The record

Purpose: Photobooth-App is open-source software for building DIY photo booths for weddings, birthdays, and other events.
License: The maker’s GitHub page says the software is licensed under the MIT license.
Capture features: It supports still photos, animated GIFs, collages, boomerangs, and 3D wigglegrams.
Camera support: The installation guide lists DSLR cameras via gphoto2 on Linux, Raspberry Pi camera modules via picamera2, and USB webcams.
Live preview and multiple cameras: The maker says two cameras can be used at once, dedicating one to stills and another to live preview or video.
Wigglegrams: A synchronized array of cameras can create animated 3D wigglegrams, and the maker notes this feature is still in development.
Platform requirements: The setup guide covers Linux and Windows; it recommends Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with a 64-bit OS and says Raspberry Pi 3 may be slow.
Windows DSLR limitation: The Windows DSLR integration uses Digicamcontrol, which the maker says is no longer maintained and will receive no new features.
QR sharing: QR codes can link to media hosted online or served by the app on a local network; online downloads require media files to be made publicly accessible.
Cloud synchronization: The QR-sharing guide says its synchronizer uses rclone to upload files to supported storage providers, including examples for FTP and Nextcloud.
Privacy consideration: The maker notes that sharing images through a private internet service might conflict with GDPR and describes local Wi-Fi sharing as less likely to conflict with GDPR.
Printing: Sharing and printing use configurable platform-specific commands, and the app does not receive the print job or printer status.
Integrations: The maker lists WLED countdown signaling, Raspberry Pi GPIO triggers, and a REST API for external capture triggers and status requests.
API: The REST API supports the frontend’s interaction with hardware for live video, captures, and sharing media files.
