# WIP Project



## Pi installation

-   download the dietPi image from the official website: [dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-ARMv6-Buster.7z](https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-ARMv6-Buster.7z)

-   unzip the file e.g. with 7zip to extract the image

-   download balenaEtcher from the official website [balena.io/etcher/](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) and open it

-   select the image `DietPi_RPi-ARMv6-Buster.img` in the first step and select the plugged in sd card as target in the second step

-   click "Flash!" and wait until it is finished

-   after that, you might need to remove the sd card and plug it in again (if the system ejected the sd card after flashing)

-   copy and replace the files `pi-config/config.txt` and `pi-config/dietpi.txt` into sd root folder

-   fill in the following variables in line 34 and 36 of the dietpi.txt:

```

AUTO_SETUP_NET_STATIC_IP=

[...]

AUTO_SETUP_NET_STATIC_GATEWAY=

```

-   you might change the keyboard layout settings by replacing "de" with your country code and change the wifi code and time zone

-   open `dietpi-wifi.txt` and add your SSID and KEY of your wireless network

-   save the files and eject the sd card of your computer

-   plug the sd card to your pi and start it

-   on a console, you can run `ping -l ` to check when the pi is available

-   start powershell to connect to your pi via `ssh -l root  -p 22`

-   default username is `pi` and password is `dietpi`

-   you need to agree the license and you should see the installation process starting

-   it is recommended to change passwords (you will be asked for it)

-   the serial console can be disabled

-   reaching the dietpi-software window, you should add the following software:

    -   **Software Optimised**

        -   Hardware Projects -> `WiringPi: gpio interfaces library (c)`

    -   **Software Additional**

        -   System -> `XServer: linux display system`

        -   Shared Libraries -> `Java: OpenJDK + JRE Library`

        -   Development / Programming

            -   `Build Essentials: common packages for compile`

            -   `Git Client: git clone etc`

        -   [Optional!] Text Editors -> `Vim: vi enhanced text editor`

-   hit `Install` and wait



After system reboot:

-   run `sudo -i` to login as sudo

-   run `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade`

-   run `git clone https://github.com/LeonStoldt/Lovebox.git` into your $HOME folder (/root)

-   run `apt-get install maven`

-   run `cd Lovebox`

-   run `vim /root/Lovebox/src/main/resources/application.properties` (use e.g. nano instead of vim if optional part was skipped)

-   add the telegram token and change `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` to `create` instead of validate for first run

-   run `mvn clean install`

-   check if the database files are created with `ls -la /root/Lovebox/db` you should see a db file

-   run `vim /root/Lovebox/src/main/resources/application.properties` again and change `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` back to `validate` 

-   run `echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nsudo bash /root/Lovebox/src/main/resources/lovebox.sh |& tee /root/lovebox.log' > /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh`

-   run `dietpi-config` and select AutoStart Options

-   choose 14: Custom.sh - /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh

-   exit dietpi-config reboot



-   dietpi config > audio > soundcard "onboard: force hdmi output" (rpi-bcm2835-hdmi-eq)

-   dietpi config > audio > dietpi JustBoom > ALSA Mixer "turn up to 100%"



## Troubleshooting and helpful links



-   see more details on ssh login: add `-v` to ssh command



-   run `systemctl status dietpi-autostart_custom` to see system info on startup failures of custom script



-   check if `/var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh` ist executable (otherwise run `chmod +x /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh`)



-   Try installing the following and reboot. It should enable HTML5 video and audio in Midori, kweb, Luakit and any other webkit based browser. `sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly`
