The info on how to get INDI for Raspbian is outdated. Simply use
wget -O - https://www.astroberry.io/repo/key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo su -c "echo 'deb https://www.astroberry.io/repo/ bullseye main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/astroberry.list"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install indi-full kstars-bleeding
and kstars installs fine on Raspberry OS 64 bit.

However, running it turned out to be problematic:
$ kstars
org.kde.kstars: Failed to create local astrometry directory
Call to writableLocation without an application-based location.
org.kde.kstars: Welcome to KStars 3.6.0 Stable

org.kde.kstars: Loading asteroids

  what():  Could not open file.

So I copied the ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/kstars directory from my MacBook to ~/.local/share/kstars on the Raspberry Pi and now it's working.

Same here. And I do not have a MacBook. ;-)

But strace shows:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/XXXXX/.local/share/kstars/asteroids.dat", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
futex(0x7fbb7e3234, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0

So indeed, at least the ~/.local/share/kstars/asteroids.dat is missing. Is there a dependency missing? And why ~/.local?
OK, other files are probed in multiple locations and finally found in /usr/share/kstars. And I even found an asteroids.dat there.

Well, "cp /usr/share/kstars/asteroids.dat .local/share/kstars/" also does the trick.

Regards & CS

Found this thread on Google, copying `/usr/share/kstars/asteroids.dat` to `~/.local/share/kstars` worked for me, thank you!

I succes to install Bulleyes with our favorite trilogy, Kstars indi-full, gsc. I copy a .local/share/kstars directory from my laptop. Kstars runs well.
Just an issue with QHY camera that not connect as on a PC. The key was to reinstall the mutlaqja ppa. But in my case it is not adequat.
An idea ?

Is there any news on when we can expect to see the 'official' 64bit Astroberry release?

I had a similar question some weeks ago and never got a direct answer, just how to compile my own Bulseye Astroberry.
I love my old Astroberry working for me since 2 years with 3 setups, 5 cameras, 3 focussers and so on.

Unfortunately the developer of the Astroberry-Server doesn`t appear anymore anywhere :-(

However I just finished a N.I.N.A. project Mini-PC last week and now have 2 systems in parallel mounted on my EQ6.
Waiting for CS and 1st Light with N.I.N.A. If everything will work as expected I think I will remove and bury the PI because I woul like to have a future-proof system.

Cheers,
Hardy

On my side, I bought Stellarmate in order to thank Jasem and his team for all the work they offer us.
I have also created a system with Ubuntu-Mate arm64. Then just install mutlaqja ppa then indi, gsc, kstars-bleeding.
For PHD2, ppa: pch/phd2. Update and install phd2.

Yeah I sort of decided to do the same thing - switch from astroberry to stellarmate. Not only am I now up to date (not sure that’s always a good thing so sticking with stable releases) but I’ve now got the ios app and the web dashboard and nonvc and vnc and rdp (easiest way to get the right screen resolution it seems) and ekos live as ways to connect. The app and dashboard are worth the cost in themselves to me.

Now if only I could get the desktop pager to work correctly…

Currently happy bunny just waiting for clear skies.

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.
