Thanks to our recent participation to Google Summer of Code and to feedbacks from our users and from our Sugarizer Deployment in Saint-Ouen [3], this new Sugarizer Server version integrate major features and improvements. Specifically, new features in this version are: - Teacher profile: teachers are now able to connect with a specific account and handle their classrooms and students without a global view of the deployment. - Customizable Stats: Statistics view in dashboard is now fully customizable with more than 15 charts to understand all aspects of Sugarizer usage in your school. - Tutorial: The dashboard contains now a full tutorial to explain all features for all screens to admins and teachers. - Import/Export: The dashboard integrate import/export features to populate easily your database with new teachers and students accounts. - Improved UI: Columns sorting, more user friendly error messages, improved classroom view, more responsive IO, … the dashboard UI has been reviewed to be more usable by teachers/admins. - QRCode connection: Connect your Sugarizer application to your server in in few seconds by using the QR Code integrated within the dahsboard, - Unlimited storage: Database now support unlimited Journal size and Journal item up to 256mb, - Improved command line options: activate/desactivate logs, detect and show node.js version, … new options and features allow you to have more control on your server. - Optimization: ESLint and Grunt minimizer are now integrated to improve code quality and performance. A new aggregate API has also been created to optimize stats generation. Find a detailed change log on [4]. Sugarizer Server 1.2 is available for any computer using Docker or could be directly installed on Linux, MacOS or Windows. A specific documentation explain how to deploy on a RaspberryPI, Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Service. See here for more [5]. Note that since Sugarizer v1.0, Sugarizer Application and Sugarizer Server are split and are updated separately. So Sugarizer Server v1.2 could be use by Sugarizer Application v1.0, v1.1 or v1.2. Lionel. P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to Nikhil Mehra, Tarun K. Singhal, Ashish Aggarwal and to all GSoC contributors.

XO usb port can be used to power Pi Zero W. XO can be used to prepare >64 GB SD by installing Exfat (per earlier post). Headless Pi Zero can be set up wirelessly with standard method of connecting to a wireless router. A prepared Raspbian SD is edited to place empty SSH file in /boot to enable SSH and place a model wpa_supplicant file in /boot. The wpa_supplicant is edit to provide ssid or ip address of router and its password. The Pi Zero W is functioning as an AP client. Connection to the Pi Zero W is made using its host name (raspberrypi, password raspberry) or ip address (192.168.128.4) with a computer (XO) also connected to the wireless router. The wireless router is connected to an internet AP (in my case broadband AP/wireless router). Raspbian Desktop is loaded and then Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is loaded. iiab-hotspot-on command is run to enable IIAB's AP. This also disables the connection to the wireless router and the only access to the IIAB becomes its AP and there is no internet connection (in spite of enabling internet on gateway). If one needs to connect to the internet to obtain more content, then iiab-hotspot-off . The Pi Zero W can then be access with an XO (same XO as for power) over its usb port, which provides internet access. XO setup and accessing Chromium in the Raspbian Desktop has been described in an earlier post. IIAB is run in Chromium to access the Admin Console to manage the content. Return to normal use of IIAB by running iiab-hotspot-on . The Pi Zero W can be moved to any source of usb power. Connect XO wirelessly to IIAB AP. SSH / desktop with ssh -X pi at box.local /etc/X11/xinit/xintrc Run Chrommium with URL of http://box.local. This can be simplified by setting startup page in Chromium to http://box.local/home . Chromium is very, very slow, but IIAB is at XO speed. If one wants to otherwise use Chromium, enable Home key in task bar and assign it to Chrome:// Direct Chromium access with works when accessed over the usb, but does not work with IIAB AP (something about Xlib). A simple Sugar Activity can run a script to handle all this startup of ssh / chromium / iiab . My question for Devel list: is there a simpler (faster) application than desktop Chromium for displaying web pages from Terminal ?? links2 is one such application, but I have not been successful in setting up options for x display.

Raspbian Desktop is loaded and then Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is loaded. iiab-hotspot-on command is run to enable IIAB's AP. This also disables the connection to the wireless router and the only access to the IIAB becomes its AP and there is no internet connection (in spite of enabling internet on gateway). > > > > > > > > > > If one needs to connect to the internet to obtain more content, then iiab-hotspot-off . The Pi Zero W can then be access with an XO (same XO as for power) over its usb port, which provides internet access. XO setup and accessing Chromium in the Raspbian Desktop has been described in an earlier post. IIAB is run in Chromium to access the Admin Console to manage the content. > > > > > > > > > > Return to normal use of IIAB by running iiab-hotspot-on .
