# Raspberry Pi Zero Timelapse
## Tech Stack
- Python 3.4
- Flask
- ImageMagick
- Raspberry Pi 3
- Raspberry Pi Camera
## Startup
For GIF making magic install ImageMagick with `sudo apt install imagemagick`.
`python3 manage.py`
## Objective
Trigger timelapse capture from my phone via password protected website.
## Deploy
### Create directories
```buildoutcfg
mkdir picam/client/static/{archive,gifs,images,timelapse}
```
### systemd
`/etc/systemd/system/photos.service`
```buildoutcfg
[Unit]
Description=Gunicorn instance to take timelapses
After=network.target
[Service]
User=pi
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/Projects/Photos
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --timeout 999 -k gevent --threads 12 --bind unix:photos.sock -m 007 wsgi:app
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
```buildoutcfg
sudo systemctl status photos.service
sudo systemctl start photos.service
sudo systemctl stop photos.service
```
### nginx
`/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`
```buildoutcfg
upstream flask_server {
# swap the commented lines below to switch between socket and port
server unix:/home/pi/Projects/Photos/photos.sock fail_timeout=0;
# server 127.0.0.1:5000 fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 2002;
server_name domain-name-of-yours.com;
# Set up proxy for app
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://flask_server;
}
# Configure NGINX to deliver static content from the specified folder
location /static {
alias /home/pi/Projects/Photos/picam/client/static;
}
}
```
## End Points
`/` - takes a photo and displays it
`/view` - view all single photos
`/timelapse` - takes 50 photos with a 5 second delay
`/gif` - create gif from last timelapse
`/animations` - view all timelaps gifs
`/archive` - contains list of zipped up timelapse images
