Clallam Emergency Data Mesh

Initial Raspberry Software Setup

Over half of the web servers in the world use the "LAMP" environment. This consists of the Linux Operating System, Apache web server, MySQL database, and PHP programming language.

We will start with a raspbian O/S image for FreePBX. This not only gives us a server configuration with a VOIP server, but sets up the raspberry with Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

1. Download rasPBX.img file from raspberrypi.org (these instructions used Raspbx beta Oct-6-2019).
2. Download and install Win32DiskImager on a Windows PC.
3. Use Win32DiskImager to write the rapsbx-06-10-2019.img file to the MicroSD Card.
4. Download PuTTY (PuTTY is a terminal software program that you can download and use to connect into your raspberry from your deskto or laptop).
5. Boot Raspberry.
1. Place the microSD card in the raspberry.
2. Hook-up a keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor to the raspberry.
3. Connect power to the raspberry and power up<./li>
6. Login into the Raspberry.
   1. Login: root
   2. Password: raspberry
7. Enter "sudo configure-timezone" at the command line and press Enter. Set your timexone.
8. Raspberry needs to be on the internet to do updates - Connect via Wi-Fi or via ethernet cable.
1. Enter "sudo raspbx-upgrade" at the command line and press Enter./li>
   1. Press "y" when queried for "y/n".
9. Enter "reboot" and press enter to reboot the raspberry.
10. Log back into the raspberry with the root credentials.
11. The name of the raspberry server defaults to "raspbx" and can be changed as follows:
    1. Enter "sudo nano /etc/hostname" and press enter.
    2. Use arrow keys to position to the name, delete it, then type in the new desired name. Host names are usually fairly short.
    3. "Ctrl-x" to quit.
    4. "y" to save changes.
    5. Press enter to accecpt the same name which replaces the existing file.
12. You also need to change the Hosts file that tells you the IP address of certain hosts.
    1. Enter "sudo nano /etc/hosts" and press enter.
    2. Use arrow keys to position the cursor at the "raspbx" and replace raspbx with your selected host name.
    3. "Ctrl-x" to quit.
    4. "y" to save changes.
    5. Press enter to accecpt the same name which replaces the existing file.
13. Enter "reboot" and press enter to reboot the raspberry.
14. Log back into the raspberry with the root credentials.
15. Enter "ifconfig" and press Enter.
    1. The IP Address will be in the eth0 section following "inet" if you use an ethernet cable.
    2. The IP Address will be in the wlan0 section following "inet" if you use Wi-Fi connection.
16. After updates what should we see to know it works?
1. http into FreePBX by using a brower on your PC that is connected to the same network as the raspberry. Using the IP Address from above, go to http://IP Address/ You should see the FreePBX initial screen. Do not configure FreePBX at this time.
2. Putty into the raspberry's IP Address from a desktop or laptop. You should be able to get a terminal session and log on to the raspberry.
17. What we have:
1. A raspberry "server" installation. No desktop GUI or office/game software as this is a server.
2. A FreePBX VOIP Server installation.
3. An Appache2 Web Server.
4. A "mySQL" database server.
5. Installation of PHP programming language.
6. This is a full blown "LAMP" server.

The "LAMP" services will be used by much of the rest of our software installations.
