This project is designed to easily generate bootable SD card images from a plain "Raspbian" original image, with additional software already installed and configured. The output images are made available for download and flashing onto an SD card (see below).
You can do this from the GitHub repository directly by opening a pull request, which will trigger a new image to be built.
The Public Lab Pi Camera Kit includes an operating system which is built upon the efforts of many people.
The build scripts have been forked from the Hypriot project.
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

Easy pull request build process
The easiest way to generate a new image is to open a pull request with changes to the basic image; a new one will be generated by GitLab and be available for download and flashing onto an SD card. See pull requests for examples of this, with downloadable images already built.
Automatic build: For the purposes of facilitating quick development of this image, we've setup automatic builds on git commits to master branch.
Download the latest development build here.
Pre-requisites for running locally: You'll need to have Docker installed.
make sd-image
This will create an image called hypriotos-rpi-dirty.img.zip.
You can use the cross-platform Etcher program to flash the output images onto an SD card: https://etcher.io
You can also use the Hypriot flash tool
git clone https://github.com/hypriot/flash
cd flash
./flash ~/location_of/hypriotos-rpi-dirty.img.zip
Place the flashed microSD card into your Pi device, power it up and give it a minute or two to start the embedded access point 00-PiCamera, with password publiclab.
Once you are connected to this wifi network, the Pi has hostname pi with IP address 172.24.1.1 and can be reached with from the pi.local or pi.localdomain address (either avahi or dns).
By default a user called publiclab is created with same password.
Features:
- ssh service on port 22
- Lighthttp on port 80
- Flash tool can customize image at flash time
Desired in the short term:
- Camera is pre-enabled
- USB OTG is also enabled (with IP address
192.168.7.2)
