Hi,

I am running Indi/Ekos on a RPI4 from 5 years now. First with Nafabox (a french solution), then Astroberry, then Stellarmate. Recentely, I came back to Windows and NINA for some tries. Luckily it was only for some tries !

All I can say I spent many nights, only launching the session and then going to bed. I add just a wifi repeater, or CPL plug, a wifi power outlet.
So I can use either wifi or a local-link to connect with my laptop. The Ekos scheduler at the end of the session, parks the mount, colds the camera and closes Ekos.
A command in crontab stops the system and then the wifi power outlet cuts the power. On the morning, a Filezilla session copies all the frames from my RPI4 SSD to my laptop. Perhaps it would be possible to automatize this transfer but I am only a basic user of Linux and it is not a critical point for me.
