🎧 Lofi Streamer + Dashboard (GENDEMIK DIGITAL)

Maintained by Ms Stevie Woo (GENDEMIK DIGITAL) — Raspberry Pi 4/5 Picamera2 Edition

The Lofi Streamer is a camera-first YouTube livestream engine designed for Raspberry Pi.
The Dashboard is an optional add-on that provides full web-based control, monitoring, logs, and system stats.

This repo contains the Dashboard Add-On.

📦 Installation (one-line installer)

Run this on your Raspberry Pi after the streamer itself is installed:

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teqherself/Lofi-Streamer-Pi4-dashboard/main/install.sh)

This will:

• Auto-detect your Pi username
• Install Python3 deps (Flask, psutil)
• Create the Dashboard folder structure
• Install & enable lofi-dashboard.service
• Add the correct sudoers rules
• Start the dashboard automatically

---

🌐 Usage

After install, open:

http://<your-pi-ip>:4455

Use:

hostname -I

to find your Pi’s IP.

Login using the hashed password configured in dashboard.py.

Once inside, you’ll see:

• 2×2 tiles (system stats + controls)
• Three log columns
  • streamer log
  • camera lock log
  • dashboard log

Everything updates automatically.

🔑 Password Configuration

The dashboard uses a PBKDF2-SHA256 hash, not a plain password.

Generate a new password hash:

python3 - << 'EOF'
from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash
print(generate_password_hash("YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD"))
EOF

Then open:

~/LofiStream/Dashboard/dashboard.py

Find:

PASSWORD_HASH = "pbkdf2:sha256:...."

Replace it with your new hash.

Reboot dashboard:

sudo systemctl restart lofi-dashboard
