Raspberry - Raspbian - First steps
Installing a new Raspberry Pi is always the same few steps, and still I have to look them up almost every time. Here is the summary.
Unpack the Raspberry Pi, hook it up to a keyboard, monitor and network. Get a MicroSD card with at least 8 GB size, and a card reader which you can use to write the image to the card.
Download the Raspbian image (as example from the raspberry.org website).
Verify the image checksum:
sha256sum /tmp/2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.zip

Write the image to the MicroSD card:
unzip -p /tmp/2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.zip | dd of=/dev/sdc conv=fsync bs=4M status=progress
Plug the SD-card into the Raspberry and power it on. Initial login credentials are pi / raspberry. Change the password!
Find out the IP-address of the newly booted system:
/sbin/ifconfig
Enable ssh access:
systemctl enable ssh.service && systemctl start ssh.service
Run OS upgrades:
apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get clean
Consider changing a few things in order to not wear out the SD-card too much.
Install Python for Ansible:
apt-get install -y python
