salt-raspi

A collection of Raspbian lite salt configurations and helper scripts.

Write Raspbian lite image to SD card

Use the included utility script write-image.sh, which should guide you interactively to writing the image to your SD card. If it fails without finding a proper SD card block device, try invoking it like this: write-image.sh /path/to/your/sdcard. The path will most likely be something like /dev/sdx

Setup new Raspberry

After successfully writing the image to an SD card, insert it into the Raspberry Pi and start it. Now connect to it via SSH with the default credentials (user: pi / password: raspberry). First of all make sure that you expand the file system by invoking sudo raspi-config and choosing Expand Filesystem. After a neccessary reboot, make a full system upgrade like so: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y. At the end you install git with sudo apt-get install git and clone this very repo by using git clone "https://github.com/flipdot/salt-raspi.git". Now cd into the bootstrap directory and call sudo bootstrap-minion.sh. Later, you can update salt by using sudo salt-call state.highstate 2>/dev/null
