The next Paignton Library Code Club is Saturday 6th November 2021. Usual time.

We will just carry on from where we left off last time, catch up on what has been undertaken since the last code club.

I am back at Code Club today, 2nd session since our return. If you are still not sure what Code Club is, then you have clearly being living in a cave since about 2012. Anyway, it is a coding club for children, generally 9-13 years of age.

The Paignton Club is a little more advanced, in that some of the attendees are working through a responsive web design course.

It would be really good to get MORE code clubs in Torbay, and in fact would be really nice if those clubs could collaborate, share expertise, maybe some resources.

I spent some time on last night, setting up a mini web server on m Raspberry pi.

So running a http server on a Raspberry Pi.

For this project I am just using the python3-test-server package,

1. Install python3-test-server
2. Create a directory to hold some html files
3. Change to this directory
4. Create a very basic html file e.g index.html
5. run python3 -m http.server:7800 where 7800 is the port you want to use

In the browser go to ip:7800

What I have done here, however is

• Run the server on the pi,
• Connected via ssh to create the site files and run the server
• Edited the basic website on the pi via ssh, by running a text editor

• To copy other files directly from my main PC to the Pi i used

  • scp file.jpg pi@ip:path e.g
    • scp file.jpg pi@ip:/home/pi/html/

I have, gone a little further than this:

In order to share my free software video dvd (and other resources) with people I:-

• Uploaded files to the server
• Created a web link to the iso file
• Edited my router firewall so it would allow a connection to the pi

I then shared the appropriate IP address with a friend via irc so he could download the ISO file, and it worked really well.

I have now completed all the modules in the FreeCodeCamp responsive web design course.

Profile can be found here that details the time line for this. I have also updated my LinkedIn profile with this update.

As yet I have ONLY completed the actual modules and have not undertaken the assessment projects. However my intention was to follow the course to help support Paignton Library Code Club anyway.
