GoPiCam is a web-based interface for managing and controlling a Raspberry Pi camera using RaspiMJPEG, inspired by the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface project. Unlike the original, GoPiCam is implemented in Golang, which eliminates the need to install additional software like PHP or a database on the Raspberry Pi.

• Web-based interface for Raspberry Pi camera control
• Secure HTTP/HTTPS server support
• User authentication and session management
• Camera preview, start/stop recording, motion detection, and timelapse functionality
• Configuration management

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/jempe/gopicam.git
cd gopicam

2. Build the project:

go build -o bin/gopicam cmd/gopicam/main.go

3. Run the application:

./bin/gopicam

The configuration files are located in the default path ~/.gopicam. You can specify a different path using the -config flag.

./bin/gopicam -config /path/to/config

• -config: Define the path of the config folder
• -reset: Reset admin username and password
• -help: Show help
• -insecure: Run web server without HTTPS
• -port: Web server port (default: 443)
• -debug: Print all debug messages

If the admin username and password are not set, or if you use the -reset flag, you will be prompted to create an admin account.

To run the server with HTTPS:

./bin/gopicam

To run the server without HTTPS:

./bin/gopicam -insecure
