Flashing (Raspberry Pi)
|
|
=======================
|
|
This guide is for flashing StartOS to a micro SD card in order to install it on a Raspberry Pi with an external SSD. Please contact support if you need to re-install your OS on a Lite (SD card storage).
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXTERNAL SSD. If you are running in a "Lite" configuration (everything on an SD card), then flashing in this manner WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA! Contact support for assistance.

Getting and Extracting the Image
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Visit the `Github release page <https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/latest>`_ to find the latest StartOS release.
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of the page, under "Assets," download the ``startos-..._raspberrypi.img.gz`` file.

|
|
|
Select your OS to continue:
|
|
|
|
.. tabs::
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Linux
|
|
|
|
(Optional, but recommended) Verify the checksum against the one listed on GitHub (SHA256):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sha256sum startos-0.3.4.2-efc56c0-20230525_raspberrypi.img.gz
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Mac
|
|
|
|
(Optional, but recommended) Verify the checksum against the one listed on GitHub by opening a terminal and entering:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
openssl dgst -sha256 startos-0.3.4.2-efc56c0-20230525_raspberrypi.img.gz
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Windows
|
|
|
|
(Optional, but recommended) Verify the checksum against the one listed on GitHub by opening Windows PowerShell, changing your directory to where you downloaded the .img.gz file, and running `Get-FileHash`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
cd Downloads
|
|
Get-FileHash startos-0.3.4.2-efc56c0-20230525_raspberrypi.img.gz
|
|
|
|
Installing StartOS
|
|
------------------
|
|
Once you have the StartOS ``.img.gz`` file, you will need to flash it onto a microSD card.
|
|
|
|
#. Download and install `balenaEtcher <https://www.balena.io/etcher/>`_ onto your Linux, Mac, or Windows computer.
|
|
|
|
#. Insert the microSD card into your computer, either directly or using an adapter.
|
|
|
|
#. Open balenaEtcher.

|
|
|
|
#. Click "Select Image" and select the ``.img.gz`` file.
|
|
|
|
#. Click "Select Target" and select your microSD card.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you have selected the correct target microSD card. Whatever drive you select will be **COMPLETELY ERASED**!!
|
|
|
|
#. Click "Flash!". You may be asked to approve the unusually large disk target and/or enter your password. Both are normal.
|
|
|
|
#. After the flash completes, you may remove the newly flashed micro SD card from any adapter, and insert it into your server's SD card slot.
|
|
|
|
#. Finally, continue to the :ref:`Initial Setup <initial-setup>`, :ref:`Manual Update <manual-update>`, or :ref:`Reset Password <reset-password>` instructions - depending on your need.
