Raspberry Pi

First start with raspberry!

1. Download Raspberry Pi OS Lite image

Official site: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/

2. Copy image to SD card

 

- Raspberry Pi Imager - https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/

- balenaEtcher - https://www.balena.io/etcher/

3. First connection

login: pi
password: raspberry

4. Enable SSH

$ sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults
$ sudo su
$ systemctl enable ssh.socket
$ exit
$ sudo reboot

5. Update repositories

$ sudo apt-get update

6. Change keyboard layout

Fine your AP

$ sudo iwlist wlan1 scan | grep ESSID

Add info about access point to config file

$ vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
  ssid="bla-bla-bla"
  psk="secret password"
}

Set IP address

$ sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.88.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.88.1
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Set country for Wi-Fi (to activate 5Ghz)

via terminal:

$ sudo iw reg get
$ sudo iw reg set US

via raspi-config
$ sudo raspi-config
Localisation Options
  Change Wi-fi Country
    US United States
      OK
        Finish.

8. Install KODI

sudo apt-get install kodi

9. Install torrent client

$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

qbit is better

7. Install vim

$ sudo apt-get install vim

8. Настройка Locale

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8

In iTerm disable the checkbox "Preferences>Profiles>Default>Advanced>International>Set locale variables automatically on startup"

9. Connect remote usb drive

Identify The Devices Unique ID:
$ cat /var/log/messages | tail
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sda1

Auto Mount Configure:
$ sudo vim /etc/fstab

UUID=63AB615E7F0C41A6 /media/2tb ntfs-3g auto,nofail,noatime,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0

UUID=66f72624-fda3-0bf6-41f1-1e0d4b1df6b0 /media/4tb ext4 rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,users,nofail 0 0

$ sudo mkdir /media/2tb
$ sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/usb

# for ext4 uid parameters are unavailable. Root permissions will be changed automatically to User permission after mounting.

$ sudo mkdir /media/4tb

$ reboot

10. Настройка transmission

$ sudo systemctl stop transmission-daemon

$ sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
"upload-limit": 300,
    "upload-limit-enabled": 1,
    "download-dir": "/media/usb/Downloads",
    "download-limit": 1000,
