ansible-shairport

Ansible playbooks for setting up shairport sync on an Raspberry pi running CentOS 8 Stream

Getting the Image

% curl -O https://people.centos.org/pgreco/CentOS-Userland-8-stream-aarch64-RaspberryPI-Minimal-4/CentOS-Userland-8-stream-aarch64-RaspberryPI-Minimal-4-sda.raw.xz

Updating the Image

If you are using usb to boot the image instead of an sdcard you will need to update the image since it defaults to booting from /dev/mmcblk0. The update_image.sh script will extract the image and update the cmdline.txt file to point the root entry to the PARTUUID so it will work for both sdcard and usb. If you will only ever use the sdcard you can skip this step.

% sudo ./update_image.sh CentOS-Userland-8-stream-aarch64-RaspberryPI-Minimal-4-sda.raw.xz

Writing the Image

You can write the image to your sdcard or usb drive for use in the raspberry pi by using the dd command. Replace [BLOCK] with the appropriate device that the sdcard or usb drive has showed up as. Please be very careful here to specify this correctly since you will overwrite any data on that device. On my system this is /dev/sdb, it may also be /dev/mmcblk0.

% xzcat CentOS-Userland-8-stream-aarch64-RaspberryPI-Minimal-4-sda.raw.xz | sudo dd of=[BLOCK] bs=1M status=progress
