Useful scripts for setting up brewpi and tiltHydrometer

Primary LanguageShellMIT LicenseMIT

Automated install of brewpi and docker on Raspberry Pi.

Note: The latest version does not have tilt support (yet). For Tilt Hydrometer support, see release v0.1

Note: release v0.1 was tested on v0.4.4 of Brewpi code. It might work if applied to the v0.5.5 brewpi code inside the container, but that has not been tried or tested here.
