# ⚡️ RaspiBlitz-on-DietPi ⚡️ This guide was tested on: * Odroid HC1 * Odroid HC2 (the same board with a 3.5" 12V HDD) * Odroid XU4 (with HDMI screen) * Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (with the default GPIO or HDMI display) See the [hardware comparison](/alternative.platforms/hw_comparison.md). The HDMI screen tested: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-5-inch-LCD-HDMI-USB-Touch-Screen-Real-HD-1920x1080-LCD-Display-Py-for-Raspberri/32818537950.html --- ## Specific instructions and downloads: [Odroid HC1 / HC2 / XU3 / XU4](Odroid_HC1_HC2.md) [Raspberry Pi](RaspberryPi.md) [Display install script](dietpi.display.sh) --- ## General guide for the RaspiBlitz-on-DietPi ### Setting up the DietPi OS Getting started with DietPi: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9#p9 * Start with an ARM based Single Board Computer listed on DietPi.com. At least 1GB RAM is recommended. Look for the SD card image for the specific SBC in the [download section](https://dietpi.com/#download). * Burn the image to the SDCard with [Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). * Insert the SDcard into your SBC. * Connect the HDD with a suitably powered adapter. Aim to use 2 USB ports or a separate power supply to power the HDD for a more reliable setup. * Power up and log in with the desktop terminal on Linux / MacOS or Putty on Windows: `ssh root@[IP-OF-DIETPI]` password: `dietpi` * If you are asked about updating DietPi, go ahead with it. This is not always a straightforward process, but it is best to build on the latest version. * In the DietPi software menu install `fail2ban` and make `OpenSSH server` the default SSH server. If there is a screen installed: within the Dietpi-Config menu set the Autostart to `7: Automatic login. ` Changing the SSH server will change the SSH keys again. To clear: `ssh-keygen -f "/home/[your-linux-username]/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "dietpi.IP"` * After every reboot log back in: `ssh root@[IP-OF-DIETPI]` password: `dietpi` * Should end up here on version v6.20.6 or higher: ![](pictures/bash_prompt.png) ### Run the RaspiBlitz build_sdcard.sh script * Use this format to build the SDcard with the Raspiblitz script: `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[GITHUB-USERNAME]/raspiblitz/[BRANCH]/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh [BRANCH] [GITHUB-USERNAME]` If you are working from a forked repo be aware of that the fork needs to be called `raspiblitz` for the git downloads to work. Example to run the dev branch of @rootzoll: `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/dev/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh dev rootzoll` This will take a couple minutes depending on your internet connection and the processing power of the SBC. * After the automatic restart log back in now as `admin`: `ssh admin@[IP-OF-RASPIBLITZ]` password: `raspiblitz` * From here he setup continues with the [RaspiBlitz Setup Process](https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/README.md#setup-process-detailed-documentation) --- ### Useful commands for debugging: During the Automated setup: `tail -n1000 -f /tmp/DietPi-Update/dietpi-update.log` - follow the dietpi-update process `tail -n1000 -f /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-automation_custom_script.log` follow the output of the build_sdcard.sh During the RaspiBlitz setup process: `lsblk` check the disk partitions `tail -n1000 -f raspiblitz.log` - debug logs of bootstrap.sh `sudo tail -f /mnt/hdd/bitcoin/debug.log` - continuous monitoring of bitcoind `sudo tail -n100 /mnt/hdd/bitcoin/debug.log` - shows the last 100 lines `sudo systemctl status lnd` - status of the lnd service `sudo journalctl -f -u lnd` `./home/admin/XXdebugLogs.sh` - debug log collection on the RaspiBlitz --- ## Excerpts from the [customized dietpi.txt](/dietpi/boot/dietpi.txt) to be used for a fully automatic SDcard building process. ### Automate installation with the dietpi.txt Need to copy to SDcard /boot/dietpi.txt after burning the image with Etcher. IMPORTANT: - Modifications to /boot/dietpi.txt will not be preserved on reboot . - Please ensure you edit from the DietPi-RAMdisk location: /DietPi/dietpi.txt NB: This is intended for advanced users, unless you know what you are doing, do not edit this file. ease use the DietPi programs instead. NB: Do not remove uncommented lines, as the items are scraped by DietPi programs, on demand. DietPi-Automation settings, applied on the 1st boot of DietPi, ONCE Sample: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/dietpi.txt #### DietPi-Software to be installed automatically Requires `AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 ` For a list of software index's (ID's), run '/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software list' No limit on number entries, add as many as you need and uncomment the line. DietPi will automatically install all pre-reqs (eg: ALSA/XSERVER for desktops etc) >install fail2ban AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=73 install OpenSSH Client #### SSH Server Selection: >0=none -1=dropbear -2=opensshserver AUTO_SETUP_SSH_SERVER_INDEX=-2 --- ## Custom Script (post-networking and post-DietPi install) Runs after DietPi installation is completed. Allows you to automatically execute a custom script at the end of DietPi installation. Option 1 = Copy your script to /boot/Automation_Custom_Script.sh and it will be executed automatically. Option 2 = Host your script online, then use AUTO_SETUP_CUSTOM_SCRIPT_EXEC=http://myweb.com/myscript.sh, it will be downloaded and executed automatically. | 0=disabled NB: Executed script log /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-automation_custom_script.log Find the Automation_Custom_Script.sh loaded with the build_sdcard.sh [here](/dietpi/boot/Automation_Custom_Script.sh) --- ## Guide to clone your SD-cards in Windows, MacOS and Linux and shrink the image in Linux: https://beebom.com/how-clone-raspberry-pi-sd-card-windows-linux-macos/
