I’ve been running a rpi for a couple of years now. Made it into a webserver, used it for playing with nginx and django.

At one point it failed. I did not know what, but i reset my sdcard and lost everything. Almost, i had backup, but it’s good to start from scratch. Turns out it was the psu.

Anyway, i’ve been reading that sd cards are unreliable, so i want to poot it from a ssd. This is what i’m gonna try today.

  • Write image to ssd via rufus
  • First boot dietpi and setup
  • intall fail2ban, openssh serve, neovim
  • copy ssh key cat C:\Users\astam\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh root@192.168.100.8 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
  • edit sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/dietpi.conf PasswordAuthentication to no
    • restart ssh systemctl restart ssh
  • install samba ???
  • nextcloud is tricky - but i’ll see if it’s needed
  • set share mount hdd add share in /etc/samba/smb.conf restart smbd
