Rock64 Webserver / NAS project

[mikedhoore]

To get started with the rock64 I first did some "Basic" configuration

1)     First of all I used etcher to burn the image on the eMMC with a µSD to eMMC converter.
        etcher : https://www.etcher.io
        Image : https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/latest (i have chosen Stretch minimal)
        µSD to eMMC : https://ameridroid.com/products/emmc-adapter
        
2)    After that I connected the board to the serial console and opened a terminal with putty
        Howto connect : https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5029
        PuTTY : https://www.putty.org/
        
3)    Once connected the first thing I did was change the host name

        Reboot for changes to take effect
        
4)    Then I changed the password for rock64 user and root user
        For rock64 user :     

Code:

$ passwd

        For root user :        

Code:

$ sudo passwd root

        
5)    To make sure I have a fixed IP address I configured following file like this
        File : /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0

Code:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.178.250
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.178.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.178.1

After saving the file I disabled the dhcp services with following code(to prevent IP-aliasing)    

Code:

$ sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service

Reboot for changes to take effect
        
6)    At last I updated the rock64 with following command to make sure that all services that are running on the system are the latest version

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade     

        
So far for the "Basic" configuration
