SD Image of the Time Server

[izivkov]

It would be great if we can create a Pi / Pi-zero SD image with a scripts to setup time. Could be a Python or a Linux Shell scripts.

The user can simply flash the image to an SD card and boot the Pi, making it into a Time Server.

@harlock974 , do you think you will be interested to work on this?

[harlock974]

Yes, I think it will not be that difficult

Suggested procedure :

• installation of minimal Raspbian system on Raspberry
• installation of GshockTimeServer
• activation of user auto connection (with raspi-config)
• add an auto launcher in /home/pi/.profile :

if (($(ps u|grep -c gshock)==1));then
    python3 path/to/gshock_server.py&
fi

Ok, these looks good. One thing I like to fix in the current Python code is to enable automatic time sync, so the watch can sunc by itself. You can take a look at how to handle this, and I'll respond properly when I get back next week

@harlock974 So, your approach looks good. But before we create the SD, I like to fix the following:

Do you have time to work on this?

[harlock974]

I am not very comfortable with Python so I prefer you do it.

👍

I'll take care of the Python code. You can just go ahead and make the SD. We can update the python script later.

Thanks
