After installing indi-allsky, you can make almost every setting via the user interface. However, there is one tweak that I made directly in the Raspberry Pi OS via the console. I run this under “Starkiller-Killer” – without any reference to Star Wars: The libcamera framework, which enables the Raspberry Pi HQ camera to be controlled, sometimes “kills” smaller stars because it thinks they are pixel errors in the camera sensor. And this is how it works:
Howto: Securing the Raspberry Pi 5
With its versatility and extremely compact size, the Raspberry Pi is ideal for my Allsky camera project. However, as with any internet-enabled device, protection against potential attacks is crucial. Here are what I consider to be the most important measures to ensure the security of a Raspberry Pi 5:
Allsky camera: My basic setup
Having wanted to build my own Allsky camera for a long time, after months of research I decided to just go for it. Here I’ll introduce you to the components I’m using and explain why I decided on exactly this setup.
Raspberry Pi 5 – The basic setup of Pi OS Lite
After the hardware components for my Allsky camera system had slowly but surely all arrived, the next step was to set up the Raspberry Pi 5. Since I’m using Raspberry Pi OS Lite as my operating system – a slimmer version without a graphical user interface – I decided to set it up without a monitor and keyboard, also known as headless setup. Here’s how I went about it.
