Running Cuberite at startup on a Raspberry Pi

[opticyclic]

If you use DietPi instead of the Raspbian image you will start out with an extremely minimal system.

Then go through the graphical menus and select Cuberite.
Click OK and you are done!
Cuberite is installed as a service and starts on boot!


I have my Pi Zero running headless on wifi so I had a couple of extra steps.
After flashing the initial image (and before the steps above) I opened the dietpi.txt and set wifi enabled and put in the wifi details and a static ip

Code:

Wifi_Enabled=1

#Enter your Wifi details below, if applicable (Case Sensitive).
Wifi_SSID=MyWifiName
Wifi_KEY=MyPassword

#Enter your Static Network details below, if applicable.
Use_Static=1
Static_IP=192.168.1.110
Static_Mask=255.255.255.0
Static_Gateway=192.168.1.2

That meant on first boot it auto-configured itself to connect to wifi and I was able to connect over ssh and do the install steps above.

Code:

ssh root@192.168.1.110 (password dietpi)
