  • nginx or other webserver

required hardware

  • gphoto2 compatible camera

Installation

tricks

  • nikon-dslrs tend to keep measuring up when on USB. this will empty the battery incredibly fast!! by using uhubctl https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl you can completely switch of power on usb-ports
  • read-only filesystem helps keeping filesystem getting corrupted when switching it off improperly
  • pics/background1.jpg is the default background of the photobox
