I wanted to create a stand-alone live stacking service that had no UI, and could serve stacked images via the web, so I made github.com/rickbassham/livestack

This is very alpha software at the moment, but seems to work well with my setup. I eventually want to integrate it into github.com/rickbassham/ekos-web, but for now it is fully stand-alone.

This will dark subtract, flat calibrate, stack, and auto-stretch images acquired by Ekos. It is currently ONLY for mono cameras, and will likely break strangely with OSC cameras.

Here's an example output of the horsehead, only processed with the livestack app. No other manual processing was done.

Bravo! This is quite amazing! Looking forward for integration with Ekos Web

Wow, top !

Basic support for OSC has been added. I've tested this with data from the ASI1600MM-Pro and ASI1600MC-Pro captured with Ekos.

Here's an example from my OSC, no additional processing done, just the automated live stack:

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks for doing this.

I've now added support to ekos-web for the livestack.

It is preliminary, and requires you to clone the livestack repo, do a "docker-compose build" then run ekos-web using docker-compose. You can do it manually as well, by running livestack anywhere, and setting the LIVESTACK_ENDPOINT environment variable before starting ekos-web.

excellent

LiveStack looks very promising and I would like to give it a try on my pi 4B+.
I installed docker (v20.10.1 build 831ebea) with curl and docker-compose (v1.27.4) with pip3.
I'm running into an issue during the docker-compose build



Aborting and retrying does not seem to do anything further.

Yeah, I've noticed that it takes an absurdly long time to build on arm processors. That error is actually expected, and if you keep waiting, it will eventually build. By eventually, I mean 8-10 hours later. I'm working on a way to get that down, but haven't finished it yet.

that is an absurdly long time to build almost anything! thanks for the heads up. I will hang in there.

Ok, just finished up (I was actually working on it when you commented). Pull the latest, and give it a go. I haven't actually run it on a raspberry pi yet, so I'm not sure how it'll work (might be too slow, not sure). Let me know how your testing goes.
