Raspberry Pi Bootstrap

Follow these steps to have a pi up and running:

Download the OS Raspbian Lite. (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Flash the image to the SD-Card with etcher app (https://www.balena.io/etcher/)
enable SSH - Create file named "ssh" and drag it to the SD-Card.

enable or disable WiFi

- to DISABLE wifi & bluetooth add these two lines at the end of "/boot/config.txt"
- ```
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-bt
```

to ENABLE create a file named "wpa_supplicant.conf" with the following code and put it on the Sd Card

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=<Insert 2 letter ISO 3166-1 country code here>

network={
 ssid="<Name of your wireless LAN>"
 psk="<Password for your wireless LAN>"
}

Power up the Raspberry and access remotely with ssh pi@<remote host ip> and enter the default password "raspberry". For login with ssh key, generate the pub/private rsa keys if you dont have already one with ssh-keygen and copy the pub-key to the remote machine with ssh-copy-id pi@<remote host ip>
run sudo raspi-config to change hostname, change timezone, change password.
update the system with sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Done!

Customization

Message Of The Day : this is the message you see when you enter the terminal. For a new custom message create this file "/etc/profile.d/motd.sh". cd /etc/profile.d/ && sudo curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/albertobissacco/raspberryPiBootstrap/master/motd.sh. This file is loaded after /etc/update/motd.d and instead of the original /etc/motd.

Uninstall Docker

For older versions of docker installed via curl sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh You can remove docker with sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove docker

For newer versions according to online documentation sudo apt-get purge docker-ce
