Now that I have xLights being built fine within docker (see Automatic testing of xLights builds via Travis-CI/Docker/Github) the next step is to package up the application as an appimage binary so that it can easily be run on varied linux systems.
It is being built based on Ubuntu Trusty and has been tested to work on Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, Fedora 25 and OpenSuse 42.2 (and should hopefully work pretty much anywhere else as well)
xLights is a free and open source program that enables you to design, create and play amazing lighting displays through the use of DMX controllers, E1.31 Ethernet controllers and more.
With it you can layout your display visually then assign effects to the various items throughout your sequence. This can be in time to music (with beat-tracking built into xLights) or just however you like. Currently xLights runs on Windows, OSX and Linux
