I also recommend installing net-tools so that you can use commands like ifconfig to get your IP address: sudo apt install net-toolsĪt this point, it is a pretty good idea to reboot your computer. As with any new install, I recommend doing a quick update check and install any updates (this code will update your package list and install any available upgrades): sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade -y Set your user name, computer name, short name, and password, and let it do it’s thing.Īfter the OS installation was complete, a reboot brings you into the command prompt.

I just did a basic install without any extra software, and with OpenSSH installed. It is worth noting that I needed to have a network connection for the install, or my networking didn’t seem to work right after, so you may need to make sure you have an active network connection. Once booted to the live USB, I did a pretty vanilla install of Ubuntu server. This step will vary depending on the hardware that you install on. I set the BIOS on my embedded PC to defaults, and the OS type to LINUX. once you are set up with the OS, you can switch to your favorite SSH client. This install and initial setup is down with a local keyboard and display. Of course you can use your favorite image writing tool as well. I use Balena Etcher to write out my live USB stick, it is available for both Mac and Windows. You can download that right from the Ubuntu Site. Install the OSįirst off, I started with a fresh download of Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. Additionally, anywhere you see me use either my username “alex” or “” you should replace that with your user name. This guide assumes that you have some familiarity with working in command line LINUX. I will list the sources that I followed at the end of the post.

Not that the other unit was under-powered (I mean you can run this on a Pi), but I had the hardware, so why not?! Here is how it all went together, for posterity, and for anyone else looking to do this. I decided to kick it up a notch with a more powerful embedded PC that I had laying around, with more disk space, RAM and processing power. It worked, mostly, but wasn’t running OctoPrint as a service, and required a manual start of the webcam software on reboot, so just kinda meh. This original build was kinda slapped together and not quite as streamlined as I had intended it to be. I had been running OctoPrint on a small embedded PC that I had, but it was not running as well as I would have liked. I have moved it here as it relates to what we do.
