RuneOS - DIY RuneAudio+R e

• For all Raspberry Pi: Zero, 1, 2, 3 and 4 (3+: not yet tested but should work)
• Create RuneAudio+R e from Arch Linux Arm latest releases.
• Interactive interface by Dialog
• With option to pre-configure Wi-Fi connection (headless mode)
• With options to exclude features, it can be as light as possible in terms of build time and disk space.

Procedure

• Prepare partitions
• Create Arch Linux Arm
  • Verify partitions
  • Optional - pre-configure Wi-Fi
  • Download and verify
  • Write BOOT and ROOT partitions
  • Connect PC to Raspberry Pi
• Create RuneAudio+R e
  • Select features:
    • Avahi - URL as: runeaudio.local`
    • Bluez - Bluetooth support
    • Chromium - Browser on RPi (Not available for RPi Zero and 1 - too much for CPU)
    • FFmpeg - Extended decoders
    • hostapd - RPi access point
    • Kid3 - Metadata tag editor
    • Python - Programming language
    • Samba - File sharing
    • Shairport-sync - AirPlay
    • upmpdcli - UPnP
  • Upgrade kernel and default packages
  • Install feature packages and web interface
  • Configure
  • Set default settings

Need

• Linux PC (or Linux in VirtualBox on Windows with network set as Bridge Adapter)
  • GParted and Files app (normally already installed)
  • Basic skill of terminal command line
• Raspberry Pi
• Network connection to Raspberry Pi
  • Wired LAN
  • Optional: Wi-Fi (if necessary)
• Micro SD card: 4GB+ for BOOT + ROOT partitions
• Optional: Micro SD card + USB drive (run RuneAudio+R from USB drive)
  • Micro SD card: 100MB+ for BOOT partition only
  • USB drive: 4GB+ for ROOT partition (or USB hard drive with existing data)
  • For hard drives or faster-than-SD-card thumb drives
• Optional: Monitor/TV to see boot process

Prepare partitions

• On Linux PC

Micro SD card only

• Insert micro SD card
• Open GParted app
• Unmount > Delete all partitions (make sure it's the micro SD card)
• Create partitions:

Optional: Micro SD card + USB drive

• Micro SD card
  • Unmount > Delete all partitions (Caution: make sure it's the SD card)
  • Format: fat32
  • Label: BOOT
• USB drive
  • Blank drive:
    • Unmount > Delete all partitions (Caution: make sure it's the USB drive)
    • Format: ext4
    • Label: ROOT
  • Drive with existing data:
    • No need to reformat or change format of existing partition
    • Resize the existing to get 4GB unallocated space (anywhere - at the end, middle or start of the disk)
    • Create a new partition in the new 4GB space
      • Format: ext4
      • Label: ROOT

Create Arch Linux Arm

• Open Files app
• Click BOOT and ROOT to mount
• Hover mouse over BOOT and ROOT and note the paths

# switch user to root
su

# get script and run
wget -qN https://github.com/rern/RuneOS/raw/master/usr/local/bin/create-alarm.sh; chmod +x create-alarm.sh; ./create-alarm.sh

• Errors or too slow download: press Ctrl+C and run ./create-alarm.sh again
• Follow instructions until PC to Raspberry Pi connection is up.
• At connecting propmt: confirm yes and password alarm

Create RuneAudio+Re

# switch user to root
su
# password: root

# run script
create-rune.sh

• Errors or too slow download: press Ctrl+C and run create-rune.sh again
• Notification shows when finished.

Optional

Create image file

Setup Wi-Fi auto-connect (if not set during build)

• On Linux or Windows
• Insert micro SD card
• In BOOT
  • Open file wifi0 with text editor
  • Replace "NAME and PASSWORD with ones for your Wi-Fi
  • If security of your Wi-Fi is wep, replace wpa as well.
  • Save as wifi
• Move micro SD card to Raspberry Pi
• Power on
