Flashing the PiKVM image

Image Added

1. Download the latest DIY PiKVM image for the HDMI-CSI bridge for the RaspberryPi Zero 2W and sha hash.

2. Validate the download image:

   Code Block
   PiKVM % shasum v2-hdmi-zero2w-latest.img.xz cdb1bb899a72351a2da924ceb0675130d01e46ed v2-hdmi-zero2w-latest.img.xz PiKVM % cat v2-hdmi-zero2w-latest.img.xz.sha1 cdb1bb899a72351a2da924ceb0675130d01e46ed%

3. Download the latest version of the DappNode ISO for Debian, attended, and note the sha1 hash.
   

4. Download and install the Raspberry Pi imager.

   1. Run RPi Imager:

      

   2. Press NO FILTERING then CHOOSE OS and select Use custom image at bottom of the list:

      

   3. After clicking on this item, select the image file for PiKVM that you downloaded earlier then click CHOOSE STORAGE:

      

   4. Insert the memory card into the card reader. Choose the card reader from this list. Be careful and choose the right device:

      

   5. After choosing the memory card, press the WRITE button. Confirm the operation when you are asked about it:
      

      

5. Mount the PiKVM memory card, and edit the filepikvm.txt. If you haven't enabled PiKVM yet, this file will contain a single line FIRST_BOOT=1.

3. Create private and public keys

   Code Block
   wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

4. Create the config file
   Now you can configure the server, just add a new file called /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf. Insert the following configuration lines and replace the <server-private-key> placeholder with the previously generated private key.

5. Code Block

   vi /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf [Interface] Address PrivateKey=<server-private-key> Address=10.99.0.1/32 #SaveConfig SaveConfig= true PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE; PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE; ListenPort = 51821 PrivateKey = <server-private-key> [Peer] PublicKey = <client-public-key> AllowedIPs = 10.99.0.2/32

6. Configure the wireguard client
   
   Now, we need to configure the client. Create a new file called /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf. Insert the following configuration lines and replace the <client-private-key> placeholder with the previously generated private key.

   Next, replace the <server-public-key> with the generated servers public key. And also replace <server-public-ip-address> with the IP address where the server listens for incoming connections.

   Code Block
   [Interface] PrivateKey = <client-private-key> ListenPort = 51821 Address = 10.99.0.2/2432 [Peer] PublicKey = <server-public-key> AllowedIPs = 10.99.0.0/24 Endpoint = <server-public-ip-address>:51821 PersistentKeepalive = 30

7. Open ports (UDP) for wireguard on your router.

8. Start and test
   enable the wg0 interface with the following command

9. Code Block
   wg-quick up wg0 [#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard [#] wg setconf wg0 /dev/fd/63 [#] ip -4 address add 10.99.0.1/24 dev wg0 [#] ip link set mtu 1420 up dev wg0 [#] iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE;

   You can check the status of the connection with this command.

   Code Block

   [root@pikvm ~]# wg interface: wg0 public key: K9aP9W9TW/bfdaGQA2fSFBZh6ZZy198Q= private key: (hidden) listening port: 51821 [root@pikvm ~]# ifcongif -a -bash: ifcongif: command not found [root@pikvm ~]# ifconfig -a lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 99 bytes 8158 (7.9 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 99 bytes 8158 (7.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wg0: flags=209<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 1420 inet 10.99.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 destination 10.99.0.1 unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 txqueuelen 1000 (UNSPEC) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::e65f:1ff:fe87:f396 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether e4:5f:01:87:f3:96 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 1505204 bytes 36789964 (35.0 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 1224409 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 110425 bytes 8452065 (8.0 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

   Next, you need to add the client to the server configuration file. Otherwise, the tunnel will not be established. Replace the <client-public-key> with the clients generated public key and the <client-ip-address> with the client's IP address on the wg0 interface.

   Code Block
   wg set wg0 peer <client-public-key> allowed-ips <client-ip-address>/32

   Now you can enable the wg0 interface on the server.

   Code Block
   wg-quick up wg0

   Code Block
   wg

Configuring PiSugar

Add a pisugar user to the PiKVM (Raspberry Pi):

1. Connect via ssh to the PiKVM device.

2. Add a pisugar user:

[root@pikvm ~]# rw

+ mount -o remount,rw /boot
+ set +x
=== PiKVM is in Read-Write mode ===

useradd --system -s /usr/bin/bash pisugar
usermod -d /opt/pisugar -m pisugar
passwd pisugar

3. Add pisugar to /etc/sudoers

4. Download latest pisugar-archlinux_<version>_all.tar.gz from https://github.com/PiSugar/pisugar-power-manager-rs/releases

su - pisugar
tar -xvf pisugar-archlinux_<version>_all.tar.gz

Edit the PKBUILD to support the RPi Zero 2W:

NUC USB2.0 header

The USB2.0 header is essential for providing keyboard and mouse HID access from the PiKVM instance on the Raspberry Pi to the server. Also, this header provides power to the SugarPi3, which in turn, powers the PiKVM Raspberry Pi.

Notice that VCC (5v) is NOT provided to the MicroUSB connection on the Raspberry Pi. This is the equivalent of blocking the VCC pin, as described here.

  Don't use random relay modules or random optocouplers! Some of these may not be sensitive enough for the Raspberry Pi, some others may be low-level controlled. Either use relays that are activated by a high logic level, or follow the design provided and buy an OMRON. See details here.

By installing and configuring a Let’s Encrypt Certificate, we can enable validated SSL connections to the PiKVM web interface. To do this, we need a valid domain name. For this, we will register the following names:

netrabrick.(bodega).openvino.org
pikvm.(bodega).openvino.org

Replacing (bodega) with the name of the winery…in this example Costaflores.

Currently, the registration of the DNS records for these domain entries is done manually, but eventually, the decentralized OpenVino Netrabricks will assume the DNS functions for the openvino.org domain and subdomains (and openvino.exchange).
