I have decided to have another look. Here are my notes, since re-factoring the old page seems a bit of a chore. And now part three, I may need to rebuild the OS image from scratch.

It is possible to make the Pi perform a first time boot with sshd enabled<\/a> for use if the Pi is headless. Do,<\/p>\n The ip address can be discovered using the router<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’d forgotten that plugging it in is obvious although power is micro USB. Fortunately I had recorded the critical parameters, the login still works.<\/p>\n I moved forward from a two year old Jessie OS image to Stretch, I find that often I came across the apt-get hangs, a lot<\/a>, feature. It seems it’s short of resources. I have made further comments on Raspbian & APT<\/a> on this wiki and deleted the rest from this page in March 2020.<\/p>\n I turned The desktop is barfed, it is missing all the icons; this talks about it<\/a>. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the desktop? What is the desktop? (Actually this went away once, I got to the status of a complete update!)<\/em><\/p>\n I have installed I haven’t remembered how the “pi” advertises it’s hostname. I have upgraded samba<\/a>, because it seems to come with a name daemon of some description and when I ran Shall I uninstall wolfram-engine? It seems to be a programming environment. Yes! Stretch is quite big.<\/p>\n How to back it up<\/strong>. See here at stack exchange<\/a>. The suggest this,<\/p>\n so is that Check https:\/\/github.com\/dfl1955\/ubuntu-tools, there are useful tools in that repo.<\/p>\n I have installed Raspi Check<\/em> and Juice SSH<\/em> on my phone. I had to add my login user to Raspi Check’s assumed default group. Shall I install Zabbix<\/em> somewhere? It might help monitoring the speed of the web sites. I chose to use uptime robot<\/a>.<\/p>\n This seems a bit shit and seems to be a problem with the electricity supply quality. This article on the raspbian community site<\/a> recommends buying a quality transformer. Using google with the search key “raspberry pi ups”<\/a> comes back with a bunch of suggestions. I supect that DDNS<\/span><\/p>\n I need this for this purpose;\u00a0here’s how to geek on the subject<\/a>, hope it’s UK relevant. This recommends using the router’s DDNS interface.\u00a0 In my case, I use BT, and they have a specific list that they claim to work with. I chose one of them; if I had wanted to use something else I could have used the alternate configuration of needing an agent and port forwarding records on the router.<\/p>\n No-ip has a software tool<\/a>\u00a0, this is called a dynamic update client, to let them know the address is still in use.

To Do<\/h4>\n
tor<\/code>\u00a0off also, I wrote a new check_service<\/code>\u00a0script using the service<\/code> command to examine the running services and service tor stop<\/code> to stop it. I found this<\/a> helpful. But it restarts on reboot … I have forgotten how to fix this<\/strong> and the little f*cker now seems to have systemd<\/code><\/a>. I have run systemctl disable tor<\/code>, let’s see if that works<\/p>\nimagemagick<\/code>\u00a0, baobab<\/code> and removed libreoffice<\/code>. I have also installed lshw<\/code> and locate<\/code>.<\/p>\napt-get install<\/code>, it said it needed to upgrade the samba package; samba<\/code> is also documented on this page on the raspberry site<\/a> and can now ‘see’ the pi on the network window. And now I can’t! I mucked around with the smb.conf file, so I remove and install.<\/p>\nBackup<\/h3>\n

Customisation<\/h4>\n
Reliability<\/h3>\n
powertop<\/code>\u00a0isn’t the answer to this problem.<\/p>\nwget|untar|make<\/code>.\u00a0 I have written a noip2.service file which is stored<\/a> at my github repo. This should be working and is something Zabbix<\/em> could help with as might raspicheck<\/code>. The no-ip daemon doesn’t seem to be working, asked to confirm again. Need to check this out.<\/p>\nUTServer<\/h3>\n
