Description Alexandru Damian 2013-11-27 11:14:50 UTC 
Toaster UI must be able to run remotely as a precursor for remoteing a bitbake server.

This means that the UI must not run any commands or read any files on the local filesystem. All the code that reads data from the local system must be executed in toaster.bbclass and send data through asynchronous events.
Comment 1 Alexandru Damian 2013-12-02 14:06:35 UTC 
In review poky-contrib: toaster/master.
Comment 2 Alexandru Damian 2013-12-30 13:29:57 UTC

Comment 3 Belen Barros Pena 2014-01-09 10:22:05 UTC 
Test case for this bug (provided by Alex):

Start everything manually, with the UI in another directory.

e.g.

> Terminal 1

source oe-build-init-env 
bitbake --postread conf/toaster.conf --server-only -t xmlrpc -B localhost:8200

> Terminal 2, a different build/ directory, maybe on a different machine 

export BBASEDIR=  [ location of poky/bitbake directory checkout ]
python $BBBASEDIR/lib/toaster/manage.py syncdb
python $BBBASEDIR/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate orm
export BBSERVER=localhost:8200
BBSERVER= bitbake --observe-only -u toasterui &
python $BBBASEDIR/lib/toaster/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Toaster should be available on port  8000 of the machine hosting Terminal 2.
