Ever buy something for a project then forget about said project and subsequently forget you'd ever bought items only to stumble across them later and wonder why and when you purchased them?
Guess what? I had no idea i had these. No idea what I was planning to do with them then and little to no idea of what to do with them now XD

I wanted an emergency computer to take traveling: enough to run dev servers and ssh, without needing to drag a laptop around. I had an old #raspberrypi lying around, and bought the new Raspi Display 2 which has a great resolution. 3D printed case from filament I found in the street. Small 12e wireless keyboard is surprisingly usable. Getting SD Card encryption running was the hardest thing. Worked out way cheaper than the other options.

First time I noticed #cloudInit it was using a noticeable part of the CPUs...
#RaspberryPi says it's for the first install, and I agree it's useful, a bit better that the old /boot/config.txt. But then it sticks around, why ?
I suspect it caused the recent crashes and/or interferes with my #ansible setup on my older Raspis 2 & 3...

**Stream video from Raspberry Pi Zero W camera in 2026**
TL;DR
I wanted to revive my old Raspberry Pi Zero W camera and stream it to Home Assistant.
I made it work via libcamera2 (mjpeg stream). If I compare it with ESP32 Cam, it’s resolution and fps is better, but it’s more complex to set it up.
Long story
RBPi camera used to work when I bought it (2018) – stream using uv4l, but now (in 2026) and with new version of Raspbian OS, it doesn’t.
Which streaming tools I’ve tried and didn’t manage to get them work:
- Motion
- Uv4l
- mjpeg-streamer1
- gstreamer
Libcamera2 and Python streaming server
Lastly I’ve found libcamera2 python code2 (mjpeg_server2.py3)and it works. I can stream MJPEG stream to Home Assistant. The code:
#!/usr/bin/python3
# This is the same as mjpeg_server.py, but uses the h/w MJPEG encoder.
import io
import logging
import socketserver
from http import server
from threading import Condition
from picamera2 import Picamera2
from picamera2.encoders import MJPEGEncoder
from picamera2.outputs import FileOutput
PAGE = """\

"""
class StreamingOutput(io.BufferedIOBase):
def __init__(self):
self.frame = None
self.condition = Condition()
def write(self, buf):
with self.condition:
self.frame = buf
self.condition.notify_all()
class StreamingHandler(server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
if self.path == '/':
self.send_response(301)
self.send_header('Location', '/index.html')
self.end_headers()

self.send_response(200)

self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(content)

self.send_header('Content-Type', 'image/jpeg')
self.send_header('Content-Length', len(frame))
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(frame)
self.wfile.write(b'\r\n')
except Exception as e:
logging.warning(
'Removed streaming client %s: %s',
self.client_address, str(e))
else:
self.send_error(404)
self.end_headers()
class StreamingServer(socketserver.ThreadingMixIn, server.HTTPServer):
allow_reuse_address = True
daemon_threads = True
picam2 = Picamera2()
picam2.video_configuration.controls.FrameRate = 5.0
picam2.configure(picam2.create_video_configuration(main={"size": (800, 600)}))
output = StreamingOutput()
picam2.start_recording(MJPEGEncoder(), FileOutput(output))
try:
address = ('', 8000)
server = StreamingServer(address, StreamingHandler)
server.serve_forever()
finally:
picam2.stop_recording()Starting with python mystreamer.py.
Now I can finally see what is happening in my aqarium:
It works ok, but when my ssh connection closes, the python program terminates and it doesn’t stream anymore.
So I made it as a systemd service:
nano /etc/systemd/system/mystreamer.service
mystreamer.service looks like:
[Unit]
# Human readable name of the unit
Description=Python MJPEG web streamer
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=tomi
WorkingDirectory=/home/tomi/mymjpeg
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/tomi/mymjpeg/mystreamer.py
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
StartLimitIntervalSec=60
StartLimitBurst=3
Environment=PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal
CPUQuota=70%
MemoryMax=300M
Nice=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Start the service:
sudo systemctl start mystreamer.serviceStatus?
sudo systemctl status mystreamer.serviceSee logs:
sudo journalctl -u mystreamer.service -fEnable it (autostart at boot):
sudo systemctl enable mystreamer.serviceCheck if enabled:
systemctl is-enabled mystreamer.serviceAnd finally, reboot and see if it starts:
sudo systemctl reboot
Then I modified .py code and made a mistake. Pi booted, but the service restarted every few seconds. I couldn’t even ssh to Pi.
What now?
I took SD card out of PI, put it in my computer, edited faulty .py code, put it back to RBPi, booted and I could SSH again.
Bottomline: streaming now works, but the poor PI’s CPU is at 100% (60% python streaming server, 30% glances).
Streaming H.264?
Raspberry Pi camera can also stream H.264 video, but I didn’t know how to integrate it in Home Assistant.
The command is:
libcamera-vid -t 0 --inline --listen -o tcp://0.0.0.0:8888
If anyone knows how to put this stream to HA, please let me know.

Das wollte ich vorher eigentlich auch noch fragen: Bekommen wir die Komplexitäten digitaler #Edition en in einen #EPUB wrapper hinein, ohne Komplexität zu verlieren?
Alle Listen hinten in html:table hinein, die tei:header auch?
Dann könnte man, wie Jan Odstrčlik das in der Diskussion angesprochen hat, auch billige E-Ink-Devices an die Stelle der von @jorisvanzundert vorgeschlagenen #raspberrypi stellen? Kostet weniger mit Screen und SD-Card…
