New features and bug fixes are only available in beta branch. Only after successful testing they are merged into the main branch.
It is not recommended to use the beta version in a production system.
With the command line argument branch the Git Branch can be changed. Threadfin must be started via the terminal.
threadfin -branch=beta
...
[Threadfin] GitHub: https://github.com/Threadfin/Threadfin
[Threadfin] Git Branch: beta [Threadfin]
...
threadfin -branch=main
...
[Threadfin] GitHub: https://github.com/Threadfin/Threadfin
[Threadfin] Git Branch: main [Threadfin]
...
When the branch is changed, an update is only performed if there is a new version and the update function is activated in the settings.
- Go (go1.18 or newer)
- Download source code
- Install dependencies
go mod tidy && go mod vendor
- Build Threadfin
go build threadfin.go
- Update web files (optional)
If TypeScript files were changed, run:
tsc -p ./ts/tsconfig.jsonThen, to embed updated JavaScript files into the source code (src/webUI.go), run it in development mode at least once:
go build threadfin.go
threadfin -devWhen creating a fork, the Threadfin GitHub account must be changed from the source code or the update function disabled. Future updates of Threadfin would update your fork.
threadfin.go - Line: 29
var GitHub = GitHubStruct{Branch: "main", User: "Threadfin", Repo: "Threadfin", Update: true}
