Changelog

Changes in build 2023.10.09.154319 from 2023-10-09

• OctoPrint updated to 1.9.3

Changes in build 2023.07.20.144556 from 2023-07-20

• camera-streamer updated to 0.2.5
  • Heads-up: camera-streamer 0.2.5 added a new parameter --http-listen to define which network interfaces to listen on, and by default only listens on localhost. If you have cameras configured that are currently not behind haproxy on the same device, you'll need to add --http-listen=0.0.0.0 to the OPTIONS of your camera config. The docs have been updated accordingly.
• user-fix fixed #8

❗ Please note

This image needs to be flashed to your SD card, wiping it in the process. So if you want to keep anything on there, make a backup first! You can also create an OctoPrint backup, download that, flash, restore from backup. There's no way to update to the contents of this image without a full reflash.

Please provide feedback on your experience with this image in this ticket, whether things work for you or not. Make sure to at least include the following:

• Everything working?
• Pi model
• used cameras
• in case of issues: related logs (journalctl -u camera-streamer\* | pb and share the generated paste.octoprint.org URL)

Known issues:

• ayufan/camera-streamer#94 (this is currently considered a blocker for general roll-out of this camera stack, as it causes the camera stream to crash)

Common pitfalls:

• RPiV3 camera not auto-focusing? Make sure any kind of case you've added to it is not interfering with the lens & sensor
