Having recently viewed some rust code. I decided on impulse to take Helio into rusty land.
Therefore, a pure python Helio is lower on time allocation list.
Follow as I learn rust.
An educational app for testing and comprehending python's
capabilities to interact, monitor, and capture stream data
for a small number of specific internet sites.

Usage |
Platform: Linux
- Fast storage (SSD) for real-time access
- Whatever long term storage for videos
- uv - An ultra fast project and package manager.
- Some versions of linux (Fedora) require Xvfb install to use Seleniumbase without display error messages in the console
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb**Optional, populate .env with applicable strings.
An example is in the root directory.
- env_example
Expect Helio to create folders and databases.
Seleniumbase will download everyting it needs to be functional
- the folder appears in the root directory as 'downloaded_files'
Clone Helio from github
Recommended install stepsgit clone https://github.com/beyChill/helio.git
cd helio
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync
uv pip install -e .
uv run stardust/setup_dirs.pyAfter the inital run security certificates will be install in ~/.mitmproxy
Ubuntu/Debian (Detailed instructions)
Managed setting are located in settings.py file. ( Path: stardust/config/settings.py ) The thought was simple in the beginning. However, as Helio grows so does the size of settings.py. Perhaps beyChill will look into other options. Consideration is being made for live config changes.
Windows compatibility: ZERO interest.
Any user is free to modify this software for use on platforms outside of Linux
