I've installed the current Windows version of BluOs under Wine on my Mint Linux installation.

When I run the BluOS Controller an hour glass appears for a short moment - and then nothing happens.

Anyone who has installed BluOS under Wine / Linux?

  OK - I've got the Windows client up and running under Wine. But the firewall seems to block the communication.

  I have to switch of the ufw firewall to connect. What ports should be open?

  I was able to get BluOS-Controller-Setup-3.4.9.exe to work without any major issue on Wine but BluOS-Controller-Setup-3.8.1.exe crashes on startup.

  This is wine-3.0.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.

  Its a pity there is no native version for Linux since

  1) It is available for just about every other platform, so how hard can it be to add this one?

  2) The Node II etc runs Linux internally. So, at least show some gratitude to the open-source software ecosystem that made this possible.

  I simply do not understand why the BlueOs does not have a proper HTML interface to access the node via a browser?!

  I've made my own interface in javascript, and placed it on my NAS.

  Rusic - but it works from any browser

  If your interested, I patched and re-packaged the BluOS Controller for linux. See the following discussion:
