There is no need to resize the partition when using Armbian.
Run: `apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` to update the software on the Orange Pi and
`apt-get install screen curl nano htop fail2ban rsync man git ca-certificates` to install some basic system utilities.
128MB Swap was automatically configured.
# Node
No issues installing node or NPM using the install script.
`npm install -g ursa` and `npm install -g sqlite` ran without a hitch. Much auto-compiling.
I used `npm list -g --depth=0` to confirm that the packages were successfully installed.
# Duck DNS
*I am following (and elaborating on) these instructions: https://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp*
*I setup the Orange Pi as ppl1.duckdns.org*
You can run ran `ps -ef | grep cr[o]n` to check and see if cron is installed, it is installed by default in Raspbian.
You can run `curl --version` to make sure curl is installed.
Then run `mkdir duckdns` to create the `duckdns` folder, then you can run: `cd duckdns` to enter the folder. Then you need to create `duck.sh`
Add this line into the file `echo url="https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=example.duckdns.org&token=a7c4d0ad-114e-40ef-ba1d-d217904a50f2&ip=" | curl -k -o ~/duckdns/duck.log -K -`
(You need to replace `example.duckdns.org` with your Duck DNS URL for your domain and the gibberish after `token=` with the token you can find in your Duck DNS interface: https://www.duckdns.org/domains.)
I like more output showing that it was successful that just `OK` so I added `&verbose=true` right after `ip=` on that command above.
Then make the file executable using `sudo chmod 700`
Then we can setup cron to run the script every 5 minutes by running: `crontab -e` and adding this line to the bottom:
`*/5 * * * * ~/duckdns/duck.sh >/dev/null 2>&1`
Then save and exit.
Then test the script by running `./duck.sh`
You can then see if the attempt was successful by running: `cat duck.log`
# Weird but not important stuff
Had to run `sudo update-command-not-found` to update `command-not-found`
# Gitea setup
I setup Gitea using the following procedure:
Make a directory: `mkdir gitea`
Go into it: `cd gitea`
Download Gitea for ARMv7 boards: `curl -O https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.4.0/gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7`
Download the sha256sum: `curl -O https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.4.0/gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7.sha256`
Verify the binary: `sha256sum -c gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7.sha256`
It should come back with something like: `gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7: OK`
Assuming the verification works, mark the file as executable by running `sudo chmod 700 gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7`
Then run Gitea using: `./gitea-1.4.0-linux-arm-7 web`
Then go to `http://your-ip-address:3000/`
I chose to use SQLite. Specify the options applicable to your setup, make sure you give your domain name and application address.
# Go Setup
