teddyCloud #
Features #
teddyCloud is an alternative server for your Toniebox, allowing you to host the cloud services locally.
This gives you the control about which data is sent to the original manufacturer’s cloud and allows you
to host your own figurine audio files on e.g. your NAS or any other server.
You can also use teddyCloud on the command line to manipulate esp32 firmware dumps or encode Tonie Audio Files (TAFs). See toniecloud --help.
Docker hints #
The docker container automatically generates the server certificates on first run. You can extract the certs/server/ca.der for your box after that.
An example docker-compose.yaml can be found within the docker subdir. Please beware that port 443 cannot be remapped and you cannot use a reverse proxy like nginx or traefik. The client certificate authentication needs to be done by teddyCloud. Also, there is no SNI. If you are using docker, you can use macvlan to give the teddyCloud container a dedicated IP address.
Preparation #
Please connect your Toniebox to your Wi-Fi and update its firmware. Many boxes are shipped with a production firmware that needs to be updated. Otherwise the box won’t work as it should. It is not necessary to connect the box to the mytonies app/account. Connect the box without the setup assistant.
Device specific preparation #
Please check wether you got a Toniebox with a CC3200, CC3235 or ESP32 and continue with the following steps:

Additional #
Content #
Please put your content into the /data/content/default/ in the same structure as on your toniebox. You can edit 500304E0.json file beside the content files to mark them as live or you can prevent the usage of the Boxine cloud for that tag with the nocloud parameter. By setting a source teddyCloud can stream any content that ffmpeg can decode (urls and files). Please check that the file and folders in upper case. If not rename them, otherwise teddyCloud won’t serve them to the box!
Webinterface #
Currently the teddyCloud webinterface is reachable through the IP of the docker container at port 80 or 443 (depending on your docker-compose.yaml). Changes affecting the toniebox (volume, LED) which are made through this interface will only be reflected onto the toniebox after pressing the big ear for a few seconds until a beep occurs.
As an additional frontend is still being developed, you can reach a second frontend at xxx.xxx.xxx/web. Changes made here are instantly live on the box.
