INFO-BEAMER(1)

👑 info-beamer(1) — an interactive multimedia presenter

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because this little page is the gateway to making your screen do the most. It's info-beamer, a manual page, section 1, and it's giving "presenter that actually slays". 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

info-beamer <root>

That's it. One argument. One directory. Infinite main character energy. 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

info-beamer takes the files and subdirectories hanging out inside whatever directory you hand it as <root>, and displays them according to the Lua script node.lua. That's the whole vibe: you point it at a folder, it reads the script, it renders.

Under the hood it ships a simple yet powerful API so you can display fonts, images, videos and more — like, more more. The full documentation lives at http://info-beamer.org/doc/ if you want to go full academic about it. 📚✨

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

These are the environment variables, aka the little dials you can turn before you even launch. Respect them.

• INFOBEAMER_FULLSCREEN — if you set it to 1, info-beamer starts in fullscreen mode. No window chrome, no distractions, just vibes. 🔥
• INFOBEAMER_ADDR — if you specify it, it only binds to this address. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
• INFOBEAMER_PORT — sets a port for both the TCP and UDP interface. Defaults to 4444.
• INFOBEAMER_PRECOMPILED — if you set it to 1, info-beamer will also load precompiled Lua files.

⚠️ Only use this option if you trust the files being loaded, because precompiled Lua files should be considered unsafe. Like, genuinely. Not me being dramatic. 💀

• INFOBEAMER_FULLSCALE — if you set it to 1, info-beamer ignores the aspect ratio of the screen and scales the root content to the complete size of the screen. Stretch that content, periodt.
• INFOBEAMER_WIDTH — sets the width of the initial screen. Super useful when you're using the fullscreen option above. Defaults to 1024.
• INFOBEAMER_HEIGHT — sets the height of the initial screen. Also super useful when you're using the fullscreen option above. Defaults to 768.

---

🔒 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS 🔒

By default, info-beamer will bind to 0.0.0.0. That is a choice! If you'd rather it didn't, use INFOBEAMER_ADDR to bind to another address. Do it. Be safe. 🫶
