Development TV setup

Configuring @webosose/ares-cli with Developer Mode App

This is partially based on: https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/app-test/using-devmode-app/

• Install Developer Mode app from Content Store
• Enable developer mode, enable keyserver
• Download TV's private key: http://TV_IP:9991/webos_rsa
• Configure the device using ares-setup-device (-a may need to be replaced with -m if device named webos is already configured)
  • PASSPHRASE is the 6-character passphrase printed on screen in developer mode app

ares-setup-device -a webos -i "username=prisoner" -i "privatekey=/path/to/downloaded/webos_rsa" -i "passphrase=PASSPHRASE" -i "host=TV_IP" -i "port=9922"

Configuring @webosose/ares-cli with Homebrew Channel / root

• Enable sshd in Homebrew Channel app
• Generate ssh key on developer machine (ssh-keygen)
• Copy the public key (id_rsa.pub) to /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys on TV
• Configure the device using ares-setup-device (-a may need to be replaced with -m if device named webos is already configured)

ares-setup-device -a webos -i "username=root" -i "privatekey=/path/to/id_rsa" -i "passphrase=SSH_KEY_PASSPHRASE" -i "host=TV_IP" -i "port=22"

Note: @webosose/ares-cli doesn't need to be installed globally - you can use a package installed locally after npm install in this repo by just prefixing above commands with local path, like so: node_modules/.bin/ares-setup-device ...
