Would you be able to provide a raspberry pi image for a 3B+? I'm new to raspberry pi and I'm having trouble installing the code. I would like to just be able to burn the image to a SD card plug it in power on the pie with a network cable and a USB cable in Walla everything works.

SolarThing will never be completely plug and play since there is configuring to do for whatever setup you go with. The installation page has a single command you can run to install solarthing along with a separate command to run to get your user added to the correct group.

Since CouchDB isn't recommended to run on the pi, I don't have that automatically setup. A lot of stuff is left up to the user for configuring. I may one day create a raspberry pi image with everything installed, but it wouldn't be that much more different than what it's like now and wouldn't be something I wanted to maintain.

If you have problems running the install script, you can always paste errors here and I will help you out, usually within a day.

I'll keep the idea in mind for an RPi image, but it's not high on my list of priorities.
