This is a lightweight installation manager for pkg files. It comes with a fully dynamic front-end using only jquery, jquery-ui and js-cookie (for storing tasks). NodeJS/NPM is the only component required to run the webserver.

The manager can run on a headless server (no desktop needed). Ideally this server should be have direct and fast access to pkg files!

• NodeJS
• NPM (Node Package Manager)
• PS4 Remote Package Installer

1. Clone repository, cd into extracted directory
2. Install modules: npm install
3. Edit config.json (see below)
4. Start server:

• To start in foreground (e.g. in screen): node index.js
• To start in background: nohup node index.js &

Edit config.json:

• pkgfolder: Full path to the folder containing your pkg files, must be accessible from server!
• myip: IP address of your server
• ps4ip: IP address of your PS4

optional:

• myport: Port of server / landing page

Remember to enable the configured port in your firewall!

With all your devices connected via Gigabit LAN (1000BASE-T) you should be able to reach transfer speeds of more than 20 MB/s. Given that, the installation of a 40GB pkg file takes around 30 mins.

To optimize transfer speed check the following points:

1. Server has 'fast' access to the configured pkgfolder, either directly or via Gigabit connection (for SMB share make sure to use SMB v3.0)
2. Server and PS4 are connected to eachother via Gigabit LAN (1000 Mbit/s router/switch + Cat 5e/6/7 cables)

Needed: Docker

1. Edit docker-compose.yml with your data (host ip , ps4 ip , path to pkgs ...)
2. Run docker-compose up -d

• 'Unable to set up prerequisites for package': Make sure that patched Kernel (e.g. unofficial Mira) is loaded, also check that the package file name does not contain any special characters!
• UI does not update: Remote Package Installer needs to be running in the foreground for UI status updates! Make sure it's not hanging: restart it by pressing and holding the PS button, close application and launching again.

Credit goes to flatz for creating the Remote Package Installer!
