I bought Stellarmate for a 2nd setup (EAA) some years ago. Great to handel with a tablet only!

But very often had the problem that after an update of the Stellarmate APP it will not work anymore.
In these cases I had to remove the complete installation on my devices (iPAD & Android the same) and reinstall it. After that I have to setup all profiles again.

Here is awsome script for converting your Raspberry OS Bullseye 64bit to almost Astroberry like OS gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build.
And here is my article with instructions for whole process: saimons-astronomy.webador.com/1216039_as...ndi-libcamera-driver.

Well, so I tried migrating to Stellarmate as well. First I was afraid it is a closed system, but it is not really closed at all. Just a small donation to the INDI development to download the base image. But my PyIndi scripts do not work like they did on Astroberry anymore. Strange issues and errors. Maybe because of the recent upgrade to INDI 2.0 and changes in API that are not fully projected to the PyIndi yet? Also, the joystick driver is crashing and my myFocuser does not want to connect to the hotspot anymore, despite of the same SSID/password/IP setting.

There are some relatively minor changes needed for indi clients and 2.0.0+. This was not a problem with pyindi-client specifically, but all indi clients.

Hello there
I've made "unofficial astroberry 64-bit relase" based ond Debian 11. It just "works for me" but if you familiar with Linux (Debian) you can try install it:
github.com/sanlupkim/astroberry-bullseye
Some features:
indilib 2.0.3
kstars 3.6.4
phd2 2.6.11dev6
oacpture (64bit)
Some other apps (i.e hnsky, skychart, ccdciel, astap) has arm64 version and install clean from homepages.

regards,

Thank you Lukasz for your tutorial.
However I am struglling on installing kstars due to the missing libstellasolver. Also, can you be more specific on "rest indi* works from "apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/indinightly" ? Which ubuntu flavor is compatible with debian 11 used by raspian os ?

Regards,
Sebastien

Oh yes, there is some "mist" on my tutorial.
libstellarsolver is available at astroberry.repo - www.astroberry.io/repo/pool/main/libs/li....3+deb11u1_arm64.deb
According to "mutlaqja/indinightly" repo - browse it - launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages, look for version \*ubuntu20.04.1 and filename ending \*arm64.deb.
I've installed cleanly packages from this repo:Other pkgs. - didnt try casue dont need. If something can't be installed I can try build it for Debian 11.

Regards,

Just install Raspbian OS 64bit and add Stellarmate repos and install INDI

Thank You Lukasz,
I ended up building the libstellarsolver arm64 deb by myself from the source I found on Jasem ubuntu ppa, and that did the trick. I still had to force installation of your kstars-bleeding package since the dbg package is needed but is missing from your git repo. Finally, this forced me to learn how to build packages for dedian and I even set up pbuilder, to cross compile arm binary deb packages from my x86_64 host.

Now, with your answer, I just realized that the astroberry repo has already plenty of arm64 binaries, meaning that we can add the astroberry repo in the source list as explained in the advanced installation guide from the astroberry documentation (www.astroberry.io/docs/index.php?title=A..._Server#Installation). We just need to replace "buster" by "bullseye".

Regarding your valuable tutorial, maybe some "wget" commands here and there would help beginners to download the right file just in one command.

Sebastien

Hi,
As far as I know, the Stellarmate repos is only accessible to Stellarmate registered users. Right ?

Regards,
Sebastien

Hi
Wget is simple:
You are right that we can add bullseye astroberry repo. I forgot that I have it
I uploaded kstars-bleeding-dbg package.

I think stellarmate repos are open - ppa.stellarmate.com/ - didnt know about it till now. But packages are for bookworm (?) - made with zstd compression, its possible to repack it: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/669004/...upported-by-apt-dpkg

Packages are for bullseye, RaspbianOS 64 bit is bullseye version, the new bookworm is not officially released, just take a look at the official RaspbianOS site www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-s...spberry-pi-os-64-bit
