Updated my Sonic Pad's Debian fork to Bookworm — here's what's in it
Realized my Sonic Pad was still running whatever Klipper/Moonraker versions Creality shipped it with — no updates since day one. There's a community fork of Jpe230's original SonicPad-Debian project that replaces the stock firmware with real Debian, but it was still on the older Bullseye base, so I brought it up to Bookworm and got a proper release out.
What's actually on it:
Klipper + Moonraker, current versions, not whatever Creality froze in place
KlipperScreen for the touchscreen
Mainsail as the default web UI (reachable from your phone/PC browser)
crowsnest for webcam streaming
KIAUH included, so you can add Fluidd, moonraker-obico (AI print-failure detection + remote monitoring), or anything else in its catalog whenever you want — none of that is forced into the base image
A real read/write Debian filesystem underneath, SSH access, the works — it's just a normal Linux box that happens to run your printer
Single-file download, flash it like the stock firmware.
