Did you follow a tutorial you could link here? Thanks! e: I should add, I’ve been running pihole in Docker using macvlan and now I want to run everything that way. Is that a bad idea?

Not sure where this question should go but I’ll start here. I created a standalone Pi camera for my wife for her birthday. She loves taking pics, video, time-lapse, etc and the raspberry pi with camera module was something I had already and I went ahead and made her one using a github project I found. You can control the camera completely through a web interface hosted on the pi. Works great on WiFi in our house. But I was thinking, if we take it on a trip it would be cool to just have it use our iphones hotspot. Of course, then the phone can’t talk to it, since the devices on the network are rightly segregated. I was thinking of getting around this using a vpn or wireguard maybe? Two devices could be on the same network that way, correct? It doesn’t need a lot of bandwidth, it’s a really simple interface on the pi in html on Apache on port 80. We’d wait until we got home to get stuff off of it. Does this sound feasible? Is there an easier way I’m not thinking of? Bonus points for being able to do it completely offline, like if we were in a remote area out of cell range, but that isn’t strictly necessary. Let’s start off saying the phone will I’ve internet access. edit: Here's the software I used in case it helps/matters https://github.com/silvanmelchior/RPi_Cam_Web_Interface https://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface#Installation_Instructions namlosh fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 17, 2020 |

mobby_6kl posted:If I'm understanding your setup correctly, you should be still able to access the camera if it's connected to your iphone hotspot. But maybe it's an iphone thing. Hmmmm, I hadn’t thought of that. Making the pi camera a WiFi hot spot and having the iPhone connect to it would be a way to go. Wouldn’t need internet while it’s just controlling the camera. Is there an easy setting for configuring the pi as a WiFi hot spot? If anyone knows chime in, but I’m sure I can google it. Thanks!

Pertinent to the discussion, I’ll also suggest going with Docker. It rules. Look into PORTAINER.io while you’re at it. I like it. Buuuut, I ran into an annoying problem that seems to be platform specific with the network driver. For maximum separation, I wanted to run everything in containers using a MacVlan network, which works great until you try to add a second container to it. I looked all over for a solution to the problem but couldn’t find any. The only way I was successful was to use an old laptop with full Ubuntu server on it. Then I was able to get multiple containers working on the same macvlan network. Maybe they’ll fix it soon, but I don’t have my hopes up. It’s broken on MacOS as well and has been for a while unless anybody has any suggestions.

Warbird posted:Are you doing it manually or with yaml? I would assume it would just me a matter of passing the network as the custom macvlan which ought to be easy enough via docker-compose. I have tried both... neither worked... docker-compose didn’t even work on the Ubuntu machine I’m pretty sure I did it right, even though I’m not an expert. It gave me a weird kernel error, which I googled and it seemed to point to a bug in the network driver. Same for when I tried on macOS. Couldn’t even find any reference to people running multiple containers in a macvlan network on a pi. At least not where I looked... maybe my google-fu is failing me. I’d love to be proven wrong if someone says they have it working and can post the docker create commands. That’s how I knew something was up. Phone posting so I can’t easily find it but there was an example of creating two alpine containers and having one ping the other and it just would not work on a pi OR macOS. Worked fine on Ubuntu

mod sassinator posted:Something to consider too, if you're going down the rabbit hole of segmenting your docker containers into individual vlans, etc. you might just want to go full kubernetes. In the kubernetes world you get strict container network segmentation (well, reasonably strict.. it depends on your cluster), service discovery with DNS, and all kinds of other great stuff for free. With k3s, k3d, kind, minikube, etc. it's very straightforward to get a kubernetes cluster up and running even on a Pi (IMHO try k3s, it's a good balance of power and ease of use). These days I just use docker for simple single container or one-off things, and when stuff gets more complex I go straight to k8s. Is kubernetes applicable to something like a pihole or vpn server? If so, got any recommendations for tutorials?

The only thing I’ve found that it really does break is a lot of the “deals” sites... sites that list discounts for stuff and when you click to get more info, they send you through a gauntlet of redirects so that they can get $ from a bunch of different affiliates or whatever. Pihole can stop those dead, so if you really want to buy/see the item, you’ll have to disable it for a bit or add a bunch of sites to whitelist. In my case, it gives me a pause to think about whether I really need more crap... so I love the issue, but YMMV

Fwiw, I just installed Volumio onto a pi3b and it’s amazing. The girlfriend loves the interface and the tons of webradio stations she can get. I had an old receiver with hdmi so just hooked it up that way (just for audio). I even bought the iOS app and that works great. We are not Spotify users... I just set up a share to my iTunes library. She loves it.

Does anybody have a recommendation on a high quality camera for a pi? I was looking at this one: https://www.microcenter.com/product/621303/raspberry-pi-hq-camera-for-raspberry-pi-4 But it’s out of stock locally and then on Amazon I saw a bunch of others that seemed nice or better. Does anyone have any experience with any other ones or is this my best bet? We’ve been using one of our pi’s with the standard camera to take time lapses… it’s pretty awesome. We left it running during a thunderstorm and got a couple of really good lightning pictures that I’ll never get tired of I’m now looking to upgrade

I know the main problem is trying to use retropie (lakka and recallbox do this much better =I think) - but I'm just interested in forcing it through as a hobby at this point! Man I wish I could help here… I tried for a while to get the pi working with my CRT with some success. But most of that knowledge is now gone. I’m surprised /r/crt_gaming isn’t able to help. There was a guy making custom retropi images called RGBPI that seemed to solve a lot of the setup problems. Plus, I was using the Gert vga 666 rather than an hdmi converter. It seemed like it worked fine, but I was interested in arcade games and those can be incredibly fiddly to get working right. I will say that you may be at the mercy of the converter for most settings and I’d be surprised if tweaking “front porch” or any of that crt timings stuff would have an affect at all. Good luck!

I made one and couldn’t believe how easy and amazing it was. By made, I mean I put the camera on the pi and flashed the Sd card. It was almost totally turnkey. Can’t imagine using a webcam would be too different. I’ll have to look it up later, but you should be able to find it. PiCam or something… I think this thread tipped me off to it

FWIW, I have a pi running VolumIO upstairs for the bedroom and I hooked up the line-in of an amp using one of those HDMI -> VGA/Composite adaptors that does audio as well. It chugs along and works / sounds great. Does the thread have a recommendation for something to power 4-5 Pi’s in close proximity to each other? I found a pi rack mount thing for cheap and want to put my pi’s in it in an organized way and power them all from the same adapter. I was thinking about it and I guess the theoretical max draw could be something like 10 amps at 5V? lol. So I’m hoping to get something that others have used and not burned their house down.

I had considered POE, I have some open POE ports on my switch, but it requires buying a hat for each one, right? I'm trying to keep costs down since I don't really have any idea what I'm going to use these Pi's for anyway. I used to use them for a bunch of stuff, but ended up setting up a couple of old laptops as a home lab and everything runs on those in containers now. ante posted:If I were to consider using a Raspi for a home theatre setup, is that an actual good solution? lol, it's all good by me. The make vs buy decision can be tough sometimes. Is the pi4 8gb good enough for surfing around and watching youtube videos at 1080p? I'm currently running an old TV in my "lab" (spare room) using an ancient chromebook (Acer C720 I think? celeron processor) running Lubuntu and I'm curious whether a pi would be better in any way.
