I'd love to punt Beersmith out of my brewing

Completely doable. Just not well documented. It really depends on what you want to achieve honestly and if what you have does what you want it to or you want to build on what you have or not. (i.e. do you want updates? The official branch appears to be abandoned)

Once I work out the install issues and get the install process documented... My repo will likely be the simplest to install on a current RPi OS. Until then however, the original on an older OS is your best bet.

so basically by starting with an older version and upgrading you kept the original PHP5 interpreter being used by Apache. Great for upgrades, not a simple option for new installs. I've got a version that works with PHP7 but the install routine needs some work. That work is currently being done...

if you create a php page with the following and point a browser to it what version does it show? <?php phpinfo(); ?>

A fresh install of Stretch has PHP7 which does not support the database calls made in the RPints code base. If you upgraded you probably still have PHP5 which does support those calls. That being said, I'm working with carrsgarage and Chuggles to get a working install process for my fork on a...

My apologies for not responding over the weekend. The wife and I were at the beach. My code completely replaces the previous RPints code and is entirely self contained (not an update, it is a complete solution in and of itself) and does not require anything from the original zip. (in fact it...

the problem here is that none of the code has an easy update mechanism which would be expected of a commercial product. Also this begs the question, what would be a reasonable markup for the labor involved in spinning up a pre-installed, pre-configured setup?

if you type php --version what do you get? I'm assuming you get php 7.1 or something similar. If so you can try to work though my fork of the code that has been updated to support PHP7 but probably has a zillion other issues. The github repo is available at...

If you load up my version, PLEASE let me know how the install goes. I'll be more than happy to help work through any issues. The code should work both with and without meters (the meter handling has changed somewhat so that's where I would expect the most issues). I also have big questions as...

That helps. I'll add an issue with a link to this and that. Sounds like "Minimum Pour Volume" and "Maximum Pour volume" settings could be created on a per tap basis. This would filter out the noise of small ghost pours and prevent weird giant pours. Might be worth adding a flag on each pour...

I'll take a look around and see what I can find. Worst case this is probably a useful feature. The biggest question is going to be how to flag a pour as a ghost pour. I'm guessing these are slow trickles of small pulse counts as the CO2 comes out of solution and triggers the meter. Do most...

I have a GitHub repo at https://github.com/zaepho/RaspberryPints/tree/v2.0.3-Skins that should be functional for PHP up through 7.2. I believe the installer works but I haven't had a chance to run through all of it on a Pi myself. If you give it a try, the readme in the repo has some basic...

Which OS did you install on the PI and which source for Raspberry Pints are you using? The error message suggests that you are on a newer version of PHP that no longer has the older mysql extension. There are some exmaples of how to resolve this as well as my GitHub Repo where I've been...

My current thought is to build a step into the Install process that fetches the XMLs and processes them into the DB for you. Ideally I'd also like the ability to go into the admin section and update them whenever you like without clobbering any existing beers or custom styles. I may even...
