This page lists the differences between the default Raspbian wheezy image and the one from the Open Lighting Project. If you create your own install from scratch you probably want to do most of these changes as well. The goal of this image is to produce an image as small as possible for end user use. To this aim, development packages, compilers and non-essential packages are removed.
- Password for the pi account changed to 'openlighting'
- Rootfs expanded to 4GB using `sudo raspi-config`
- Simon's key installed into /home/pi/.ssh/authorized_keys
- Timezone set to US/Pacific
- Modified /etc/rc.local to regenerate keys on first boot
- Added the Open Lighting Debian Repo to /etc/apt/sources.lists : deb http://apt.openlighting.org/raspbian wheezy main
- Root ssh access has been disabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Packages installed:
screen vim ola ola-rdm-tests deborphan debfoster localepurge
- Packages removed:
dbus-x11 desktop-base desktop-file-utils dillo gdb gdbserver gconf-service gconf2 gconf2-common gnome-icon-theme gnome-themes-standard gpicview gtk2-engines:armhf hicolor-icon-theme gcc g++ g++-4.6 gcc-4.6 gcc-4.4-base gcc-4.5-base gcc-4.6-base libc6-dev libtagcoll2-dev libwibble-dev libxapian-dev libfm-gtk-bin libfm-gtk1 libgtk2.0-0:armhf libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common netsurf-gtk penguinspuzzle omxplayer netsurf-common mupdf menu-xdg lxde-icon-theme lxmenu-data luajit samba-common scratch smartsim squeak-plugins-scratch squeak-vm usbmuxd xserver-common xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xdg-utils xauth x11-xkb-utils x11-utils x11-common
- Remove orphaned packages:
deborphan | xargs apt-get -y remove --purge
- Purge removed packages (if you didn't use --purge above)
dpkg -l | awk ' /^rc/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-get -y remove --purge
- Upgrade & clean up:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade apt-get autoremove apt-get clean
- Finally zero out the remaining space, so that the zipped image is smaller:
cat /dev/zero > fill rm fill
This gets the image down to 609MB in the root fs.
Git Image
The following additional changes are done for the git image. The ola debian package normally does this, but since we're installing from source we need to do it ourselves.
- OLA dependancies have been installed (microhttpd, libusb, etc.)
- The OLA git repo has been cloned into /home/ola/ola
- The ola account was added and added to the dialout & plugdev groups
- /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules was updated according to OLA_Device_Specific_Configuration
