Further Link is a web server application, intended to run on pi-top hardware, which allows communicating with the device from pi-top Further.

The primary use case of this is to remotely run Further user's code (python3 usually) on the pi-top, with full interactivity via a websocket api.

Additional features include uploading files; interactive shell sessions; additional IO capabilities, such as video output and keyboard event input, though an inbuilt python library (see examples).

further-link is included out-of-the-box with pi-topOS.

Ensure that you keep your system up-to-date to enjoy the latest features and bug fixes.

This application is installed as a Python 3 script that is managed by a systemd service, configured to automatically run on startup and restart during software updates.

further-link is installed out of the box with pi-topOS, which is available from pi-top.com. To install on Raspberry Pi OS or other operating systems, check out the Using pi-top Hardware with Raspberry Pi OS page on the pi-top knowledge base.

Please refer to the additional documentation for more information about the application.
