Hannah/install from server by HannahPadd · Pull Request #1758 · SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Server

HannahPadd · 2026-02-25T10:30:56Z

Still Work in Progress.

Install from server is a system to have SlimeVR server install itself (kinda like how discord does it). It can also send information about the current installation to the gui to inform the user about uninstalled components or misconfigured components.

This commit relies on this PR from SolarXR: SlimeVR/SolarXR-Protocol#198

I changed the base of the PR so the diff makes more sense

WTH is going on here 😆

Intellij format suggestion iirc.

Can probably be more succinctly represented:

Suggested change

var response = false

if (udevResponse.contains("slime")) {

response = true

}

else {

response = false

}

val response = udevResponse.contains("slime")

duplicated from InstallerUtils

Yeah, that's because it's still wip and I haven't decided on where I will put it.
