Here, we'll discuss how to create a new custom image from the latest Raspbian OS and copy it into a SD card.

Creating Base Image

STEP 1

Spin-up & SSH into the Vagrant box if you are not using Linux.

vagrant up && vagrant ssh
cd base_image

STEP 2

Run the script with sudo.

sudo ./init-base.sh

This will perform the following

1. Creates a downloads
2. Download the latest raspios_armhf image
3. Enable SSH on image
4. Create new username & password for the default user
5. Generate the new 'custom' image - xxx-armf-ssh-enabled.img

Copy (dd) it into the SD card.

1. Exit from vagrant SSH.
2. Insert the SD card.
3. Run the following command to unmount it.

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2

4. Copy generated image to SD card - something similar to this.

sudo dd bs=4M status=progress if=base_image/downloads/2022-09-22-raspios-bullseye-armhf-ssh-enabled.img of=/dev/disk2
