• Raspberry Pi, anything would really work, for pi 0w networking would need to be added and wifi isn't ideal
• microSD card, 16-32gb very reasonably more than enough
• Decent power cord, Raspberries are tough boards but not when it comes to inconsistent power supplies
• Internet conection, ether hardwired preffered but will also go over wifi setup

• Image of the OS to flash on the SD card for the pi. Recommend the light weight headless (withouth desktop enviornment) Raspberry Pi OS Lite

• check your hashsums

linux sha256sum 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip MacOS shasum -a 256 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip

insure ouput matches the websites (lite is currently 'd49d6fab1b8e533f7efc40416e98ec16019b9c034bc89c59b83d0921c2aefeef')

• Program to flash the SD card, etcher works great

debian based distros sudo apt update && sudo apt install balena-etcher-electron MacOS brew install balenaetcher Download for any OS here: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

• Run etcher, select OS image, select sdcard, flash sdcard
• After flashing remount the card if needed and create file of name 'ssh' with zero content in /boot directory

linux touch /media/$USER/boot/ssh MacOS touch /Volumes/boot/ssh Windows create and save a file with name 'ssh' no extention in the /boot directory of the card

• Unmount the card and plug everything in to go -unless you need wifi *

linux vim [or nano or whatever] /media/$USER/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf MacOS vim [or nano or whatever] /Volumes/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf Windows create and save a file with name 'wpa_supplicant.conf' no extention in the /boot directory of the card

For each OS the contents of the 'wpa_supplicant.conf' file should be:

	country=US		#change country if needed
	ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
	update_config=1

	network={
		ssid="NETWORK-NAME"
		psk="NETWORK-PASSWORD"
	}

• Find the IP address of your pi, either logging into the network router or scanning the network will work fine
• If you don't have nmap install it; the flags are -v verbose, -A aggressive (enables OS detection), -T4 the speed of the scan, 192.168.???.???, 10.?.?.? CIDR notation for your local network

nmap -v -A -T4 192.168.0.0/24

• If accessible to you it's probably faster to just login to your router in a browser at the gatway address

http://192.168.0.1

• SSH into the pi

ssh [email protected].??? password: raspberry

• change the password from default

passwd leave session open

• Generate SSH keys on host machine if you don't have them (currently two of the strongest key options)

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "comments to distinguish this key" ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -C "comments to distinguish this key"

• add the ssh-keys to your ssh-agent (on both mac and linux)

ssh-add

• check keys were added

ssh-add -l

• Pass the your ssh-key to the raspberry

ssh-copy-id [email protected].???

• return to previous session to ensure ssh-key is within ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

• There are a ton of ways to continue to harden the pi's operating system, just going to go over some of the most significant*

• After changing password make changes needed within raspi-config

sudo raspi-config + change gpu memory to 16 + set local to en_US rather than en_GB (use space bar to deselect) Be sure to select UTF-8 + Expand file system + finish -> reboot

• Change ssh configurations, relogin through ssh

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config change lines

PermitrooRootLogin No

PasswordAuthentication No

• Lots more could be done but those most important

• Now for updates and programs but if you block ipv6 traffic on your network like myself to avoid dealing with it you may need to diable it on the pi, as I've found to recently be the case (https://www.leowkahman.com/2016/03/19/disable-ipv6-raspberry-raspbian/)

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

	add this line
    net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

sudo sysctl -p

sudo reboot

I'm dealing with some network debugging im stuck on but from here should be able to just (I'll restarted everything today at somepoint and sure it'll be fine after)

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt install vim git

• docker is a little funky on pi, they have a helper script (should just be something like these)

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sudo sh get-docker.sh sudo usermod -aG docker Pi

• may need to start or enable the daemon as well

sudo systemctl enable docker
