Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 52s
- Day count (2-10, was fixed at 7) -- 5 days trims the weekend clutter without losing the grid format. - Layout choice: days side by side (original behavior) or stacked vertically as full agenda-style sections (reuses _draw_agenda_day, same approach _build_today_tomorrow already used for a fixed 2 days). - Optional task list (CalDAV VTODO collections only -- a plain ICS subscription doesn't meaningfully have one) that takes the space of one day slot instead of adding an extra one. Same owner-controls- their-own-data permission split as calendar sources: only the calendar's owner can point a frame's task list at it, but anyone linked to the frame can clear it. Browse-offset paging now moves by N days (was hardcoded to weeks), identical to the old behavior when days=7. Changing the day count resets the browse offset, same reasoning as changing views already did.
ESPresso Frame
A DIY e-ink photo frame: an ESP32-C6 pulls photos from your Immich library and displays them on a 7.3" full-color e-paper panel, waking on a timer to refresh and spending the rest of its time in deep sleep.
- No cables to a computer, no SD card shuffling. Provisioning is a captive portal with a QR code drawn on the panel itself -- scan, join, fill in your WiFi and server address, done.
- The frame never decodes an image. A small self-hosted server does all the work (pulling from Immich, cropping, dithering, packing into the panel's exact pixel format) and hands the device a stream it can write straight to SPI. The ESP32-C6 has no PSRAM and not much SRAM to spare -- keeping it a dumb display client is what makes that workable.
- Crops toward faces, not just the center, using face bounding boxes Immich already computed for its own People feature -- no bundled face detector.
- Refresh interval and album are configurable from a web UI, no reflashing needed to change them.
Hardware
- ESP32-C6 dev board (8MB flash)
- Waveshare 7.3" E Ink Spectra 6 (E6) panel -- 800x480, 6-color, SPI
See docs/hardware.md for wiring and
docs/architecture.md for how the two halves talk
to each other.
Getting started
server/-- run the FastAPI server first (Docker Compose, points at your Immich instance). Seeserver/README.md.firmware/-- build and flash the ESP32-C6, then scan the QR codes it draws on first boot to provision it. Seefirmware/README.md.
Repo layout
firmware/ ESP-IDF project for the ESP32-C6
