Fermenter

A Raspberry Pi powered fermentation chamber for brewing beer with a simple and slick web interface.

Long Installation Instructions

These are the instructions for setting up the app if you're starting from a stock Rasbian Wheezy Linux install. To find out how to install Rasbian Wheezy refer to the instructions on http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Install OS packages:

sudo apt-get install vim python-dev python-setuptools nginx supervisor git
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
sudo modprobe w1-gpio
sudo modprobe w1-therm

Install Fermenter Web Application

cd ~
mkvirtualenv fermenter
git clone https://github.com/mfwarren/Fermenter.git
cd Fermenter
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py syncdb
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Test that the webserver is working on port 8000 before proceeding, Ctrl-C to stop server once confirmed.

Configure Http Server

I'm using nginx infront of gunicorn (managed by supervisord). The config files are included.

sudo bash setup/install.sh

Optional Steps:

Set hostname on raspberry pi:

sudo vim /etc/hostname
sudo vim /etc/hosts

Replace 'raspberrypi' with 'fermenter' in both files.

---

Set a static IP:

sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces

Remove the existing eth0 line and add these:

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.222
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Point to this static IP address in your hosts file so that you can connect to fermenter.local rather than 192.168.1.??

Finish

Reboot

sudo reboot

Quick Installation

SD card disk image for the Raspberry Pi with everything configured is coming soon...
