Re-opening this project full-time for the next few months. I'm going to start by upgrading to .NET 6 and get through the issues currently outstanding.

If I was to try to compile this project myself, what IDE would I need to use? I tried to load it in 'Visual Studio Code' but that wasn't successful. I also have access to Visual Studio 2013 but I have a feeling it might be too outdated. I'm a bit rusty at all of this. Of course I could always be patient and wait for you to compile a new binary but I thought I could give it a go :-)

The current release isn’t very far behind master and includes installers for Windows as well as multiple Unix environments, but here’s the basics:

Requirements:

• Visual Studio (2022 preferred)
• Node.js LTS version (current is 16.13.2) required to build the UI

Building
You can build and run in Visual Studio directly (free community version should work fine).

Or you can build via command line using the following as long as you have
the .net 6 SDK installed which includes the build tools (msbuild & dotnet command):

dotnet build

To build and publish for a specific environment:

Windows
dotnet publish ./Binner.sln -r win10-x64 -c Release --self-contained

Raspberry PI
dotnet publish ./Binner.sln -r linux-arm -c Release --self-contained

Ubuntu
dotnet publish ./Binner.sln -r ubuntu.14.04-x64 -c Release --self-contained

Linux
dotnet publish ./Binner.sln -r linux-x64 -c Release --self-contained

The published build will be located in Binner.Web/bin/Release/net6.0/win10-x64/publish (replace win10-x64 with the environment you built)

To install as a Windows service simply run the exe with the install argument:
./Binner.Web.exe install
and start the service manually or:
./Binner.Web.exe start

The tech stack is .net 6 (core) and React for the UI.

The UI will build in visual studio automatically, however to build the UI manually:

cd Binner.Web\ClientApp
npm run build

Really helpful, thank you so much. I actually didn't realise you'd made a pre-release available and so I'm giving it a go. It's working very well so far and the service is actually running on Windows startup now, which is great! :)
