- \textbf{RPI 3 Portable Camera Station}
- \section{Overview}
- Use an RPI3, put in waterproof enclosure, add wifi or mobile cell internet, connect to mains, and have portable recording setup. Just add power.
-
- \section{RPI3 Install}
- Fundamentally flawed. First, when I plugged in the RPI, I forgot to plug in the HDMI to the monitor for the first minute. This means I was late, and the HDMI never showed up. This required a hard reboot of the RPI. Flaw 1.
-
- Flaw 2: The default password for most Ubuntu distributions is ubuntu with a blank password. In RPI3 image, it is ubuntu:ubuntu. However, this information is only on the RPI Ubuntu official guide. A readme file in the releases directory would've been better. With these two flaws 5-10 minutes of my life to stupid shit.
-
- \subsection{Steps}
- Remove restricted repos. Update the pi. To remove restricted, use a sed. sed 's/restricted//g' input > output. If you are lucky unattended upgrades won't start on you, otherwise you have to wait until it finishes.
- \begin{verbatim}
- Stop the automatic updater.
-
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
-
- \end{verbatim}
- I also required another reboot. Finally, I can update the system.
-
- After all this, I realized that Debian 9 has in ZMRepo (but not in the official Debian repos) support for MP4 encoding. I'm moving to Debian.
-
- EDIT: However, getting an image for Debian 9 is not trivial. It's a bit crazy what they want you to do... Generate image using a script, etc.. Where's just an image? In fact, there's only an image for buster right now. Nope, just nope.
-
- Back to Ubuntu. This device can be obsolete in a year, I don't care. By then, I will have a new image with Debian 9 or 10. I could try the Devuan image which is pre-made, but I am not that bold (or foolish).
-
- \subsubsection{End of Life for 19.04}
- EOL is 9 months from release. Not bad. It came out two months ago. Then you can update to 19.10, and then to 20.04. I can live with this.
