Install dweOS

Install dweOS via Command-Line

If you haven’t install dweOS, install it on your existing Linux system or Raspberry Pi.
Once you have finished installing dweOS via the command line, you can access the graphical interface through any modern web browser. Depending on where dweOS is running relative to your current device, use one of the two methods below.

​
Connection Methods

​
1. Local Access

If you are sitting at the same machine where dweOS was installed, you can reach the home page using the local loopback address.
  • URL: http://localhost
  • Port: 80 (Default)
Since dweOS runs on the standard HTTP port (80), you don’t need to type the port number into your browser. Just http://localhost will work!

​
2. Remote Access (Network)

If dweOS is installed on a separate device (like a server, Raspberry Pi, or a dedicated workstation) on your local network, you will need that device’s IP address.
  1. Find the IP address of the host machine (e.g., run hostname -I or ifconfig on Linux).
  2. Enter the IP into your browser’s address bar.
Setup TypeAddress Format
Standard IPhttp://192.168.1.XX
Hostnamehttp://dweos.local (if configured)

​
Success

Once you reach the home page of dweOS, you can move on to streaming video from your cameras!

Frequently missed

If the page fails to load, please check the following:
Ensure the dweOS process is actually running in your terminal. Look for a “Server started” or “Listening on port 80” message in your logs.
If accessing remotely, ensure your system’s firewall allows incoming traffic on Port 80.
Make sure no other web server (like Apache or Nginx) is already using Port 80 on that device.
