# Scripts and headset setup
|
||||
|
||||
The command-line side of this repo: how SSH gets set up with as little typing on
|
||||
the headset as possible, what to use for each job, and the helper scripts that
|
||||
Frame Control is built on. The scripts are zsh/bash and run on macOS; most also
|
||||
run on Linux. On Windows, use the app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum typing on the headset
|
||||
|
||||
Valve's own developer docs say SSH, ADB, and RDP are all turned on through a
|
||||
**UI toggle**. You don't need a terminal, `passwd`, or `systemctl`. The only
|
||||
thing you type on the headset is a password you choose.
|
||||
|
||||
On the Frame:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Steam Settings → System → Enable Developer Mode** (a toggle, no typing).
|
||||
2. Scroll down to the **Developer** section and click **Set User Password**.
|
||||
Type a password. **This is the only thing you type on the headset.** Pick
|
||||
something short, because you'll type it once more on the Mac and then
|
||||
never again.
|
||||
3. (Optional, no typing) Note the IP address from **Quick Settings** or
|
||||
**Steam Settings → Internet**, in case `frame.local` doesn't resolve.
|
||||
4. (Optional) Check **Steam Settings → System → Hostname**. Leaving it as
|
||||
`frame` means the scripts work without any extra setup.
|
||||
|
||||
On the Mac:
|
||||
|
||||
To use the scripts from a checkout instead of the app:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame.git && cd steam-frame
|
||||
./scripts/connect.sh # or: ./scripts/connect.sh 192.168.1.50
|
||||
ssh frame # passwordless from now on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`connect.sh` does four things:
|
||||
|
||||
- finds the headset (`frame.local`, then `frame`, or the IP/host you pass in)
|
||||
- creates a dedicated key (`~/.ssh/id_ed25519_frame`)
|
||||
- adds a `Host frame` block to `~/.ssh/config`
|
||||
- runs `ssh-copy-id`, which asks for the Developer Mode password once
|
||||
|
||||
Run `./scripts/connect.sh --harden` later if you want to turn off SSH password
|
||||
logins.

||||
[Valve: Steam Frame Debugging](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamhardware/steamframe/debugging)
|
||||
(both **confirmed on Steam Frame**, Valve official).
|
||||
|
||||
**Fallback, only if the Developer Mode toggle doesn't give you SSH.** From the
|
||||
Mac, run `./scripts/serve-bootstrap.sh`. It prints a one-liner of about 30
|
||||
characters, like `curl -fsS mac.local:8765|bash`, to type into Konsole on the
|
||||
Frame's Linux desktop. The script it serves installs your Mac's public key and
|
||||
enables `sshd`. See [docs/ssh.md](ssh.md#fallback-bootstrap-one-liner).
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended options
|
||||
|
||||
| Goal | Recommended | Confidence |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Shell on the Frame | `ssh frame` (user `steamos`) | Confirmed (Valve docs) |
|
||||
| **See/control the Frame from the Mac** | **Steam Link for macOS → connect to `frame`** (Valve names this). Alternatives: RDP to `xrdp` with Microsoft *Windows App* for the Linux desktop, or `adb`/`scrcpy` for the Android (Lepton) layer only | Steam Link and xrdp confirmed on Frame; the Mac RDP client is inferred |
|
||||
| **Show the Mac's desktop inside the Frame** | **macOS Screen Sharing (built-in VNC) → Remmina (Flatpak, aarch64) on the Frame's Linux desktop**, installed over SSH | Inferred: each piece is documented, but the combination hasn't been tested on a Frame |
|
||||
| File transfer | `scp` / `rsync` over the `frame` alias (`scripts/push.sh`) | **Verified** (rsync is on the image) |
|
||||
| Paste Mac clipboard into the headset | `scripts/paste-to-frame.sh` (`pbpaste` → `ssh` → Klipper over D-Bus), or the clipboard sync in an RDP session | **Verified** (script); RDP untested |
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
[docs/open-questions.md](open-questions.md). For how the Frame's software
|
||||
fits together, see [docs/how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows anywhere in the room
|
||||
|
||||
The in-headset Linux desktop is a single 1280×800 panel, and its windows can't
|
||||
leave it. Each Steam app, though, gets its own SteamVR panel. That also works
|
||||
for any Linux app tagged with an app id of its own:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./scripts/panel-on-frame.sh konsole
|
||||
./scripts/panel-on-frame.sh mac-screen # the Mac's screen, in its own panel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then use the SteamVR dashboard's **Float in World**, **Move** and **Size**
|
||||
controls to place each panel. See [docs/panels.md](panels.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
| Script | Runs on | Purpose |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `scripts/tailscale-on-frame.sh` | Mac → Frame | Install Tailscale in `~` as a userspace user service so `frame` works from anywhere; `--uninstall` (**verified** on the LAN) |
|
||||
| `scripts/connect.sh` | Mac | Discover, set up key and `~/.ssh/config`, copy key, optional `--harden` (**verified**; `--harden` untested) |
|
||||
| `scripts/install-apps.sh` | Mac → Frame | Install Flatpaks (Remmina, Moonlight, …) on the Frame over SSH as `--user` (**verified** with Remmina) |
|
||||
| `scripts/paste-to-frame.sh` | Mac → Frame | Send the Mac clipboard (or stdin) to the Frame clipboard (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/install-apk.sh` | Mac → Frame | Install APKs, each as its own persistent Lepton instance with a Steam library shortcut (`--dev`: old ADB path into Lepton Development) (**verified**; see [docs/apks.md](apks.md)) |
|
||||
| `scripts/panel-on-frame.sh` | Mac → Frame | Start an app as its own floating VR panel, outside the desktop (**verified**: overlays created; in-headset placement not yet checked) |
|
||||
| `scripts/run-on-frame.sh` | Mac → Frame | Start an app on the headset desktop, e.g. `mac-screen` opens Remmina straight into the Mac (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/frame-ui.sh` | Mac | Start the Frame Control web UI (`ui/server.py`) and open it (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/apk-catalog.sh` | Mac | Refresh the rated F-Droid catalogue that Frame Control's Android section shows (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/compat-db-backup.sh` | Mac | Maintainer-only: back up the shared compatibility database locally and to Google Drive (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/push-vr-video.sh` | Mac → Frame | Upload VR180/360 videos to `~/Videos/VR`, linked into DeoVR's Proton prefix; `--launch` starts DeoVR (**verified**: upload and link; in-headset playback of local files not yet checked). See [docs/vr-video.md](vr-video.md) |
|
||||
| `scripts/push.sh` | Mac → Frame | `rsync` files to `~/Downloads` (or a given path) on the Frame (**verified**) |
|
||||
| `scripts/serve-bootstrap.sh` | Mac | Fallback: serve `bootstrap-on-frame.sh` with your public key embedded |
|
||||
| `scripts/bootstrap-on-frame.sh` | Frame | Fallback: install the key and enable `sshd` |
