Prepare a Dowse RPi image snapshot system #19

Closed jaromil closed 6 years ago

jaromil commented 8 years ago

Using Devuan as base system

parazyd commented 8 years ago

For the network setup, do you have any ideas on automating the setup? Usecase for example when a user just wants to power on the device and use Dowse?

jaromil commented 8 years ago

Two main use cases:

  1. (default) Dowse starts up as a WIFI AP, seeking for DHCP on the ETH, assuming is WAN.
  2. (advanced) Dowse offers DHCP on ETH, then starts up as a WIFI antenna scanning for APs

In zuper there are new functions to operate some scans, they are prefixed as net.

Definitely interested this. Since it seems I cannot make install on the latest Rasbian for RPi2.

Hi Yann! To build your own image you can use our same base system which is Devuan, we have RPI1, 2 and 3 images ready here https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie_beta/embedded/ along with many other platforms. If you like to chip in to support our development effort then you can also pre-order an SD image loaded with a stable version of Dowse once ready on https://www.produzionidalbasso.com/project/dowse-the-privacy-hub-for-the-internet-of-things (in the Rewards section). Thanks for your interest!

@jaromil Thanks! I've tried dd'ing the image on an microsd card, and still had not success connecting with ssh. :') I'll keep trying to get it to work, and will look into the rewards section

parazyd commented 7 years ago

I am due to refresh all those images that are available for download soon. There might be bugs in some ATM. Sorry for the incovenience.

Technoprenerd commented 7 years ago

Okay, no problem.

The bug is that the ssh connection keeps getting reset/closed. Not even password prompt.

parazyd commented 7 years ago

@Technoprenerd That's because the keys aren't regenerated probably. You can change /etc/rc.local on the sd card. See this: https://github.com/dyne/arm-sdk/blob/next/extra/generic-root/etc/rc.local

This commit didn't get included in the current embedded images.

Technoprenerd commented 7 years ago

@parazyd Aha, that way. Thanks, will check and try this out.
