👷 Building EcoDash

Here's how to build EcoDash in both binaries and as a Docker container. This is not necessary for most cases - we provide both pre-built binaries and containers for Linux ARM and x86_64 - however in devices with unsupported architectures it's necessary.

You're encouraged to first check the installation instructions to see if a pre-built container or binary is already available.
If you really have to build it yourself, we recommend you Docker over binaries.

Binaries

Linux

1. Download the Go Compiler from https://go.dev/dl/ or from your repository's package manager (it's usually called go or golang)
2. Download the Git SCM from https://git-scm.com/download/linux or from your package manager (it's always called git)
3. Clone the repository by running git clone https://gitea.massivebox.net/ecodash/ecodash.git inside a command prompt
4. Switch to the project directory with cd ecodash
5. Download the dependencies with go get ecodash
6. Build with go build. This will generate an executable, ecodash, in the same directory.

Windows

1. Install the latest release of the Go Compiler for Windows from https://go.dev/dl/
2. Install the Git SCM from https://git-scm.com/download/win. The "Standalone installer" is recommended. All the default settings will work fine.
3. Clone the repository by running git clone https://gitea.massivebox.net/ecodash/ecodash.git inside a command prompt
4. Switch to the project directory with cd ecodash
5. Download the dependencies with go get ecodash
6. Build with go build. This will generate an executable, ecodash.exe, in the same directory.
