DuetWifi DWC Encryption using Rasberry Pi Zero W as Proxy Server
-
Others may vary... I have never shut down a Pi in my life, other than by yanking power.
I have never had to re-build a Pi flash as a result of this practice. And, if I did, it wouldn't take long.

Fantastic!!!
Once you have this "really the way you like it", consider writing a WiKi page?
Yes my thoughts exactly - or a guide if you feel up to breaking down into detailed steps!

I have read that the Pi does not always like to simply loose power, so I have been thinking about a way to ensure the Pi can safely shut down
In theory this is true. In practice i run some Pi which was so often hard power down and it still runs :D. Sometimes I wonder my self how it is possible. But they are some solutions which can improve hard power down reliability:
- use an industrial grade SD Card
- setups Pi file-system as read-only

I have now written a guide for the Proxy part, the camera section will come slightly later, but it is really simple to install (only real requirement is to run it on a different port than the proxy - I had issues when they were on the same port).
https://www.instructables.com/id/DuetWifi-HTTPS-Proxy-and-Camera-Using-RaspberryPi-/Any further advice, questions etc can be posted to the instructable or this thread. I will try to help anyone, but usually a Google Search can also help (in essence my guide is simply a compilation of information found on a whole lot of websites, added in a logical order for this specific task).

I just set mine up, and FYI if you don't have the WiFi password in double quotes it fails. I suggest including them everywhere anyone might copy/paste or they won't know what is going on without picking through the logs. I couldn't vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf either because the Pi doesn't like the mappings on my keyboard. So there was no way to insert a double quote. I put the card back in my PC and added the double quotes and WiFi connects.
Of course so far I can't connect over SSH from my Mac or PC. I get as far as the password entry and Pi thinks I'm logged in, but I never get the prompt back. It's just hung there. So auth seems to be working according to the log but I never see the banner or a prompt that accepts typing. I have tried from Windows 10, Mac and Linux.
I'm very interested in the camera guide if you have a work in progress. My camera arrives tomorrow.

https://www.instructables.com/id/DuetWifi-HTTPS-Proxy-and-Camera-Using-RaspberryPi-/Would you be willing to put this in the Duet Dozuki Wiki?
If not, would you be offended if I did?
Thanks,

@3dmntbighker Ok, I will change it so that it have the double quotes.
@Danal You are more than welcome to add it to the wiki. As mentioned, my work was simply compiling it and ordering it. You can also, if you see a need for it, change grammar and spelling - English is not my native language.
-
@danal great if you did. can you link to @Jacotheron 's instructable if you do and focus the documentation on what to do, with the explanation of the background left in the instructable.
@Jacotheron thanks for writing this up, I plan on giving it a go as soon as possible. Do you think it is possible to put together a Pi zero image with everything configured (other than the obvious WIFI settings , printer name etc?
Torbjorn (of hang printer fame) has done his for the hangprinter development environment under Ubuntu
-
@T3P3Tony I am actually a beginner with regards to a Raspberry Pi, how would I go about creating that image?
-
@jacotheron I am not up to speed with it either. I will look into it once i get a version working.
