Install from GitHub - Developer Version for Plugin Development
The setup command will create a config folder in directory where you executed this command. The config folder contains all instance data. For example all your hardware configuration and log files.
You can setup as many enviroments as you like on one computer / Raspberry pi. Just navigate to a diffent folder and run the setup command again. This will create additional config folder
The server is running under http://localhost:8000 by default.
Port 8000 is the default port. You can change this port in the config folder config.yaml
The advantage of a virtual enviroment is to separate the python dependencies. This is interesting for testing and to install several CBPi intances at the same time.
CraftBeerPi is supporting digital temperature sensors like DS18B20 via 1Wire protocol On a Raspberry Pi it's required to add some configuration that 1Wire is working.
The following command will add the file /boot/config.txt to your Raspberry Pi. The content of the file is: dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4,pullup=on
The follwowing commad will list all onewire devices on your system
