About

Trillium is a free, open source web app for robotics.

Web

You can run the web version of trillium a number of ways.

1. Visit the Github hosted online page: https://pdragy.github.io/trillium This page will always be running at the tip of the 'main' branch, built and deployed using the github actions defined in the .github directory.
2. Run it offline locally, by downloading the packaged site in the Releases section of Github, and serving it on your machine. For example on linux:

unzip trillium.zip
python -m http.server 8080 --directory trillium

3. Build and run the docker container locally:

docker build -t trillium .
docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 trillium

For 2 or 3, visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

For more ways to build and run the code, see CONTRIBUTING.md

Desktop

In the Releases section in Github, download the latest installer for your platform. There is not MacOS installer (yet).

To build the Desktop application, see CONTRIBUTING.md

Extensions

A number of extensions are available and installable directly in your browser or in the Desktop app. To view and manage these, go to Trillium->Settings->Extensions.

History and related projects

Trillium is a fork of Foxglove, and Foxglove was built/copied from webviz. Last known release of open-sourced Foxglove studio v1 before it was deleted and taken private was 1.87.0, and last commit was 56620d2

Foxglove v1.87.0 is availabile under the Mozilla Public License v2.0.

Lichtblick is another fork of Foxglove, maintained by BMW. It became the parent repo of foxglove/studio forks when foxglove/studio commit history was deleted.

There are many differences between Trillium and Lichtblick. A quick one to note is the size differences, the uncompressed trillium web app is more than 40% smaller than lichtblick's. If you factor out the size of the common base image (caddy:2.5.2-alpine, 45MB) then it is nearly 60% smaller.
