feat: integrate Electron for desktop application support
- Added Electron entry point in `electron/main.js` to run the Express server in-process and open the main application window. - Updated `package.json` to include Electron dependencies and scripts for building and running the application. - Refactored server startup logic into `server/start.js` for better modularity and to support both CLI and Electron usage. - Implemented environment variable handling for database and image paths to accommodate Electron's packaging. - Created a script `server/scripts/promote-morphix.js` to merge admin and morphix accounts into a single user. - Adjusted image root path resolution in `server/media/images.js` to allow for environment variable overrides. - Cleaned up `server/index.js` to delegate server initialization to the new `startServer` function.

## Electron (desktop / Pi)
|
||||
|
||||
The Master view also runs as a standalone Electron app. The Express + WebSocket
|
||||
server boots inside the Electron main process; controllers/panels on other
|
||||
devices on the LAN connect to it normally.
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm install # postinstall rebuilds better-sqlite3 for Electron's ABI
|
||||
npm run electron # builds web assets and launches Electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Packaging (Windows installer + Linux AppImage for Pi targets):
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm run dist:win # NSIS installer
|
||||
npm run dist:linux # AppImage for x64 / arm64 / armv7l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In packaged builds, the DB and image cache live under `app.getPath('userData')`
|
||||
(`%APPDATA%/Online Radio Explorer` on Windows, `~/.config/Online Radio Explorer`
|
||||
on Linux). In `npm run electron` dev mode the existing repo `data/` directory
|
||||
is reused.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout
|
||||
|
||||
- `server/` — Express, SQLite, WebSocket hub, source adapters, stream resolver.
