Recreate RPi 0 image

[ezio-melotti]

We should (re)create a new image for the RPi 0s:

• [x] Install the Rasbperry imager and insert the SD card in the PC
• [x] Create a new standard image for the RPi 0 and move the SD card to the 0
• [x] Connect the 0 to the router using the Zero-to-Pi3-Adapter (or USB dongle with ethernet)
• [x] Install all the extra system dependencies:
  • [x] nmap
  • [x] vim
  • [x] tcpdump (net-utils)
  • [x] batctl
  • [x] mqtt (mosquitto-clients)
  • [x] ssh (openssh-server)
  • [x] avahi (avahi-utils)
• [x] Configure BATMAN and the mesh network
• [x] Clone the simoc-sam repository
• [x] Install Python dependencies from (dev-)requirements.txt (use venv?)
  • [x] Install modules for all the adafruit sensors we might use
• [x] Create a ~/.bash_aliases symlink that points to simoc-sam/bash_aliases
• [x] Create a bash_aliases file that includes aliases for:
  • [x] ll -> ls -l, la -> ls -a
  • [x] activate (to activate the venv)
  • [x] sam -> python simoc-sam.py (activate/deactivate venv)
  • [x] #66
• [x] Create a startup (?) script to update the IP based on the hostname
• [x] Test the image
• [x] Once everything is working fine, remove the SD card
• [x] Create a minified image from the SD card
  • [x] sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=file.img conv=sparse bs=512
  • [x] tar --sparse -cvf file.tar file.img
• [x] Use the Raspberry Imager to copy the image to other Raspberries 0
• [x] Update the network setting to use the right IP #67
• [x] ~Use raspi-config to extend the partition to take all the available SD card space~ (works out of the box with a sparse image)

The final image (RPi0final20240308.tar) has been created and installed on the RPi 0s before the start of the mission.
