Trouble with DeskPi Pro Booting from USB
1 project | /r/RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS | 25 Dec 2020

I've been dealing with this this morning, and have got to to fully boot from the SSD twice now, seeing the timeout and drop to emergency shell. I'm still not quite sure what's different about the times that I have got it to boot successfully. It does seem there's a good number of folx on their github with issues too.

motioneyeos is fantastic, but last i checked it wasn't being maintained any more… since you're already using ubuntu, the project is available without the full os distro: motionEye.

Is MotionEye still a thing

Motion OS has unfortunately stopped but MotionEye itself is still on-going (last update was a month ago to two yaml files).
I'm feeling demoralized. Need some inspiration. What's a way you've successfully used your RPi 3b to do something without compromise?

2 handle CCTV via MotionEye (https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye) using some cheapy Wansview cameras (inside and out...originally to keep an eye on a new dog while we were working upstairs). 1 handles the UI of MotionEye, and is also used for various ad-hoc processes (e.g. SpotDL, Samba etc) where having an always-on machine is handy.
