Skyminer Setup from Base Armbian Image

This guide documents the manual setup of skywire on base armbian (or raspbian) images running on a DIY or official skyminer.

1) Download or torrent the latest supported image for your board and extract it from the archive
2) Use balena etcher or the dd command on linux to write the image to a microSD card ex.:
- list block devices: lsblk
- flash the image to the desired disk: sudo dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/sdX
3) Insert the card into the board which you designate as hypervisor, and power on that board.
4) Determine the IP address of the board. (Check DHCP clients in your router's web interface -> http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1)
5) Reach the board via SSH ex.:
- ssh [email protected]
6) You will be prompted to set a new root password and create a user. It is not required to create a user (ctrl+C to cancel)
7) echo "term=LINUX" >> ~/.bashrc
8) Follow steps 1-4 (and optionally step 6) of the package installation guide
9) It is recommended to update the board at this point:
- apt update && apt upgrade
10) Repeat steps 2-9 of this guide on the next board of the same type
11) Follow step 5 of the package installation guide to configure the remote hypervisor on every visor
