Plexamp installation

This set of instructions is supposed to help you install Plexamp on a totally headless system. The steps below and the script have been tested on Raspberry Pi Zero 2W without any issue. Feel free to submit pull requests if you notice anything is unclear or missing.

Flashing SD Card

These steps should help you flash Raspberry Pi Os Lite onto a SD card.

1. Download Raspberry Pi Os Lite for 64-bit systems.
2. Insert your SD card into your computer.
3. Install and run balena Etcher, select the image downloaded at step 1 and the SD card inserted at step 2, press Flash.
4. Once the flashing process has concluded, mount the boot partition of the SD card.
5. Create a blank ssh file in the boot partition so that ssh is activated directly.
6. Still in the boot partition, create a file userconf.txt that contains the following line pi:$6$VK61vudeQ.k2op9s$ahMaom/fCgj/YzwsBDZDd21W3RdarHFpUVIHEW3JalCHxxxyWfRjzV0shzPtrB4PPKO5MzYQr754NmUHvbU8r0. This will create user pi with password 1234 on the first boot.
7. One last file to add to the boot partition is a one called wpa_supplicant.conf that contains your wifi SSID and password. An example file is showcased below.

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
  ssid="YOUR_WIFI_SSID"
  scan_ssid=1
  psk="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

8. Once done, unmount your SD card, insert it into your Pi and plug your Pi to its power supply.

Connecting to your Pi

1. Acknowledge your Pi's IP address either by pinging your pi ping raspberrypi or by reading it from your router graphical interface.
2. ssh into it with ssh pi@<ip-address> and enter the password 1234
3. Change the password by typing passwd.
4. Update your system with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
