norns in docker

norns on docker

this is a (mostly) turn-key solution to get norns running on a laptop (or server). norns will run in a web browser that can be controlled and seen and heard. it will not allow audio input or external devices (grid or midi). also only works with linux amd64 - it might work with other computers/architectures, but things will have to be changed.

this is heavily based off https://github.com/winder/norns-dev. the main differences is that I'm using a web browser to interact with norns and I'm trying to keep it as up to date as possible with the main monome branch.

real-time audio

you can use jack to setup realtime audio. just set jackdrc with your soundcard, e.g.:

/usr/bin/jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:PCH

where "PCH" is the name of your card. for the example above I got it by using /proc/asound/cards:

> cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xe1348000 irq 137

urls

if you are using it locally, here's the urls you'll need:

• http://localhost:8889 to see the screen
• http://localhost:8000/radio.mp3 to hear the sound
• http://localhost:5000 to use maiden
