Automation of sdcard image building and provisioning for ARM. At first you need to adjust a configuration file, it's placed in rpi.json

Requirements:

• vagrant
• VirtualBox

Quick start

1) Running built image

make build_raspbian_arm CONFIG=rpi.json
make run_raspbian_arm

2) Flashing built image into sdcard

make build_raspbian_arm USER_PASSWD=some_passwd
make flash_sdcard MMC_DEVICE=/dev/mmcblk0

Usage with Ansible

make build_raspbian_arm PLAYBOOK=/path/to/ansible/playbook.yml

If you are using roles from Ansible Galaxy, then you may want to install them at first. To install Ansible Galaxy roles create a file .image-builder.sh in same folder as playbook.yml The file needs to be executable.

Example:

#!/bin/bash

ansible-galaxy install blackandred.server_multi_user
ansible-galaxy install blackandred.server_docker_project
ansible-galaxy install blackandred.server_ssh_fallback_port
ansible-galaxy install blackandred.server_basic_software
ansible-galaxy install blackandred.server_basic_security

Usage without Ansible

You may want to delete Ansible section in rpi.json and run just:

make build_raspbian_arm

Parameters

If you do not want to always type parameters in shell you can save them in the .env file.

Example of .env file:

MMC_DEVICE=/dev/mmcblk0

With such env file you can type just:

make flash_sdcard
