Latest revision as of 21:29, 1 August 2025

This section covers the steps necessary for setting up a local collaborative environment on a computer. In practical terms, this means setting up a Raspberry pi with an operating system for a number of users to access and work together on.

Section Content:

01.0.5 Users, collective work, names
- Here we discuss some of the things you might want to bare in mind when beginning collective working, like naming convention and user permissions
01.1 Hardware and OS
- Setting up a single board computer (SBC)/Raspberry pi with an operating system/Armbian
01.2 Creating Users
- How to create users for your SBC and assign permissions
01.3 SSH
- Setting up SSH in order to access your SBC remotely
01.4 TMUX
- Installing and using a multiplexer for co-working

-* Raspberry pi + peripherals: HDMI screen, keyboard, mouse etc. We’re using a Raspberry pi. <code>You don't necessarily need to use a pi to create a collaborative environment, you could use another type of computer. To understand more about why we chose to use a pi, you can find our notes here</code>[https://wiki4print.servpub.net/index.php?title=Chapter_2a:_Server_Issues:_Platform_Infrastructure Chapter 2a: Server Issues: Platform Infrastructure]`
+** Installing and using a multiplexer for co-working
-* Pi OS booted: The Rosa Server Guide recommends [https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/ Armbian OS]
+[[Category:Docs]]
-* Knowledge of terminal/bash <code>For an intro to basic terminal/bash commands see</code> [[05 Appendix/NA-Terminal Unix Commands Cheat Sheet|NA-Terminal Unix Commands Cheat Sheet]]
-* Have SSH installed on laptop. Most OS have it by default now, if not then manually install following the steps under [[01.3 SSH]]
-===== Note on terms: =====
-Throughout these docs we’ll be referring to the server and the client:
-* Server = Raspberry Pi/SBC (Single board computer)
-* Client = your laptop
