Thank you so much for testing and reporting. I thought that had been fixed a while ago, but I've been intending to make a new version and will update the link. I'll be working on doing a new install today, and hopefully get this resolved.

May be a bad suggestion but still, what about a github release with the image per milestone? That way we don't have to worry about hosting the image or maintaining it.

So back when, we had a Naobian 2.0 which is why the website was updated. But I think there was a bug so it was pulled and was supposed to be replaced. I believe this was the issue #260.

Back then there was no way to automate the build and setup of Naobian as it was built to work out of the box with no user setup, that then the end user could adjust/change as needed. Now in 2025 there might be a way to accomplish this, I will look into the automation part of this.

Hey Austin. Good to see you! Sorry, I missed this last week.

As I recall, what I did was to install the lite (no desktop) version of Raspberry Pi OS, then install and configure Naomi on top of it, then make some edits as described at https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=174434, crush the partition down as small as I can, then use dd or ddrescue to generate a .img file, then compress that into a zip file. Downloading the models takes quite a bit of room, so it's still quite large after being minimized and zipped. The other issue I've had is that it's difficult to run Naomi as a service, because if you do so, then you don't have access to the command line interface. It's possible to do by running Naomi in a screen environment so the user can restore the screen when they want to see the interface, but it's convoluted and definitely not beginner friendly. So after booting the Pi, the user still has to run Naomi from a command line in order to get it to start. I'll be running through a fresh install this weekend, and I'll try to generate an image file for you. It sounds like there have been a few changes on the python side that need to be dealt with now.
