Configuring a pi to run Ronny for 12urenloop

1. Download and copy the raspbian lite .img file to an sd card

2. Mount the root partition and edit /etc/hostname to the desired hostname

3. Mount the boot partition and create a file named ssh (touch ssh) to enable ssh for one time

4. Insert the sd card and boot the pi

5. Ssh into the pi and run sudo raspi-config

   • Change the password to zeusisdemax
   • Enable ssh
   • Enable wait for network at boot
   • Set timezone to Europe/Brussels
   • Expand the filesystem
   • Quit (don't reboot)

6. Edit /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf

   • Change #NTP= to NTP=ntp.ugent.be

7. Run sudo systemctl enable systemd-time-wait-sync.service to allow waiting for the NTP server

8. Reboot the pi

9. Install git and pip on the pi

10. Run sudo -i && cd / && git clone https://github.com/12urenloop/Ronny-the-station-chef.git && cd Ronny-the-station-chef && pip install -r requirements.txt download Ronny and install the requirements

11. Create /etc/systemd/system/ronny.service, /etc/systemd/system/station.service, /usr/local/bin/ronny, and /usr/local/bin/station

12. In /etc/systemd/system/ronny.service paste

    [Unit]
    Description=Ronny, collects detections into a database
    Requires=network.target
    Requires=time-sync.target
    After=network.target
    After=time-sync.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    Restart=always
    User=root
    ExecStart=ronny
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    In /usr/local/bin/ronny paste

    #!/bin/bash
    
    cd /Ronny-the-station-chef
    /usr/bin/env python ronny.py

    In /etc/systemd/system/station.service paste

    [Unit]
    Description=Station, serves detections from the database
    Requires=network.target
    Requires=time-sync.target
    After=network.target
    After=time-sync.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    Restart=always
    User=root
    ExecStart=station
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    In /usr/local/bin/station paste

    #!/bin/bash
    
    cd /Ronny-the-station-chef
    uvicorn station:app --host 0.0.0.0 --reload

    Then enable the executables with sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ronny && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/station and enable the services with sudo systemctl enable ronny.service && sudo systemctl enable station.service

13. Restart the pi or run sudo systemctl start ronny && sudo systemctl start station to start the services
