owserver

owserver is part of the One Wire File System.

It connects to 1-wire controllers (of almost any kind) and transmits reading over the network using a special protocol.

Although the original (very complete) documentation is availble on the old site, current development is here.

Installation

debian or ubuntu

apt install owserver

RPM (fedora, suse, redhat..)

package `owfs-server``

Source

C program needs standard autoconf automake, etc

Configuration

owserver will run as a systemd service (althoug it can run directly from the command line)

Configuration at /etc/owfs.config

Typical steps:

  1. attach a 1-wire device
  2. install owserver
  • apt install owserver
  1. edit /etc/owfs.conf to match your setup
  • server address localhost:4304
  • device type (usb, serial, w1, etc)
  1. Start service
systemctl start owserver
systemctl enable owserver
systemctl status owserver
  1. Testing:
apt install owshell
owdir -s localhost:4304
