Getting started raspberry pi

This documentation is deprecated/obsolete. Lute v2 has been replaced by Lute v3, a full Python rewrite. Please see the Lute v3 manual which includes notes on installation. If you have Lute v2, you can easily migrate to v3. Thank you!

From https://www.raspberrypi.org/:

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse.

Platform

hostnamectl

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Kernel: Linux 6.1.21-v8+ Architecture: arm64

Docker Installation

You need docker first, and it's super easy. Install Docker Engine on Debian | Docker Documentation

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

Lute Installation

Follow step by step, and you will not get lost. 🙂

Step 1: Go back to your home

cd

Step 2: Create the folders we need

mkdir ./Containers/lute/lute_release -p
mkdir ./Containers/lute/LuteBackup -p

Step 3: Go to the folder you just created

cd ./Containers/lute/lute_release

Step 4: Download lute from GitHub

wget https://github.com/jzohrab/lute/releases/download/<<VERSION_HERE>>/lute_release.zip

Step 5: Unzip the file

unzip lute_release.zip

Step 6: Remove the zip file

rm lute_release.zip

Step 7: Go back to your home

cd

Step 8: Go to your backup folder

cd ./Containers/lute/LuteBackup

Step 9: Check and copy your backup direction

pwd

Step 10: Go back to your home

cd

Step 11: Go back to lute folder

cd ./Containers/lute/lute_release

Step 12: Create the .env file for Lute configuration

cp .env.example.docker .env

Step 13: Open .env with nano editor

nano .env

Step 14: modify the BACKUP_HOST_DIR with the full path you got in Step 9. For example, if your username is pi, the path would be /home/pi/Containers/lute/LuteBackup

BACKUP_HOST_DIR=/home/pi/Containers/lute/LuteBackup

Step 15: Set BACKUP_ENABLED to true

BACKUP_ENABLED=true

Steps 16 to 18 are for users who want to use security (see Configuration - Security). If you don't need that, you can skip those steps.

Step 16: amend the LOGIN_USERNAME and LOGIN_PASSWORD to whatever you like, e.g. lute

LOGIN_USERNAME=lute
LOGIN_PASSWORD=lute

Step 17: Open security.yaml with nano editor

nano ./config/packages/security.yaml

Step 18: In Line 18 and 23, amend false to true

security: true

Step 19 is for users with previous installations -- if you don't have one, skip this step.

Step 19: Copy your data from previous version, e.g. lute 2.0.5

cp ../lute_release_OLD_VERSION/data/lute.db ./data/lute.db

Step 20: Build the docker image

docker compose build

Step 21: Start the container

docker compose up -d

Step 22: Open your favorite browser and go to [Your Pi's IP]:8000

Step 23: Enjoy and Cheers 🎉
