CraftBeerPi 4

CraftBeerPi 4 is an open source software solution to control the brewing and fermentation of beer 🍺.

📚 Documentation

Instructions on how to install CraftBeerPi and use its plugins is described in the documentation, that can be found here: gitbook.io.

Plugins

Plugins extend the base functionality of CraftBeerPi 4. You can find a list of available plugins here.

Docker image

While CraftbeerPi is primarily created to be run on a RaspberryPi you can also use a docker image to run it. This let's you try CraftBeerPi quickly without much installation overhead. It can also be very handy when developing your own plugins.

Images are currently available for arm64 and amd64 architectures. That means, that they won't run on a RaspberryPi unless you installed a 64bit version of the OS. This is only a requirement for the docker image, not if you install CraftBeerPi on the pi directly.

Start a container

You can also use the image in your real setup with docker or docker-compose (or other orchestrators).

# setup the configuration directory for later use in a volume mount (must be done once)
mkdir config && chown :1000 config
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/config:/cbpi/config" ghcr.io/avollkopf/craftbeerpi4:latest cbpi setup

# run craftbeerpi
docker run -d -v "$(pwd)/config:/cbpi/config" -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/avollkopf/craftbeerpi4:latest

or as compose file

version: "3.7"
services:
  craftbeerpi:
    image: ghcr.io/avollkopf/craftbeerpi4:latest
      volumes:
        - "./config:/cbpi/config"
      ports:
        - 8000:8000

Please note that this setup does not include GPIO functionality for CraftBeerPi 4. You may be lucky with one of the methods described here to get it to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30059784/docker-access-to-raspberry-pi-gpio-pins

Install plugins in the container

You can create your own image based on ghcr.io/avollkopf/craftbeerpi4 and install plugins as RUN commands in the docker file as you would in a regular environment.

Sample Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/avollkopf/craftbeerpi4:vXX.XX.XX.XX

# Switch to root user for installing plugins
USER root

# Install plugins
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir cbpi4-pt100x

# Don't forget to switch back to craftbeerpi user
USER craftbeerpi

# Add plugin to craftbeerpi
RUN cbpi add cbpi4-pt100x

Then build the image

docker build . -t yourimagename

Then build and use your image in the docker run command or docker-compose file.
