Hello everyone, For those interested, and almost 5 years after my last message on this topic (https://sourceforge.net/p/gphoto/mailman/message/29275276/), a new version of Webcampak was released over the past few weeks. Webcampak is a time-lapse photography appliance aimed at assisting photographers and film-makers in their long-term time-lapse projects. It can perform various activities such as on-the-fly picture manipulation, video creation and is equipped with various mechanisms to prevent picture loss. It can be installed either on embedded x86 computers directly connected to a D-SLR camera or in a datacenter and serve as a central server for multiple on-site cameras. Same than before, our entire codebase is open-source, this time we made further efforts (better installation script, more structured repository, better documentation) to ease installation by anyone with basic GNU/Linux skills. Webcampak remains an "appliance", it's composed of a set of tools (including Gphoto2 and its command line for communication with USB cameras), pre-configured to serve identified use cases and controlled by a small piece of software we developed. To get started, simply spin up a new VM with a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 Server (with a user "webcampak"), and run the script available here: https://github.com/Webcampak/core/blob/develop/install/install.Ubuntu16.04.sh #> bash install.Ubuntu16.04.sh We would be curious to hear feedback from the community. As you might suspect, we always tend to install on similar hardware, always following an installation procedure we got very familiar with, so getting a fresh set of eyes and discovering new use cases will definitely help us improve the software. Some resources: - GitHub repo: https://github.com/Webcampak/core (entry point, git submodules are used for various components) - Documentation: http://doc.webcampak.com/webcampak3.x/web/en/ Feel free to get in touch through GitHub or via email.
