Backup and Restore BCS-460, BCS-462, and BCS-482 brew controller devices running 4.x firmware.

• This utility must be run locally (not from a hosted HTTPS site like github pages) to communicate with your BCS device over HTTP.
• Authentication must be disabled on your BCS device for this utility to work. The browser's CORS restrictions prevent authenticated requests from working properly.
• After backup/restore, you can re-enable authentication on your BCS.

This is a static web application that communicates directly with BCS brewery controllers via their REST API.

The application uses:

• Pug for HTML templating
• Stylus for CSS preprocessing
• jQuery for DOM manipulation
• Async.js for managing sequential API calls
• BCS library (loaded externally) for device communication

• Node.js

npm install

npm run build   # Build the project (compile Pug, Stylus, concat JS)
npm run watch   # Watch for changes and rebuild automatically

Or using npx directly:

npx grunt
npx grunt watch

After building, start a local server:

npm start       # Serves site/ on http://localhost:3000
