Personally, I prefer it to Ubuntu Mate, but you need to build it yourself.

Lol....we all do but it does not work on the rpi4 yet, that’s what we are all waiting for...
Have you read the rest of the thread..

You have confused me. I don't have any hope of getting a Raspberry Pi 4 for a few months, but I assume that building INDI on it will work just fine. Is this not the case?

Paul

Sorry Paul, I misread your post, I read it as you said “I prefer Ubuntu mate but you have to build yourself” I missed the “it to”
Please accept My apologies.....my mistake..
Yes it all works well on buster, INdI and Kstars / Ekos..
sorry again

At the moment only the Debian based Raspbian Buster is available for the Pi 4 and it works fine. The INDI library can be compiled and the indiserver can be accessed it remotely or you could setup a standalone system with some more effort.

Thanks to you two for your advice and opinions. I actually found a walkthrough on the Stellarmate FB group that I will have to use. It's been a long time since I played in Linux and when I did, that was just spinning up management VMs using CentOS and Ubuntu 16.04.

Here is the link for the walkthru.

A version of Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 is now available for the Raspberry Pi 4. It does not have a desktop, but one can be installed.

I don't know if it is me, but that Facebook link did not work. Do you need a Facebook login to use it?

Paul

Yes I imagine so

As the ubuntu flavor for the rpi4 is not ready yet I took a shot at compiling kstars/ekos/indilib from source for the rpi4 raspbian OS. It seems that I got it working, at least for my set up.



So this is an 7zip image of my sdcard. It was made with win32DiskImager. You will need a 32GB formated as FAT32.

The setup I got working is:
- Skywatcher AZ-GTI wireless mount
- ASI Cameras (294MC Pro and 120MM-s)
- also tried Sony A7iii
- sky safari service



All my test were indoors, is pouring rain and clouds here in Mexico City, so I could not try guiding and the actual plate solve (I tried with a demo image and worked - from the command line). Don't forget to change timezone.



I don't know if other devices will work, but I compiled all the 3rd party drivers that were on the indilib github.



Services to act as a wifi access point are installed:
SSID: ASIAIR_jir (I also have and ASIAIR and don't want to keep changing the setup in my AZ-GTI access point parameter).
pw: 12345678



It's not configured to join a wireless network, when I need to get online I just plugged a network cable. You will have to configure this if you want, but I am afraid you will loose the Access point functionality.



In the OS:
user: pi
pw: xsw21qaz

SSH is enabled, also VNC for remote desktop.



astrometry files: /home/pi/astrometry/data
I only installed the indexes for 14 to 140 arcminutes. The INDI index downloader is not working (it reports an access violation) so you will have to download by hand.



I haven't tested this extensively nor plan to support this build. So you are on your own.



Enjoy,

Jorge

Thanks for sharing the disk image but the link isn't working.

Sorry about it. I edited the post.
