Our implementation of the Kolibri ecosystem
This section assumes you have a flashdrive with the setup-a.sh and setup-b.sh scripts plugged into your SolidarityPi. If you don't, skip to the "Manual Quickstart" section.
The first time you start your SolidarityPi, it will take approximately 20 minutes to boot. When it does, enter the username pi and password kolibrifly.
Make sure you have your flashdrive with the setup.sh script plugged into the SolidarityPi. When you see the terminal prompt pi@kolibri:~ $, copy setup.sh from the flashdrive using something similar to the following command:
cp /media/ESD-USB/setup-a.sh .
cp /media/ESD-USB/setup-b.sh .
Confirm that you have successfully copied the file by typing ls into the terminal and pressing enter. The terminal should say setup-a.sh setup-b.sh.
Run the setup script using
bash setup-a.sh
Login to the SolidarityPi's GitHub account by entering:
gh auth login
and providing the login information. Then, run the second bash script using:
bash setup-b.sh
Reboot your SolidarityPi, or enter sudo systemctl start db-backup.service to begin the automatic backup.
Log into and connect your Solidarity Pi to the internet. Install git via:
sudo apt -y install git
Configure git using your Pi's GitHub username and email. For example:
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "nicks-spi"
Install the GitHub client via:
curl -fsSL https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null
sudo apt -y update
sudo apt -y install gh
Login to the SolidarityPi's GitHub account by entering:
gh auth login
and providing the login information.
Clone the Solidarity Pi repositories via:
gh repo clone Solidarity-Engineering/Solidarity-Pi-Bkups
gh repo clone Solidarity-Engineering/SolidarityPi
The last thing you need to do is set up the service that backs up the kolibri database to the GitHub repository whenever the Pi connects to the internet. Enter the following:
cp SolidarityPi/bkup-service.sh .
chmod u+x bkup-service.sh
sudo cp SolidarityPi/db-backup.service /etc/systemd/system/db-backup.service
sudo systemctl enable db-backup.service
Finally, either reboot or enter
sudo systemctl start db-backup.service
to start the automated backup service.
