Raspi Home Setup

A history of how my two raspberry pi headless machines were set up at home.

Consider writing a service to detect and deliver changes to raspberry PI IP addresses over a static location such as digitalocean/flask.

Apt
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. sudo apt-get install vim git tree tmux pwgen fail2ban
SSH Port
1. Add additional ssh port Port 2200 to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
2. Set PermitRootLogin to 'no' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
3. Restart ssh server: sudo service sshd restart
4. Add ssh port forwarding on router
Static IP: sudo vim /etc/dhcpcd.conf
1. Append this to the file (change as necessary):

interface eth0    
static ip_address=192.168.1.111    
static routers=192.168.1.1    
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

FIRST: Advanced Options -> Update (update the tool)
- Note: if this triggers an update, this file will need updated too.
Expand Filesystem (select it to auto expand)
Change User Password: pi password to a pwgen -cn 12 password
Boot Options -> Console
Internationalization
1. Set timezone to Pacific Ocean
2. Set keyboard to 101-key, US Standard
3. Set wifi country to United States
Advanced Options
1. Hostname -> Change to desired hostname
2. Memory Split -> 16 (headless needs no gpu)
3. SSH -> Enable (default)
