Linux

Instructions for a quick start getting all my usual software and setup on a fresh Linux install.

A brief set of instructions on installing Armbian 26 on an ODROID-HC2 machine. It includes setting up Samba and Docker + Portainer.

After nearly a decade of faithful service I was thinking about giving my aging ODROID-HC2.

Quick instructions on getting Nginx up and running again for my site using Docker and Portainer.

A brief set of instructions on installing Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm) on my Raspberry Pi 2b. It includes setting up Samba and Docker + Portainer.

I was going to use the latest version (Trixie), but unfortunately there are no Docker sources for it right now.

There’s been a lot of excitement over the past 2 years regarding the Raspberry Pi. The Pi is a wonderful piece of hardware / software with a great community behind it. I’m definitely a fan and would happily recommend one to a friend, but there’s another player that is possibly even more exciting for the hardcore nerds - the BeagleBone Black (BB).

I’ve spent a lot of time in the last few months playing around with low power Linux based devices. As power becomes more expensive, and computers push out more heat and noise I find myself looking for ways to enjoy the comforts of always-on-service without paying the heat and noise toll.
