automated camera for daily photos of construction site

Hello everyone, looks like we will start on building our dream home this year. I do want to set up a raspberry for automated photo shooting from the construction site. One picture per day is enough, I do want to create a timelapse video afterwards. The new neighbour is a friend, he allowed me to set up the camera in his house facing the construction site. Only problem he does not have a power supply at his window...

Anyone having experience with a solar module and a battery to power the raspi? Feel free to share your jdeas!

What OS is best for a beginner to degoogle?
  • If you know how to use containers then go for debian as the server OS and run everything you need as containers.

    Debian is community based distro, very stable, major updates every few years, ubuntu and other distros use it as a base.

    Get familiar with working on the command line, try nano as an easy text editor und use docker compose.

    I did not test TrueNAS, I do know the scale version can run containers too, but I do not know how stable ur usable it is. You should go for the classic linux approach with Debian. Much more fun to learn :)

  • sudo without password when connected via ssh

    Hello everyone, I am running Debian on my home server and I also do have a raspberrpi with raspberry pi os.

    When I do connect to my raspberry via ssh (with keys, not password) I do not need to enter a password when I do run a command with sudo.

    Someone here can guie me on how to replicate that behaviour on Debian 12 stable?

    Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative)
  • First i tried nextcloudpi image but couldn't get it to run with beneath pihole (same raspi).

    Then I tried the AIO Image, this one seems to not even start at all. I found I have to open ports on the router. Will try again later this day.

  • Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative)

    Hello everyone,

    Since my daughter was born I am searching for a solution to share pictures of our child with my wife and create a copy of each smartphones photos and other files (documents). At first I tried nextcloud, but there is a lot of overhead and the administration feels kind of complex for what I need.

    Anyone else having some input on which software to use?

    So my main goal is:

    Software running on raspberry pi (preferable docker). Has abilities like shared folder where pictures and documents get uploaded from multiple users and can be viewed (collaboration editing is not needed). Automatically copy files from smartphone (android) to raspberry from selected folder for a simple redundancy.
