Single User mode vs Multi User mode

Pixelated works both in single- and multi-user modes. Single-user mode can be more practical to user's who intend to install Pixelated for their own use. However, if running Pixelated as a service to other users, you'll need the multi-user mode.

Single User Mode

To run the single user mode, run the following:

 vagrant@jessie:/vagrant$ pixelated-user-agent --host 0.0.0.0

Then you will be asked to inform the provider url, username and password in the command prompt. Once that is done, you can use by browsing to http://localhost:3333, where you will be already logged in.

You can also run the single user mode with a credentials file.

Config file with credentials

Create a config file with ini format in the root directory, see the example:

credentials.ini

[pixelated]
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8080
leap_server_name=<your_provider>
leap_username=<your_username>
leap_password=<your_password>

Host and port is optional.

To use it, start the user agent like this: $ pixelated-user-agent --host 0.0.0.0 --config credentials.ini

Multi User Mode

To run the pixelated user agent multi user mode, please run the following:

 vagrant@jessie:/vagrant$ pixelated-user-agent --host 0.0.0.0 --multi-user --provider=<your.provider>

Once that is done, you can use by browsing to http://localhost:3333, where you will be prompted for your email username and password.
