Installation on Raspberry Pi

For usage on a Raspberry Pi, the Glue PI OS Image is recommended. In case you want to install Glue on your own Image, follow the Installation on Linux Guide.

System Requirements

Generally, Glue does not need a lot of resources. However, we recommend using a Raspberry Pi 4 with at least 2GB of RAM. If you are using a Chromium browser to display screens on the Pi, make sure to enable the SWAP file and set it to 8 GB to have enough memory available.

Setting SWAP file size on Raspberry Pi

1. Open the terminal and run sudo nano /sbin/dphys-swapfile
2. Change the CONF_MAXSWAP value to CONF_MAXSWAP=65536
3. Press CTRL + X to exit and press Y to save the file
4. Run sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
5. Change the CONF_SWAPSIZE value to CONF_SWAPSIZE=8192
6. Press CTRL + X to exit and press Y to save the file
7. Run sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
8. Run sudo dphys-swapfile setup
9. Run sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
10. Run sudo reboot
11. Done!

1. Download and install the Raspberry Pi Imager.
2. Download our Pi Image from here.
3. Launch the Raspberry Pi Imager.
4. Click Choose OS and select Custom Image from the bottom of the list. Then, choose the ZIP file you just downloaded.
5. Click Choose SD Card and select your Pi SD Card.
6. Click Write and wait for it to finish.
7. Insert the SD Card in your PI and boot it. Once it has connected to a network, you can access Glue from a browser on any computer connected to the network using the IP address (find it using the UI of your router). If your router supports hostnames, you can access it using http://glue, http://glue.local or http://glue.fritz.box
