RPi-Cam

A sample project for a recent python version working with libcamera support in docker.

Build

This project required the buildx docker driver for different target platforms. You can either use buildx or build the image on a Raspberry PI. I recommend to use buildx if you don't want to wait hours for the build to complete.

Install qemu support

docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all

Build the image

 docker buildx build --progress=plain --platform=linux/arm/v7 --load -t rpi-cam -f Dockerfile .

Run the image you build yourself

docker run --rm --name rpi-cam -it rpi-cam

Using the pre-build image

Take a look at the docker-compose.yml to see which devices/volumes are required for this container to work. Then either run or work on something yourself:

docker compose up

If you don't want to use compose, you can always use this:

docker run --rm --name rpi-cam -it ghcr.io/maximilian-staab/rpi-cam:latest
