Raspi-Deployment

A simple set of scripts to automate the tedious baseline configuration when installing a new raspberry pi, including basic network settings, user accounts, samba and backup to a local fileserver.

Usage

First Setup

  • Configure the needed network settings in the following files in the /config directory
    • dnsserver.txt => DNS servers
    • gateway.txt => Local gateway
    • subnet.txt => Subnet mask
    • workgroup.txt => Current workgroup
    • hostlist.txt => Entries will be copied to the hosts file
    • maclist => Containing the physical address of all hosts in the local network to properly identify the current one
  • Download the latest raspberry pi image and flash an SD card with it
  • Open the SD card, create an empty file called 'ssh' in the root of the sd card to enable ssh when first booting the raspberry
  • Create a new directory called 'deployment' in the root of the sd card
  • Copy the deployment scripts to the SD card
    • /deployment/[scripts]
    • /deployment/config/[config files]

Baseline configuration

  • Login with the defult pi/raspberry account
  • Run the following commands
cd /home/pi
mkdir raspi
cd raspi
mkdir config
sudo mv /boot/deployment/* /home/pi/raspi
sudo rmdir /boot/deployment

Users

  • Configure required users and root user in /config/raspiusers.txt and /config/raspirootusers
  • Run the following commands
cd /home/pi/raspi
sudo bash raspi-setup-network.sh
sudo bash raspi-setup-users.sh
sudo mv /home/pi/raspi /home/mmuffins/raspi
sudo chown -R mmuffins:mmuffins /home/mmuffins/raspi
sudo reboot
  • At this point, it's advisable to test logging in with one of the new users and remove the default admin account and double check if all sudo permissions were revoked
sudo deluser pi --remove-home
sudo visudo
#Remove the line 'pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' if it still exists

Backup

  • Configure the needed backup settings in the following files in the /config directory
    • backup.txt
  • Run the following commands
cd /home/mmuffins/raspi
sudo bash raspi-setup-backup.sh

Samba

  • Run the following commands
cd /home/mmuffins/raspi
sudo bash raspi-setup-samba.sh

  • Note that the steps above will take a while when they are executed on a raspberrz

  • It is also advisable to upgrade all installed software via

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove -y && echo "dist upgrade completed"
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && echo "upgrade and update completed"
  • Note that the steps above will take a while when they are executed on a raspberrz
