Tapeboard Connector (Linux)

Setup is three steps:

  1. Unzip this folder. In a Terminal, start the connector:
     chmod +x tapeboard-connector-linux-<arch>
     ./tapeboard-connector-linux-<arch>
  2. The window says the connector is running. Leave it open.
  3. In your browser: tapeboard.com -> Settings -> Preferences -> Broker Link,
     turn it ON, click "Test connection". It should say "Connector found".

Notes:
- Typing into your broker window needs xdotool (sudo apt install xdotool).
  Without it the connector runs and connects; typing will fail.
- Stop it any time: press Ctrl+C in its window.
- It listens only on this computer (port 47339) and only accepts requests
  from tapeboard.com. It types a ticker into your broker window, nothing else.
