LINUX INNARDS:

Pi Stuff

• Joe
  • After setting up Ubuntu 20.10 on the Pi I had to redo the setup for sshfs on the Pi. I also wanted to start with some fresh drives so I formatted all the drives and started the setup from scratch using the 4 repurposed 2.5 inch drives I had ready to go.  
  • I also set up the Pi to be a repetier host for my 3D printer to test out how well it worked.  
    • It installed and it opened but when I attempted to connect to the printer it would freeze
    • I suppose I could have written the repetier image and run it that way but I am short on SD cards and I didnt want to overwrite the ubuntu 20.10 image
  • The sshfs setup is not difficult.  I set the Pi to automatically connect at startup to my server over sshfs using compression
    • This does require to setup passwordless ssh using keys which is something that I tend to do anyway because of how much I use different machines at home
    • This was set up using cron @reboot because I was unable to get rc.local and if-up working
  • I also setup my server and my laptop to auto reconnect on internet connection back to the pi so that I always have what appears to be local access to the drives so long as I have an internet connection using if-up and if-down
  • This was a simple setup so I also made the pi my gateway for ssh and X2go to the rest of my machines from an external IP.  Fail to ban was easy to get going 
  • Then after all that, the fan started going out on my pi case so the noise was unbearable.  I need a new case.
