Raspberry Pi

Common Activities and How to do Them

Configuration

Common configuration activity on Raspberry Pi OS:

sudo raspi-config

Update EEPROM:

The recommended process is:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
uname -a

However, this is not appropriate for the ADSB.im images since this could damage the application. Do this instead on those systems:

sudu rpi-update
sudo reboot

Verify update status:

uname -a
sudo rpi-eeprom-update

Cloning the SD card to an NVMe or SSD drive:

Install the rpi-clone utility

The information for the rpi-clone script is here: rpi-clone

Download and install:

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geerlingguy/rpi-clone/master/install | sudo bash

Clone the Disk

Execute the following:

sudo rpi-clone sda

This will take a few minutes.To verify, login and do a verify. The root partition should be /dev/sda2.

Install Tailscale

Tailscale is an easy to install and manage mesh VPN service.

Install GPG Key

curl -L https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/raspbian/$(lsb_release -cs).noarmor.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/tailscale-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tailscale-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/raspbian $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tailscale.list
sudo apt update

Install and Initialize Tailscale Software

sudo apt install tailscale
sudo tailscale up

Tailscale will present a login URL to follow to add the system to the Talescale network:

To authenticate, visit:

https://login.tailscale.com/a/ff50df0176f0

Copy and paste the current link. After authentication, the command prompt will return.
