PiSTAR

Just some scripts to quickly set all my astrophotography software. Works on Pi's version of Debian 12 (bullseye) -- compiles and runs smoothly on my RPi5.

Includes

• Indi
  • By default compiles all 3rd party libs, but not all 3rd party drivers. The "biuld.sh" file will help you build any new drivers you need. Just run build.sh <name of driver> I.E. build.sh indi-toupbase.
• PHD2
• KStars
• StellerSolver

Notes/Thoughts

With the RPi 5's PCI-E slot I can attach an M.2 drive and write all images to it. Cron job then moves them off to my home server. I can run everything off the PI and VNC in to work with KStars as needed.

These types of scripts tend to age poorly. They're not very resilient and rot quickly. As package names change, dependencies evolve, etc. So YMMV if you decide to use it. I will update it as I need to, but its not something I will maintain regularly. Just on-demand when I'm provisioning something new.
