Installing brewpi on MINIBIAN

The related projects:
  brewpi
  MINIBIAN

Why?

• Installs on 1GB SD card (you need 4GB to install raspbian).

Use the normal method of installing the minibian img to an SD card (ie # dd if=imgfile.img of=/dev/sdcardyouwanttouse bs=1M) (see http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup for more details).

After installing:

• Default login: root/raspberry
• You'll want to change your root password (# passwd), but wait until after you update your keyboard config/localization settings (in raspi-config), especially if you are using symbols in the password.
• I'd highly recommend disabling the ability to login as root remotely, by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config and changing "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no".

  # apt-get install raspi-config git-core sudo
  # raspi-config
    (change appropriate settings in here)
  # useradd -mU -G sudo pi
  # passwd pi
    (enter new password)
  # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  # su pi

Everything else should be the same as the instructions in the brewpi docs.  Start here: http://docs.brewpi.com/installing-your-pi/rpi-setup.html#configuring-your-system.  Enjoy!
