Running MotionEye on Raspberry Pi

These are my notes from about a year ago and they are a little too brief.

The .dib file seems to have my best notes, but it doesn't open in VS Code Insiders. I think VS Code now uses the .ipynb suffix and they may have abandoned their .dib syntax, so I'll have to update that.

The most reliable path seems to be:

  • Install Raspbian on the sd card
  • Start the Pi
  • Install Docker
  • Install MotionEye container in Docker on the Raspberry Pi

I had went through the script to install MotionEye on Debian, but there are conflicts with Python 2 and 3 that aren't handled in the tutorial on GitHub.

It was much easier to get MotionEye installed using the Docker image running on Debian.

I can't access the camera yet but the site is up and running.

MotionEyeOS hasn't been updated in a few years. There are some other ones, but they don't seem well maintained.

Until you get WiFi connections working very reliably, it is best to be able to SSH connect through USB.
