Sharing BPL log online

Here is a new easy way to share BrewPiLess logs over the internet, on-line.

Step 0: Hosting on GitHub.

If you have your own host, it should be easy and you can skip this part. Using GitHub hosting service is simple and easy. I would suggest you too google on this subject to find better illustration and description.

Step 2: Get the log viewer

Get the “BPLog.htm” file from my GitHub:
https://github.com/vitotai/vitotai.github.io
Don’t forget to get the “raw” version.

Step 3: Upload the file and logs to share

The logs will be put at the same place as the BPLog.htm file. Subdirectories can be used. I put my log in a subdirectory, named “log”.

Step 4: Test the shared link.

First open the log viewer page on your browser. The url should be something like

1
https://[your_name].github.io/BPLog.htm

If you can see the empty log chart page. You are almost done.

Step 5: Create the shared link.

Append log name after the URL above in this format

1
https://your_name.github.io/BPLog.htm?log=[Your log name]

If the log is put in a subdirectory, replace “/” by “%2F”. You will need to uriEncodeComponent special characters. If you don’t understand previous sentence, please don’t use special characters in the path and log file names.
eg. A log name “nottingham.035.20171114” in subfolder “log

1
https://vitotai.github.io/BPLog.htm?log=log%2Fnottingham.035.20171114

To put the chart inside a page, you can use “iframe”. For example:

1
<iframe class="chart-frame" src="http://www.vito.tw/brewlogs/BPLog.htm?log=log%2Fnottingham.035.20171114">

The result should be:
