A program which lets you set up a Raspberry Pi solely by writing to the /boot partition (i.e. the one you can write from most computers!)
This variant is specific for Open Glider Network, derived from https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/pi-init2/
From your desktop / laptop:
- Download and write a standard Raspbian "jessie" SD card
- Unzip the latest release into the /boot partition
- Configure appliance/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf for your network (if using a WiFi connection)
- Remove the SD card and put it into your Pi.
The Raspberry Pi should now boot into a headless Open Glider Network system. The first boot takes a few minutes depending on your network, and which model of Raspberry Pi you use (I tested with a model B).
You can edit these files:
- appliance/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf - for wireless network credentials, if you're using a wireless adapter.
I've included a script called 'build-and-copy' which I use from an Ubuntu system to build the pi-init2 program and create a zipfile to copy to the SD card boot partition. Any contributions appreciated.
A ssh flag file is also included to enable ssh within Jessie Lite.
