Then we have to tell the Pi to mount to the new location automatically: sudo nano /etc/fstabĪdd this line to the fstab file: /dev/sda1 /media/1TB ntfs-3g uid=pi,gid=pi 0 1 By default if mounts automatically under /media/pi/1TB (the name of the partition).Ĭreate a new folder for mounting our drive and take ownership with the default user account: sudo mkdir /media/1TB sudo chown pi:pi /media/1TB We need to make sure the drive mounts permanently to a consistent location. NTFS is used because I want the disk to be plug-and-play everywhere. My NTFS partition is called “1TB” after the size of the drive, so I’ll keep referring to it like this. Restart the device when prompted by the completed update process.
If you are going to use a GUI via VNC instead of a physical monitor run sudo nano /boot/config.txt and uncomment framebuffer_width and framebuffer_height, optionally changing the resolution values. While the pi is updating you can enable VNC/SSH for remote access from Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration and change the hostname as required. At the last step accept the automatic update. This would be the time to connect the WiFi if you don’t have a wired connection with DHCP. Power the device and go through the wizard to create a password, select your language, time zone, etc. Basic knowledge of Unix-like systems and tools such as “nano”Ĭonnect the network, screen, mouse, and keyboard.USB hard drive or SSD for the torrent data - it doesn’t matter but we will use a disk partitioned in Windows (NTFS).Fast memory card for the OS - at least 8GB, check benchmarks and don’t bother with marketing BS like A2.Raspberry Pi - tested with Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.1 (2004).
The security - or lack thereof - is not suitable for applications outside of a trusted home network. The focus of this setup is to be easy and maintainable.
We set up a simple seedbox using a Raspberry Pi and a containerised qBittorrent install.
