Preparing a ronny for the ansible-config

1. Download the latest Armbian (Debian 13 minimal) image from https://armbian.com/boards/rpi4b

2. Uncompress it: unxz Armbian_x.y.z_Rpi4b_trixie_current_x.y.z_minimal.img.xz

3. Flash it to the µSD card with e.g.: dd if=Armbian_x.y.z_Rpi4b_trixie_current_x.y.z_minimal.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M oflag=sync status=progress , substitute /dev/sdX for the µSD card as reported by lsblk -f and triple check this.

4. Attach the ronny to the Telnet switch.

5. Power up the ronny.

6. Ssh to root@172.12.50.10X, where X is the ronny’s number:

   • Set the root password.
   • Create the zeus user, with the same password as root.
   • Now close your terminal
   • That’s it!
