We actually have a RPi-specific installer called “Kegberry”, which makes a lot of simplifying assumptions for you. Have you given those instructions a shot? In your case, I’d follow method #2.
Ya I’ve been looking at that this morning. From what I understand though, is that I won’t be able to use the Android that is running the kegbot software that allows the photos/nfc/pour notifications still?
I should follow up by stating that my current build is a two tap system with a kegboard, flow sensors, etc, that I bought from Kegbot a year ago. I’m just rebuilding the software and having a hard time.
You can definitely use Rapsberry Pi and Android concurrently!
Kegberry makes it possible to use Kegbot without a tablet – letting you plug the controllers directly into the RPi. However if you don’t do this, it’s just like any other Linux box running kegbot-server.
Be warned that the RPi is a little underpowered (though there are many happy bots using it this way).
Great news
I tried to set up a kegserver on a mac mini that I have running plex, but I’ve been having issues getting that up and running python? I’ll have to retry and see if I can get that going and then just walk away.
Any word on Keghub and if that will ever get off the ground?
