Remarkable 2: Screen sharing without having a subscription

I never could use Remarkable’s built-in screen sharing, even when I had a Connect subscription. Then I found goMarkableStream by Olivier Wulveryck, which enables viewing a tablet’s screen on a browser tab.

Using Zoom or Webex, I share my Google Chrome browser window that mirrors my remarkable’s screen.

Launch

All the steps I do to view my remarkable’s screen on a web browser (assuming the IP address of the remarkable is 192.168.1.17) are:

• cd ~/opt/remarkable
• RK_SERVER_ADDR=192.168.1.17:2000 ./goMarkableClient
• Then navigating to http://localhost:8080/

But before that, you need a one-time setup as described below.

One-time Setup

On Remarkable 2

• Make sure the remarkable is connected to the wifi.
• Find the IP address, the username (which is root), and password of the remarkable 2 from Menu/Settings/Help/Copy right license

In Terminal

Assuming the IP address of the tablet is 192.168.1.17, and the latest version is 0.6.3):

• Create a directory:
  mkdir -p ~/opt/remarkable && cd ~/opt/remarkable
