Live DVD/USB ISO with ODM, node-ODM and WebODM pre-installed.

liveodm's Issues

Prebuilt live iso

Why is there no prebuilt live iso to download?

OSGeoLive Integration

OSGeoLive seems to be a natural & perfect fit for WebODM/ODM, and is similar in architecture to LiveODM (being also based upon Lubuntu LTS).

I don't know if you'd be interested in possibly having "LiveODM" like features added into OSGeoLive to provide an even more full FOSS GIS workspace, now inclusive of the ever-more important photogrammetry capabilities of ODM.

How would this best work? Pre-built packages upstreamed to ubuntu-gis or Debian-gis or Ubuntu/Debian repositories? Something else?

wslODM

I'd love to see LiveODM converted to work under WSL and available through the Store for purchase.

WSL makes running Linux programs surprisingly easy, and with an X Server installed, you can run GUI programs fairly well. 3D acceleration isn't possible yet, but should be with time.

WSL1
Extracted the filesystem.squashfs from the LiveODM ISO, re-tar'd it. Imported it into WSL1
What worked:
The image, but docker does not run under WSL1 currently. I was able to launch firefox, update packages, and generally use the LiveODM rootfs successfully under WSL1.

Alpine WSL
Installed all dependencies for WebODM per the GitHub documentation
What worked:
The image in general, but docker does not run under WSL1 currently.
The WSL instance of Alpine+WebODM was incredibly much smaller than LiveODM.

WSL2
I have not attempted to insert the filesystem.squashfs from LiveODM into my WSL2 instance for testing yet.

Suggestions
Rebase wslODM onto Alpine Linux

Personal next steps
Attempt to get a LiveODM-like environment running in Alpine on hardware

Signed for usage with SecureBoot

It would be great to have the LiveODM image signed so it can be booted on devices which have SecureBoot policies set.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/Signing

More user friendly boot splash screen

Currently we've enabled verbose mode, which is intimidating for some users. Maybe have a ODM logo with the drone spinning the propellers while the distro loads.

Automatically create hotspot (if available)

Would be useful to automatically setup a hotspot if a compatible WiFi adapter which supports AP mode is detected.

LiveODM in an server with unsupported processor

Hi there.
I have installed LiveODM in a server with a xeon processor (proliant g5 server). The processor lacks some basic features and webodm is installed with liveodm nativelly (no docker).
I have seen this great post which explains how to change values from nahalem to native in docker node_odm_container. This approach works in a docker installation.
How can I do this in a liveODM (native install)?

opendronemap.iso: Permission denied

When running ./envsetup.sh in step 2, I get the error:

opendrone.iso: Permission denied
Couldn't download the file :-(

Fails To Boot With Certain Graphics Cards?

A user reported that the ISO fails to boot. This is the last error message prior to hanging:

UEFI boot.

LiveODM can't find XORRISO

Hello.
I am extremely new to this sector and I am trying to create a LIVEODM USB stick for simple mapping. However, while running it from UBUNTU 20.4, the terminal gives me this error:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/LiveODM$ ./envsetup.sh

Package xorriso is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'xorriso' has no installation candidate
END OF ERROR MESSAGE
I am not good enough to solve this issue as I am just a simple user, but it seems to me that XORISSO is no longer available to create the intended ISO.
Thanks for your help.

Wrong installation URL?

Getting Started guide lists git clone URL

git clone https://github.com/manand881/LiveODM.git

should that instead be

git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/LiveODM.git

?

Also yes, why not having a prebuilt LiveODM ISO ?

Make image creation steps based off a generic Ubuntu image

Currently the final ISO is based on a master ISO image based on Lubuntu 16.04. It might be easier to make modifications if steps to build the final image are based off a more generic system.

SNAP Package of "native" LiveODM programs

This idea came from a Linux expert whom I was discussing my trials/tribulations on updating LiveODM beyond 16.04.

Their idea was that a SNAP package would be a clean way to avoid dependency issues for a Linux install, without some of the vagaries of a Docker image.

Thoughts?
