This is a Python server script that captures a video stream from a Pi Camera and serves it as a .mjpg through a control website to another device. Part of the My Naturewatch project in collaboration with the RCA.
Add a blank file named ssh to the boot folder on the SD card
Follow the guide created by gbaman to set up OTG ethernet over USB serial https://gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a
- Docker installed on Raspbian Stretch https://gist.github.com/mikevanis/e360f45e394674b59d663fdf0470d42f
Build the docker container
docker-compose build
Run the config setup python script. This will reboot the pi
sudo python3 NaturewatchCameraServer/cfgsetup.py
The website is then accessible through its hostname:
http://raspberrypi.local/
Be sure to replace raspberrypi.local with whatever hostname the Pi has.
You can run tests directly on the Raspberry pi to test the various functions of the software as well as the API. After building the container, run the tests with pytest.
docker run \
--device /dev/vcsm --device /dev/vchiq \
-p 5000:5000 \
-v ~/data:/naturewatch_camera_server/static/data \
naturewatchcameraserver \
pytest -v naturewatch_camera_server/
