Raspbian installation

Currently, Pi-hole does not support Archlinux ARM officially. Pi-hole only supports Raspbian for RPi.

Headless Raspbian setup.

  1. Create partitions/filesystems on the SD card.
  2. Manually extracting data from Raspbian image. This way makes that the partition size is different from the filesystem size. So download and extract boot.tar.xz and root.tar.xz manually.
  3. Edit /boot/cmdline.txt and /etc/fstab.
  4. Prevent rootfs partition to expand.
  5. Create a file named ssh on the boot partition. When the Pi boots, it looks for the ssh file. If it is found, SSH is enabled and the file is deleted.
