Base Raspberry Pi images

Creating a new base images

TL;DR

From within a fresh Raspian install, run the user data script. Then shutdown and image the disk.

curl -SLs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mystopia/raspberrypi-images/master/scripts/user-data.sh | sudo bash

Guided

Create a fresh and up-to-date Raspian + Adafruit Occidentalis. The system is hostname and WiFi configurable. Simply insert your disk into a card reader and edit occidentalis.txt accordingly.

Note that the plain shell prefix $ denotes the host.

1. Grab Raspian Jessie Lite to use as our base image.
2. Write the image to disk (might need sudo)

$ dd if=2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/rdiskX

1. Once completed, safely eject and remove the disk.
2. Using the fresh disk we just created, boot the pi with a wired internet connection.
3. SSH into the pi ssh [email protected]
4. Survey your network for possible IPs with something like arp -i en0 -a | grep -v incomplete
5. [Optional] Once identified, install your SSH key

$ ssh-copy-id [email protected]

1. Run our user data script.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -SLs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mystopia/raspberrypi-images/master/scripts/user-data.sh | sudo bash

1. Create the disk image using a card reader
2. Shutdown the pi with sudo shutdown -h now
3. Insert the disk into the host's card reader
4. Create the image

$ sudo dd bs=1m if=/dev/rdiskX | gzip > raspberrypi.img.gz

1. Test the image by restoring it to a different disk

$ gzip -dc raspberrypi.img.gz | sudo dd bs=1m of=/dev/rdiskX
