Thank you, Raspberry Pi 2, and read-only

[JostSchenck]

Thankyou, thankyou, thank you so much! This is just what I needed for our little choir!

On github I read that this is tested for model 4 and has been reported for model 3. I installed it on both of those as well as on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B; it worked, and latency is absolutely fine (I had around 35ms, which was similar for the others, just on the 4 a little lower)! Unsurprisingly, a 2011 Raspberry 1 will not work :)

Has anybody tried mounting this read-only? I will definitely try as soon as I find the time, as I would like people to be able to just pull the plug -- as automatic startup of jamulus works perfectly and I preconfigured all of them with their right name (can be done after etching in the jamulus settings under payload; just encode the name to base64), this would make usage of the web interface obsolete in most cases: Just plug the box, wait 2 minutes and done!

You are geniuses :)

@JostSchenck Thanks and you're quite welcome. I don't have a Pi2 to test with, so you might be the first to have tried it. I'm glad to hear it's working.

The timeout feature will shut the box down after timeout expires, so it's possible to use without any UI, just wait a while before you kill the power. I think default timeout it 120 minutes. It's preferable to do a clean shutdown; killing the power usually works OK, but there is some risk of SD card corruption so it's better to avoid that.

I think there was one user who had a bad SD card that the Pi couldn't write, so he accidentally was running read-only. It worked but he of course couldn't save his settings.

I haven't tried setting the filesystem to readonly, but I expect it should work.

Ah, good, I had somehow thought it would just stop the connection to the server on timeout but that's perfect for us, thanks!
