Raspbian + photobooth autoinstall #144

Closed wikijm closed 5 years ago

Hi @reuterbal

I would like to propose a solution that would allow us to:

This method of setting up the Photobooth would be based on the PiBakery software (https://www.pibakery.org/index.html)

Here is the result of a 1st version, mostly based on your install instructions: image

What do you think? If you're interested, I don't know what the most appropriate form would be. To integrate in the INSTALL.md file? In the Wiki? Both?

reuterbal commented 5 years ago

That is an excellent idea. I have a few suggestions:

I'd prefer to have the instructions in a wiki page - moving all the installation instructions to the wiki is on my todo list (you could do that if you want and find the time?!). In the long run I want to have only a bare minimum in the INSTALL.md file (like requirements and only the platform-independent part about the software).

I prepared an Installation page with the rough structure into subpages that I would like to have. Feel free to include the Pibakery option as a possible installation path in the Raspberry Pi specific documentation.

* Is it possible to force the user to specify a password for the user `pi`? (to make sure people don't run the photobooth with default password enabled)

Yes, like this: image

* Include [raspap](https://raspap.com/) into the installation

Done

  • The "on every boot" section can be reduced to a single "run command": /home/pi/photobooth/.venv/bin/python -m photobooth --run No need to change the directory or activate the venv before that. Done too I'd prefer to have the instructions in a wiki page - moving all the installation instructions to the wiki is on my todo list (you could do that if you want and find the time?!). In the long run I want to have only a bare minimum in the INSTALL.md file (like requirements and only the platform-independent part about the software).

Were are in the same page for this 😉

Hi @reuterbal

I've just added some text on the Wiki:

If it's OK, i will close this issue.

reuterbal commented 5 years ago

That looks very good, thank you! My suggestion would be to have the link to your PiBakery-Page at the top of https://github.com/reuterbal/photobooth/wiki/Installation-on-Raspberry-Pi (since this is specific for Raspi) but we can leave it like that for now. Feel free to close the issue.

I just applied what you recommended. I took the opportunity to re-link to the INSTALL.md history file for the more adventure-seeker.
