![]() ![]() The RPi by default will not have SSH running, and we require SSH to be able to access the RPi terminal without using a monitor/keyboard/mouse plugged in. The main reason to even explain such simple first steps is to not forget this vital part. Rufus in Action Step 2: Make sure SSH will run on startup I personally love Rufus due to its simplicity, portability and speed alternatives can be UNetbootin and Universal USB Installer. Then use your usual boot drive creator as usual to load the image on to the SD card and make it bootable. Teamviewer already installed in your desktop/laptop.ĭownload the latest image from the Raspberry Pi website, making sure to select the ‘Rasbian with desktop’.Telnet/ssh application, such as PuTTY or KiTTY.USB boot drive creator, I use Rufus in windows.A normal desktop/laptop, running your usual OS.Power cable and Ethernet cable for the RPi.SD card (16gb more than enough space, but higher access speeds are always appeciated in a boot SD card).Raspberry Pi (I used a RPi 3 Model B for this).I hope they are a little more careful now ! Using VNC is just a little more complicated but you can find out how to set it up here. Nonetheless, Teamviewer’s ease of setup for remote access from the internet and my general use with it day to day, makes it win here since I’m not too fussed about security at the moment. Alternatives would have been any of the VNC flavours, which are particularly attractive in the face of the hacking, and subsequent mishandling of the situation, which TeamViewer suffered last year. ![]() ![]() First thing is first, and after looking at the possible solutions, I chose to go with TeamViewer for the remote desktop. Whilst linux allows us unlimited control using just a simple SSH, its sometimes nice to have a remote desktop just to manage files and directories, and for the rare occasions we might get lost in the terminal. I thought it would be a great little thing to use as a server for domotics, local websites and what not, so why not put it in a dark little corner and run it headless? And while we are at it, why not have a remote desktop? I might be projecting, but I believe a large portion of Raspberry Pi’s out there will be currently sitting in their owner’s drawers, not doing much at all since the hype around the device has settled down.
