Raspberry setup by Asbesto

A solid setup for a raspberry sending videos / slideshow, can be rebooted / accessed by remote vpn, and make coffee.

This is for Rasp PI 3, quad core.

Howto about video / slideshow

• .mp4 files goes ONLY INTO /home/pi/video
• Pictures goes ONLY INTO /home/pi/foto

A script generate the video list to go on play, reading that dir /home/pi/video and creating a new list every X minutes or at every reboot.

so every added video will be added to the playlist.

To play only a particular video you must remove all others.

TODO ASBESTO, notepad

* ffprobe doesn't exist because DEBIAN SHIT, it was named avprobe. so dur.sh didn't worked. so listamp4.sh didn't generate any list. PORCODIO! changing ffprobe in avprobe inside dur.sh fixed everything.

Features

• Based on Raspbian
• All standard repo's

• Disk image ready with everything, <3GB

• READ ONLY boot partition to avoid shit on the FS in case of brutal poweroff. But so, crontab doesn't work, "at" also maybe not. TO BE CHECKED
• Simple network config in /etc/network/interface. Nothing else needed.
• Very simple startup bash script that launch everything. Other scripts in /home/pi/shells/
• Network config via ETH0 o WLAN0, cable o wifi.
• Automatic hostname as "raspamiXX" where XX = last number of the wlan0 IP address (same can be done with eth0)
• USB wifi dongles already configured with their own firmware etc.
• Implement a wifi scanner

• Screensaver & screen blanking disabled

• Automatic network check: if disconnected, reboot network subsystem, checking every 2 minutes.
• VPN access / mosh / screen

• VNC access under VPN

• Chromium installed
• ansible and recipes to mod every rasp in the network
• USB wifi dongles configured without the FUCKING POWERSAVING MODE.

IDEAS

• underclock sistema? non necessario al momento, non serve a un cazzo-
• VPN gestita interamente dai nostri server (zaverio.com) (voyanet cmq e' affidabile ed io sono root su una macchina apposita, quindi non so quanto

questo sia necessario)

• Mplayer accelerato per rasp pi: fare check su quei 2 link che sono spariti
• Test su programma in PYTHON per controllare OMXPlayer, che PARE usi addirittura OSC per fare solo POCHE cose.
• Check telecamerina del raspberry e test di streaming audio/video

ACCESSING THE SHIT

USER pi, PW vivabasaglia. Root pw is "ciaras".

System boots and launch /home/pi/shells/start.sh - from there, everything starts.

Automagic check for network up/down

Every 2 minutes this piece of shit check for network and eventually put it on again.

It's in background with "sleep 120" because here NO crontab due to the RO fs.

<pre> #!/bin/bash while (true); do

• x=ping -c2 google.com 2>&1 | grep unknown if [ ! "$x" = "" ]; then

  • echo date >> /home/pi/netcheck.log echo "Line is down. restarting..." >> /home/pi/netcheck.log service networking restart echo "done" >>/home/pi/netcheck.log

  fi

sleep 120 done </pre>

This script is named netcheck, in /usr/local/sbinand starts from /etc/rc.local:

<pre> # into rc.local nohup /usr/local/sbin/netcheck & </pre>

Hostname with last IP number in it

The script is "ultimo" in /usr/local/sbin/ultimo:

<pre> #!/bin/bash # # in base all'ultimo numero dell'IP del wifi, crea /etc/hostname. # IP=ifconfig wlan0 | grep addr: | sed 's/.*inet *//; s/ .*//' cn=$(awk -F. '$0=$4' <<< $IP) echo "raspami"$cn > /etc/hostname </pre>

and start from /etc/rc.local:

<pre> # change /etc/hostname adding last IP number from wifi /usr/local/sbin/ultimo & </pre>

VPN

We use Voyager's vpn

VPN install on rasp

<pre> sudo apt-get install openvpn </pre>

next, copy the .conf file already prepared with all certs etc. (ex. for rasp number 50 use 50.conf)

after that

<pre> openvpn ./50.conf </pre>

or copy 50.conf into /etc/openvpn/client.conf

and launch from /etc/rc.local

<pre> service openvpn start </pre>

VPN on our computers

Same shit but using our personal certs.

VNC server/client install and usage

A teamviewer-like piece of shit, very handy!

VNC installation on raspberry

Look https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/vnc/

<pre> sudo apt-get install tightvncserver </pre>

and launch tightvncserver to configure it, here you give a password that you will need to access.

in ~/shells/start.sh I added

<pre> vncserver :1 & </pre>

VNC installation on our computers

<pre> sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer </pre>

so just launch

<pre> vncviewer 172.16.66.9:1 </pre>

put the pw and desktop appears. END OF SHIT

Installazione ansible, e modo d'uso

*TODO - TODO - e' stato fatto ma e' da documentare.*

Ansible recipe to configure all raspberry

that's is /home/pi/pi.yml

WARNING, SPACES ARE PART OF THE SYNTAX. IF YOU MOVE THEM, NOTHING WILL WORK. YAML IS A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.

WARNING, SPACES ARE PART OF THE SYNTAX. IF YOU MOVE THEM, NOTHING WILL WORK. YAML IS A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.

LAUNCH with:

<pre> ansible-playbook --ask-pass ./pi.yml </pre>

For a single ip, ex. il 10.0.1.77, use

<pre> ansible-playbook --ask-pass -l 10.0.1.77 ./pi.yml </pre>

IP must be configured into /etc/ansible/hosts, as follow:

<pre> # This is the default ansible 'hosts' file. # # It should live in /etc/ansible/hosts # # - Comments begin with the '#' character # - Blank lines are ignored # - Groups of hosts are delimited by [header] elements # - You can enter hostnames or ip addresses # - A hostname/ip can be a member of multiple groups

# Ex 1: Ungrouped hosts, specify before any group headers.

[pi] 10.0.1.[51:99] ansible_ssh_user=pi # 192.168.1.249 </pre>

Disk settings

I made the sdcard as a 4GB one, also if is 32gb. To copy it:

<pre> dd if=/dev/sdb of=milano2.img bs=4096 count=1048576 </pre>

ACCESS / NETWORK

Ethernet: eth0, 172.16.0.50 fixed.

Login: user pi, pw vivabasaglia. sudo give root. pw root: ciaras

Wifi: wlan0 10.0.1.50 and up, gw 10.0.0.1

WARNING

in /etc/network/interfaces SET JUST ONE GW, OTHERWHISE 2nd network card (wlan0) won't start!

LOOK BELOW.

Make our distro compatible for arm 7 -> arm 8

<pre> sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-mods

sudo halt </pre>

and reboot.

BLACK SCREEN AT BOOT AVOIDING messages and logos

Edit /boot/cmdline.txt

boot log:

<pre>

• console=tty3

</pre>

instead of tty1

NO: better have logs to understand if it's booting or not. I left only loglevel=3 & logo.nologo

Fuck the logo: add at the end

• loglevel=3 logo.nologo

Actually /boot/cmdline.txt is like that:

<pre>

== lxde startup and HOW THEY'RE SON OF BITCHES ===

THOSE RASPBIAN BASTARDS CHANGED LXDE in LXDE-pi INTO ~/.config/lxsession so autostart didn't worked.

ASSHOLES

http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2014/05/how-to-autostart-apps-in-rasbian-lxde-desktop/

It's from there that I launch ~/shells/start.sh

WIFI dongle

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

From here you download the zip file, inside is the fucking firmware.

The .bin goes in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi

Next you need the correct driver according to the kernel: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=462982

For our kernel, Linux raspami1 3.18.7-v7+ #755 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 12 17:20:48 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

the correct firmware is

3.18.7-v7+ #755, #756 - 8188eu-v7-20150212.tar.gz

So, from root:

<pre> wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-v7-20150212.tar.gz tar xzf 8188eu-v7-20150212.tar.gz ./install.sh </pre>

and reboot!

Old notes

<pre> wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-20140307.tar.gz //make sure you use the correct dropbox url for your Raspberry version tar -zxvf 8188eu-20140307.tar.gz sudo cp rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi //not needed anymore if your operating system is above 3.10.33+ sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/3.10.33+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.10.33+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko sudo depmod -a sudo reboot </pre>

WIFI Scanner

• http://www.oak-wood.co.uk/oss/pifimon Pifimon. In perl, need libterm-readkey-perl (apt-get). untar, launch, it work.

• Script in /home/pi/shells/wifimon.sh

Get rid of LXDE background, putting a black background

Remove from background, and put it black. You do it from X. After that, from desktop options, remove trash icon, so now you have to just kill the panel.

Killing the panel

Kill lxpanel. If you need it again, relaunch with lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi : launch directly ~/shells/panel.sh

BLANK SCREEN disabling

<pre> xset -dpms xset s noblank xset s off </pre>

it's into ~/shells/start.sh

solve SLOW SSH

One workaround is to edit /etc/sshd_config on the sshd server machine, not your ssh client machine to set "UseDNS" to "no". (From the way you originally wrote your question, it sounded like you may have edited that file on your client, which wouldn't make a difference.)

Another solution would be to have your ISP (or whatever institution is responsible for your publicly-routable IP addresses) fix their reverse-DNS record for your IP address on their DNS name servers that are authoritative for the reverse-DNS records for that block of IP addresses. In other words, "make it so people can find your host name based on your IP address, and make sure the hostname they find maps back to your IP address". 7 mins · Unlike · 1

Set into ssh config: UseDNS no

HIDE X cursor after some seconds of inactivity

<pre> sudo apt-get install unclutter unclutter -display :0 -noevents -grab </pre>

GET RID OF POWERSAVING on wifi dongles!!!

Dando "lsmod" si vede che abbiamo il driver

<pre> 8192cu 528365 0 </pre>

Devi creare il file */etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf* contenente:

<pre> # Disable power saving options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=1 rtw_ips_mode=1 </pre>

e successivamente riavviare.

Configurazione di rete

Mettere solo questo in */etc/network/interfaces*

<pre> # ultima config testata, funziona, tira su tutto auto lo iface lo inet loopback

up eth0 allow-hotplug iface eth0 inet static

• address 172.16.0.50 # ogni schedino col suo IP ovviamente netmask 255.255.0.0 # non usarlo! gateway 10.10.1.1 # nota: un solo gw per le interfacce # altrimenti non sale la rete wifi!

auto wlan0 allow-hotplug iface wlan0 inet static

• address 10.0.1.50 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255 gateway 10.0.0.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 wpa-ssid KIP01 wpa-psk vivabasaglia

Problema ipotetico documentato su web: un FLASH puo' resettare il raspberry PI 2. E non i precedenti.

Il problema e' il chip U16 che sembra fotosensibile. Dovrebbe bastare coprirlo.

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/components/1000375/why-a-camera-flash-will-reboot-your-raspberry-pi-2

/home separata

/home e' separata dal sistema in una partizione a parte.

Sistema in READ ONLY?

BELLO sarebbe... SE FUNZIONASSE.

Solo /boot al momento si puo' mettere in read only, /tmp e' su tmpfs in ram, con dentro alcuni link di /var. Questo significa che crontab e' volatile e non resta memorizzato perche' sta su ram.

FORSE ha senso mettere i link di crontab su /boot in modo che resti un crontab con delle cose immutabili, ma modificabili rendendo scrivibile /boot quando serve. DA PROVARE

• https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=213440

• http://blog.pi3g.com/2014/04/make-raspbian-system-read-only/ sembra il sistema migliore! provare

USCITA HDMI sempre attiva

Va settata, altrimenti se il tv si accende dopo il rasp, automaticamente quest'ultimo switcha sul connettore video out.

Add these two lines to */boot/config.txt* and reboot Raspbmc:

<pre> hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_drive=2 </pre>

DUPLICAZIONE DELLE SCHEDINE

L'immagine e' milano2.img

• Metti la schedina
• sudo dd if=milano2.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4096
• togli e rimetti la schedina
• sudo gparted /dev/sdb
• espandi la partizione /home al massimo
• esci da gparted
• sudo joe /mountpoint/schedina/etc/network/interfaces e cambia l'ip della WLAN, NON TOCCARE eth0 ne' nient'altro.
• sync, umount
