Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi with 64-bit OS Lite installed
• SSH access enabled
• Internet connectivity
• At least 2GB free disk space

Usage

Basic

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MannyPeterson/setup/master/setup.sh | sudo bash

Post-Installation

After the script completes:

1. Log out and back in for group changes to take effect
2. Reboot to apply GPU memory and kernel changes
3. Run sm list to see available services

Service Manager

The script installs a service manager (sm) for controlling services:

sm postgres start    # Start PostgreSQL container
sm postgres stop     # Stop PostgreSQL container
sm postgres status   # Check if running
sm postgres info     # Show connection details
sm postgres psql     # Connect via psql client
sm gradle status     # Check Gradle daemon status
sm list              # List all services
sm help              # Show help

Notes

• Script is idempotent - safe to run multiple times
• Designed for headless operation (no GUI dependencies)
• Wired Ethernet assumed (WiFi country set to US to avoid warnings)
