# System Installation

# Without monitor nor keyboard

Find where is the location of your physical mm card and not partition.
Example :

  • mmcblk0
  • ~mmcblk0p1~

And then, burn the unziped image with dd. Partitions will be copied because dd is low level copy tool 😃
Do not forget to sync after dd operation.

dmesg -T

sudo \
dd \
bs=1M \
if=/home/baptiste/Downloads/2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-lite.img \
of=/dev/mmcblk0
sync

Unplug + plug again mmc card. And mount both fresh partitions.
I mounted like this.

...
mmcblk0                   179:0    0 119.1G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1               179:1    0   256M  0 part /run/media/baptiste/boot
└─mmcblk0p2               179:2    0   1.5G  0 part /run/media/baptiste/rootfs

enable sshd service by just creating an empty file.

touch /run/media/baptiste/boot/ssh

Fix the ip by editing the commented lines.
Example :

Iphostname
192.168.1.100pi1

File is owned by root, so edit with sudo or root connected.

sudo vim /run/media/baptiste/rootfs/etc/dhcpcd.conf

  • Unplug the card from your laptop.
  • Plug it into the raspberry

# Configure raspbian system

Wait few seconds. You can test if ssh is listening with netcat.

nc -zvn 192.168.1.100 22
192.168.1.100 22 (ssh) open

Use ssh with public key instead of password.

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | \
ssh pi@192.168.1.100 \
"mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat >>  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Now you can directly connect to raspi without prompting password. And setting system config

ssh pi@192.168.1.100

passwd

apt update && apt install -y vim && apt upgrade -y

hostnamectl set-hostname pi1
vi /etc/hosts

reboot

# Installing Docker

For Raspbian, installing using the repository is not yet supported. You must instead use the convenience script.

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

sudo systemctl enable --now docker

# Installing K3S

# Enabling legacy iptables on Raspbian Buster

Raspbian Buster defaults to using nftables instead of iptables. K3S networking features require iptables and do not work with nftables. Follow the steps below to switch configure Buster to use legacy iptables:
sourcesopen in new window

sudo iptables -F
sudo update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
sudo update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy
sudo reboot
