SERVING KOLIBRI:

Kolibri is a set of digital materials that can be served offline using a raspberry pi hotspot. Libraries can be downloaded and saved from their catalog or after installation.

Steps:

sudo apt install libffi-dev python3-pip python3-pkg-resources dirmngr

sudo pip3 install pip setuptools --upgrade

sudo pip3 install cffi --upgrade

sudo su -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/learningequality/kolibri/ubuntu xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/learningequality-ubuntu-kolibri-xenial.list'

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DC5BAA93F9E4AE4F0411F97C74F88ADB3194DD81

sudo apt update

sudo apt install kolibri

This is to be set up and served via IP address and port 8080:

Sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/kolibri

server {

listen 80;

listen [::]:80;

server_name kolibri kolibri.library;

location / {

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;

}

}
