Raspberry Pi

Bootstrap checklist for the edge device

Keep the Pi lean for phase 1: stable camera capture, reliable network, and repeatable stream publishing matter more than extra features.

  1. Install Raspberry Pi OS Lite and update packages.
  2. Enable camera support, SSH, and a stable hostname.
  3. Install libcamera, ffmpeg, and required networking tools.
  4. Validate local H.264 capture before publishing remotely.
  5. Publish RTSP to MediaMTX and confirm WebRTC playback from the browser.
