Introduction

Set up and install the V4L2 RTSP camera streaming service available at: https://github.com/mpromonet/v4l2rtspserver

Check the comments in the defaults/main.yml file for details on how to configure it.

This setup uses two main tools: v4l2-ctl for camera configuration, and v4l2rtspserver for managing the RTSP stream.

You can find more information about v4l2-ctl here: https://www.mankier.com/1/v4l2-ctl

Example Playbook

Here’s how to use it in a playbook:

- hosts: whatever
  roles:
    - triplepoint.rtsp_camera

Role Testing

The role is tested using molecule, and pipenv is used to manage dependencies and the Python environment.

Setting Up Your Environment

To get started, install pipenv:

pip install pipenv

After installing pipenv, create a virtual environment for execution:

pipenv install --dev

Running Tests

With your environment ready, you can run tests with:

pipenv run molecule test

Updating the Lock File

You may not need to do this often, but if you change package requirements using pipenv install {some_package} or by editing the Pipfile, or if found dependencies are outdated, you may need to update the Pipfile.lock:

pipenv update --dev

Remember to commit the updated Pipfile.lock after this process.
