Headless configuration of the PI zero with Raspbian image

• Download Raspbian Stretch Lite image from official repo and load it on the SD card
• In boot partition add the following line in config.txt file

# hifiberry mini amp
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac

• Add a file with name 'ssh' in boot partition
• Add a file 'wpa_supplicant.conf' file in boot partition

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
  network={
    ssid="#your_ssid#"
    psk="#your_pwd#"
  }

• Insert the SD card in PI Zero card slot and power it up
• Connect with putty in ssh ( login: pi /password: raspberry)
• Update raspbian

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

• Run raspi-config to configure timezone, locales, change password, ...

sudo raspi-config

• sudo wpa_passphrase '#your_ssid#' '#your_pwd#'

• sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

and replace psk with above provided key

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
  network={
    ssid="#your_ssid#"
    psk=513xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9cb8b
  }

• mount tmp directories in ram to spare SD card

sudo nano /etc/fstab

tmpfs /tmp  tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,size=10m 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,size=10m 0 0
# tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=10m 0 0

• You can also mount /var/log in tmpfs, but you then loose the logs for debugging
• Install needed additional packages

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils mpg123 screen nginx php7.0-fpm php7.0-curl at libttspico-utils

• reboot

sudo shutdown -r now
