I’ve been playing around with this for the last week but still not got it going.
I started with a fresh SD card today, followed the install instructions from the wiki and brewpi works fine, same with the test script, but I get the same error every time I try copy over the script files and try to run it.
I’ve run the update script and also manually cloned brewpi-scrip. I’m using the master branch for this, is that right?
I’m really at a loss for what I’m missing! 
Can someone provide me their source list so I can confirm mine is correct. Thank you.
A fresh install has the following in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
#Uncomment line below then ‘apt-get update’ to enable ‘apt-get source’
#deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
Hello,

What am I doing wrong?
Hi @Andu and @eviltom - - I’ve worked it out. When I was comparing the modifications to source I’d stupidly forgotten to fetch the latest (so was comparing to my local branch) 
I’ve now fixed the problem and if you re-sync the brewpi.py file it should work.
Sorry for the delay/confusion with this one.
Thanks @sbowler
Can I just check, do you mean to clone brewpi.py from https://github.com/sibowler/brewpi-brewometer.git again?
I tried that and I’ve just recreated the container and started from scratch and I’m still getting the same error.
Cheers
Bugger! Missed the error message when I did the push from my local. Fixed now. Thanks for testing so quickly.
Re-synced and refreshed the page and everything worked.
Brilliant! Thank you very much for your efforts, @sbowler
I seem to be missing a step, as the graph is not showing data,
Running in Docker:
Get output from TiltHydrometerTest.py
Also get data in .json and csv files.

Have copied all files to relevant locations and changed permissions and restarted a new session.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
I had to force refresh the browser to get it to display properly. CTRL +F5
@eviltom, That seems to be the problem, although not 100%. Seems to work in Chrome but on in Safari on my Mac, even after a reboot of the Mac.
Will have to look for whats wrong with Safari.
Actually “Opt + Cmd + E” is clear cache on Safari.
Thanks
Hi @CoraDias - IMO, the best way is really a GitHub repository. In regards to upcoming changes, it depends which brewpi-script repository you’re talking about. Generally @elco keeps upcoming changes on the develop branch. Once they move to master, they’re released.
As the major software changes are still in the “jam tomorrow” stage and the docker setup is standard now is there any chance of providing a python script within the downloaded files to move all the other files in the right position in the container for docker users? It would be much simpler to do a git clone followed by running the script for the end user any time a docker container was updated, destroying the Tilt integration in the container, rather than having to copy over all the bits and pieces one at a time. With it being a container it should be identical for all users.
Much easier would be to make the required changes inside a docker container, commit them and publish the image on docker hub for a 1 step deployment.

I’ve opened an issue for this on GitHub (Link) – However, I’m hoping commenting here may get me support more quickly, as I’ve got a beer currently in my ferm chamber and I want my controller to be up and working again ASAP!
Is there support for BrewPi + Tilt monitoring for those of us still using Legacy BrewPi (Due to being on a RasPi2 instead of a RasPi 3)? I’ve got a working BrewPi setup, but when I attempt to merge in the necessary files for the Tilt monitoring to work, it breaks:
- brewpi.py
- brewpiJson.py
- beer-panel.php
- js/beer-chart.php
- css/styles.css
I’m happy to be more descriptive, but it would really be copy/pasting from the GitHub issue.
I’m trying to get a Tilt working in BrewPi and I’ve followed all of the instructions I’ve seen here and I still can’t get to where I need to be I think.
With a fresh Raspbian install and following the instructions to get setup here:
https://wiki.brewpi.com/getting-started/raspberry-pi-docker-install
I’ve turned on ssh, got portainer working.
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
docker pull brewpi/brewpi-raspbian
docker run -d --privileged --net=host --name brewpi -p 80:80 -p 81:81 -v ~/brewpi-data:/data -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime --restart always brewpi/brewpi-raspbian
docker exec -it brewpi bash
# new prompt
#root@raspberrypi:/home/brewpi#
sudo apt-get install python-scipy python-numpy bluez python-bluez libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which python`)
git clone https://github.com/sibowler/brewpi-brewometer.git
#clones into /home/brewpi/brewpi-brewometer
python /home/brewpi/brewpi-brewometer/tiltHydrometer-test/TiltHydrometerTest.py
# should get a read out if your tilt is active. Often first measurement is blank, don't panic. ctrl + c to quit reading
# now we need to copy things
cp -r /home/brewpi/brewpi-brewometer/brewpi-web/ /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
cp -r /home/brewpi/brewpi-brewometer/brewpi-script /home/brewpi/
sudo chown -R brewpi:brewpi /home/brewpi
But I get:
chown: invalid user: ‘brewpi:brewpi’
I’ve wiped this docker numerous times. Updated and upgraded apt-get. Just can’t quite get there.
I’m really not sure why this user doesn’t exist. I figure it’s gotta be in the container, but it isn’t.
Am I missing a step?
The docker install of brewpi runs everything as the root user inside the container, as is common with docker. There is indeed no brewpi user.
So, it’s sudo chown -R root:root /home/brewpi?
Doing that and a full reboot I get no graph in brewpi, even though TiltHydrometerTest.py reports fine on my black Tilt.
