PIBaker 🥧

Create Custom Raspberry Pi Images Easily.

I realized that there was no easy way to create a customized Raspberry Pi image. This project was created to make custom images easily without the need for connecting to a real Pi. As well this project makes sure that your images are re-creatable incase you need to make updates and bug fixes in the future.

Features

• 🐋 Cross-Platform Runs on Any machine
• 🖥️ Comes with a emulated Raspberry Pi, anything you can do on a regular Pi you can do here.
• 🤖 Uses Ansible which makes setting up the Pi simple.

Dependencies

These need to be installed to use the program. You can use winget (windows) or apt-get (linux).

🐍 Python 3

• Windows winget install python3
• Linux apt-get install python3

🐋 Docker

• Windows winget install -e --id Docker.DockerDesktop
• Linux Docker Desktop

How to use

1. Clone or download the repository

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/AndreCox/PIBaker.git

2. Move into the PIBaker directory

cd PIBaker

3. Run the setup.py script

python setup.py

4. Monitor the process with Docker Desktop (Optional)

Look for the stack called pibaker you can click on the stack and you should see 2 containers inside. You can monitor the Ansible container, when it is done both containers should stop.

5. A file called distro.img should appear in the dist folder. This is your final bootable image.

Star History

Thank you everyone for staring my project :)

Note

I have had reports that M1 Macs have issues running this software, a work around for now is to run docker inside a Ubuntu VM.
