Raspberry Pi IaC

Contains the Infrastructure as Code files which are used for provisioning my in house Raspberry Pi.

Prerequisites

The files within this repository should be run on a computer with Ansible installed which is only supported on MacOS and Linux systems. For Windows it can be run within a WSL distro (see this guide on how to set this up, make sure the repository is checked out on the WSL distribution itself).

Ansible control node prerequisites

Install Ansible (see instructions).

Environment prerequisites

The Raspberry Pi IaC code contained within this repository provisions the Raspberry Pi itself but doesn't provision all surrounding infrastructure which is presumed to be managed by hand. The following relevant configuration is assumed:

  1. A prepared Raspberry Pi.
  2. Cloudflare should be setup for managing the domain records of kleinendorst.info.

Raspberry Pi preperation

The Raspberry Pi should be installed and running with reachable SSH from the network.

  1. Setup its MicroSD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager (download). For CHOOSE OS select the : Raspberry Pi OS (other) > Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) option.
  2. When asked: Would you like to apply OS customisation settings? select EDIT SETTINGS. Select and fill in the following settings:
    1. Set username and password
    2. Set locale settings
    3. Enable SSH > Use password authentication (we'll harden it later to use public keys).
    4. Disable Eject media when finished (probably not really important but I heard it could prevent problems on Windows).
  3. Start the Raspberry Pi with an ethernet cable attached.
  4. Find the assigned IP of the Raspberry Pi in the router and configure DHCP to statically asign this address to the Raspberry Pi.
  5. Add the new Raspberry Pi to the hosts file using the internal IP.

Test if the Raspberry Pi is correctly configured by opening an SSH session to it (using its IP address).
