Migrating assets from Anthias to Screenly

Note

This feature is only available in devices running Raspberry Pi OS at the moment.

To get started, SSH to your Raspberry Pi running Anthias. For instance:

$ ssh pi@raspberrypi

Go to the project root directory and create a Python virtual environment, if you haven't created one.

$ cd ~/screenly
$ python -m venv venv/

Activate the virtual environment. You need to do this everytime right before you run the script.

$ source ./venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies required by the assets migration script.

$ pip install -r requirements/requirements.local.txt

Before running the script, you should prepare the following:

• Your Screenly API key
• Anthias username and password, if your device has basic authentication enabled

Run the assets migration script. Follow through the instructions & prompts carefully.

$ python tools/migrate-assets-to-screenly.py
