pollylog

requirements

For the deployment on polly a java runtime environment version 8 or higher is required.

Quickstart

On windows run the start.bat, the backend will open in cmd shell, and the standard browser will head to http://localhost:31514. The logbook entries are stored in a fixed format in a csv file. Adapt the port, filename and channels in the config.json file.

Following an update it might be necessary to clear the cache of the local browser.

Update to new version

1. Get the pollylog_*.zip from the releases page.
2. End the running process by closing the terminal window.
3. Place the start.bat and the pollylog-*.jar into your pollylog folder (the only thing that changes in the .bat is the version number).
4. Do not change the config.json, if the channels, output file or port have not changed. Exception: When updating to v0.1.6 the "dbfilename": "logbook_example.db" needs to be specified additionally to the "logbookfilename": "logbook_example.csv"
5. Run the start.bat. The name of the new .jar file should show up in the first line in the terminal.
6. Reload the page in the browser, sometimes a hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5) is required. The version number is displayed on the bottom left of the page.
