| − | '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' is the suggested method to install '''SatNOGS Client''' (and friends) to a system. It currently supports Raspbian and Debian Stretch.
| + | {{Warning|Follow these instructions only if you are provisioning SatNOGS to Debian from another host or are installing on the same host. }} |
| | | | |
| − | =Raspbian=
| + | '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' makes the actual provisioning of the '''SatNOGS Client''' system. It is called, under the hood, when applying the configuration using [[SatNOGS Client Setup|SatNOGS Client Setup utility]]. It currently supports Raspbian and Debian (stretch and buster). |
| | | | |
| − | For Raspberry Pi, which is the reference platform for SatNOGS, a [[Raspberry_Pi_3|Raspbian image]] with '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' pre-installed is available.

| − | =Debian=
| + | For Raspberry Pi, which is the reference platform for SatNOGS, a custom Raspbian image with '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' pre-installed is available. Installation instructions are given in the [[Raspberry_Pi| Raspberry Pi Setup Guide]]. |

| − | *Download and install Debian 9 from here; <br />''https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/'' <br />Chose the net installer if you want to run a headless server. Only download AMD64 version. gr-satnogs does not support i386. <br />Install on your target machine and install the ssh server.
| + | ==Other distributions== |
| − | *Add your user to the sudo group; Become root. <code>su</code> <code>usermod -aG sudo yourUserName</code>
| |
| − | *A host system with Git and latest version of Ansible installed <br />Edit this file to install the latest Ansible. <code>nano /etc/apt/sources.list</code> <br />Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file; <br />deb <nowiki>http://ftp.debian.org/debian</nowiki> stretch-backportsmain <br />deb-src <nowiki>http://ftp.debian.org/debian</nowiki> stretch-backports main
| |
| − | *On the host system run the following commands.
| |
| | | | |
| − | <code>apt-get update
| + | Other distributions are not supported by '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''', as the pre-built packages won't be compatible. Thus, while derived from Debian, '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' is known to break for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. If you are an experienced user, a manual installation of all components could be possible. |

| | + | ===Prerequisites=== |
| | + | |
| | + | *A target Debian system. To install Debian please follow the [https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/installmanual Debian Installation Guide] and chose the net installer if you want to run a headless server. The target system can be the host itself. |
| | + | *A user (referenced later as ''youruser'') which is member of 'sudo' group exists on the target system. Don't use the username `satnogs` when you install the Debian system. |
| | + | *An SSH server running on the target system. |
| | + | *Install installation dependencies: `sudo apt-get install ansible git sshpass python-setuptools` |

| − | <code>satnogs-setup</code> is a script for configuring a system installed with '''SatNOGS Client Ansible'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Initial Setup==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Right after the first boot of the system, packages and the configuration tool itself '''must be updated'''. Follow the [[#Updating SatNOGS Client software|Updating]] instruction found below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To configure a '''SatNOGS Client Ansible''' system:
| |
| − | | |
| − | #SSH into the system and run <code>sudo satnogs-setup</code>; this will bring up the configuration menu
| |
| − | #Set '''Basic Configuration''' (see below)
| |
| − | #Select <code>Apply</code> and the Raspberry Pi will configure itself; this may take some time
| |
| − | #Select <code>Back</code> to exit

| − | | |
| − | #SSH into the system and (re-)run <code>sudo satnogs-setup</code>; this will bring up the configuration menu
| |
| − | #Select <code>Update</code> to update the configuration tool
| |
| − | #Select <code>Apply</code> and the Raspberry Pi will update itself; this may take some time
| |
| − | #Before exit, check at the top that you have the latest satnogs-client and gr-satnogs versions
| |
| − | #Select <code>Back</code> to exit
