Starting Toaster

Once we have installed Toaster’s requirements, we are ready to start its server. To do this, we should go to Poky’s directory and run the following commands:

$ source oe-init-build-env
$ source toaster start

The commands take some time to finish. When everything is set up, the web server is started. The result is shown in the following figure.

To access the Toaster web interface, open your favorite browser and enter the following:

http://127.0.0.1:8000

Note

By default, Toaster starts on port 8000. The webport parameter lets you use a different port – for example, $ source toaster start webport=8400.

Next, we can see the starting page of Toaster:
