Setup Base Image (Other)

1. Login as administrator

2. Set hostname

   hostname myNode
   

3. Add admin user

   sudo useradd -p $(openssl passwd -1 bolt) -m -s /bin/bash admin
   sudo adduser admin sudo
   

4. Update OS

   sudo apt-get -y upgrade
   

5. Install some basics

   sudo apt-get -y install tmux
   

6. Reboot

   sudo reboot
   

7. Log back in as admin

8. Delete default users for your specific device (if any)

   # For example:
   # sudo deluser pi
   # sudo rm -rf /home/pi
   

9. Sync

   sync
   sudo shutdown -h now
   

10. Make image now (if imaging)

    To make image:

    • Shutdown device
    • Remove SD Card
    • Backup SD card on PC (something like https://howchoo.com/g/nmexndnlmdb/how-to-back-up-a-raspberry-pi-on-windows)
    • Now, you can reflash and start over from this point if necessary by flashing image onto SD card

    Final results:

    • Image with SSH access
    • Root user disabled
    • Default user admin with password bolt
