s|/device.*||'
|
|
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/buttontask.service.d
|
|
sudo cp /opt/buttontask/current/webconfig/buttontask.service.d/override.conf.example \
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/buttontask.service.d/override.conf
|
|
# edit override.conf — replace event1 with the number found above
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart buttontask
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Migrating an already-deployed device
|
|
|
|
If the device was installed from an older guide, apply these fixes:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# 1. sudoers (fixes "sudo: a password is required" in web network config)
|
|
sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask > /dev/null << 'EOF'
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-netconfig
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-update
|
|
buttontask ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-service
|
|
EOF
|
|
sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask
|
|
sudo visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask
|
|
|
|
# 2. runtime dir
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
sudo chown buttontask:buttontask /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
sudo chmod 0700 /tmp/runtime-buttontask
|
|
|
|
# 3. display manager
|
|
sudo systemctl disable --now display-manager
|
|
|
|
# 4. updated unit + touch override (see above)
|
|
sudo cp /opt/buttontask/current/webconfig/buttontask.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
|
|
# 5. icons — until OTA with the path-resolution fix, set absolute iconsDir:
|
|
# "iconsDir": "/opt/buttontask/icons" in /opt/buttontask/config/config.json
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl restart buttontask-web buttontask
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**`/usr/bin/env: 'bash\r': No such file or directory`**
|
|
|
|
Shell scripts were saved with Windows CRLF line endings. On the device, fix in place:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo sed -i 's/\r$//' /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or re-copy the scripts from a repo checkout with LF endings (see `.gitattributes`).
|
|
|
|
**`sudo: a password is required` (web → Сеть)**
|
|
|
|
- `sudo visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/buttontask` must pass without errors
|
|
- web service must run as `buttontask`: `systemctl show -p User buttontask-web`
|
|
- helper scripts must be root-owned: `ls -la /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-*`
|
|
- test manually: `sudo -u buttontask sudo -n /opt/buttontask/scripts/bt-netconfig eth0 dhcp`
|
|
|
|
**`QML Image: Cannot open: file:///./icons/...`**
|
|
|
|
- Icons are stored in `/opt/buttontask/icons/` (shared, outside the version dir)
|
|
- Set `"iconsDir": "/opt/buttontask/icons"` in config, or deploy a build with
|
|
the C++ path-resolution fix (relative `./icons` is resolved against
|
|
`BUTTONTASK_ROOT`, same as the web configurator)
|
|
|
|
**Touch not working**
|
|
|
|
- Check the override at `/etc/systemd/system/buttontask.service.d/override.conf`
|
|
- Re-detect the event number (see Touchscreen section above)
|
|
- Ensure the `buttontask` user is in supplementary groups `video render input`
|
|
(set in `buttontask.service`)
|
|
|
|
## Network configuration (Ethernet)
|
|
|
|
Open the web UI → tab **Сеть**. It reads the live state via `nmcli` and can
|
|
apply DHCP or a static IP/prefix/gateway/DNS. The change is performed by the
|
|
root helper `bt-netconfig` (whitelisted in sudoers); the unprivileged web
|
|
service never touches the network directly. The same settings can also be
|
|
applied from the device itself via the in-app **Сеть** page (it calls the same
|
|
`bt-netconfig` helper through sudo, so the Qt UI must run as the `buttontask`
|
|
user covered by the sudoers rule).
|
|
|
|
## OTA software update
|
|
|
|
Build a package and upload it from the web UI → tab **Обновление**:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./webconfig/scripts/make-package.sh 2.1 build dist
|
|
# -> dist/buttontask-2.1.tar.gz (+ sha256 to paste for integrity)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On upload, `bt-update` (detached, root) extracts the package into
|
|
`versions/<ver>`, flips the `current` symlink, restarts both services, then runs
|
|
a health-check: the web `/healthz` must answer, the Qt UI heartbeat
|
|
(`run/qt.alive`) must be fresh, and the `buttontask` unit must be active within
|
|
`BUTTONTASK_HEALTH_TIMEOUT` (default 30s). If any check fails it automatically
|
|
switches `current` back to the previous version and restarts. Progress is shown
|
|
live and is also readable in the app's **Обновление** page.
|
|
|

|

|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Both Qt and Flask write the config atomically (`QSaveFile` / `os.replace`).
|
|
- Qt watches the file via `QFileSystemWatcher` and reloads automatically when
|
|
the web configurator saves changes.
|
|
- Button success criteria: a request is **green** on a 1xx/2xx/3xx HTTP reply
|
|
(redirects are followed) and **red** on 4xx/5xx or a transport failure
|
|
(timeout / connection refused / DNS). Set `action.acceptAnyResponse: true` to
|
|
treat *any* received HTTP reply as success (only timeouts/refused fail), and
|
|
`action.timeoutMs` to tune the timeout. Add an API key/token via
|
|
`action.headers` if the target endpoint requires one.
|
|
- Web configurator endpoints are all session-protected (`@login_required` after
|
|
password login); only `/healthz` is public (it exposes just `ok` + version,
|
|
used by the OTA rollback health-check).
|
|
- Default credentials are `admin` / `admin` — change on first run.
|
|
- v1 (Android/RS485/voice) was removed; only the icon set was kept.
