After some years of openplotter development we have learned some lessons. The most important thing to avoid is having too much food on your plate to be able to crate a stable system. If I am not wrong what lysmarine has done is completely rewritten the pi-gen script from raspberry. That is the script used to generate Raspberry OS images (current 32 bit and future 64 bit). Re-written this script is only justified if you want to support multiple boards or multiple Debian derivatives and that is really great but maintaining multiple distributions is a huge task. Raspberry team is set by 62 contributors, some of them full time, just to maintain Raspberry OS.
We decided to focus only on distributing a complete openplotter system on Raspberry OS based on the current openmarine dev team resources. That will allow us to focus on openplotter features and we have just to make sure openplotter apps work on Raspberry OS and on most used Debian derivatives like Ubuntu. Raspberry and Ubuntu dev teams will do the hard work for us.
In other words, we already have a CI and its name is pi-gen. Where we just have to add openplotter packages. The plan is having a dedicated server to build openplotter images for raspberry nightly but we will wait for the Raspbian OS 64 bits version to set it because there are still some issues to fix.
Do not get me wrong, your work looks amazing but it is also scary.
I was trying to show you that you do not need dedicated
server and hardware. You can set up nightly build for free already
and deploy packages and image to cloudsmith for free.
Those were examples of how to create it for arm32 and arm64.
You can run pi-gen this way.
