Copy the orange pi image over to an sd card
Expand the sd card
Update netplan. Open up the sd card and modify the network config:
sudo mv orangepi-default.yaml orangepi-default.yaml.bak
cat << EOL | sudo tee 99-home.yaml

With these changes you should be able to connect in a headless way
SSH
ssh orangepi@192.168.0.141
#default password is orangepi
harden ssh:
install tmux
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y tmux
then open a new tmux window using the tmux command and upgrade your packages
(optional) install tailscale
you can use these instructions
(optional, can do later) Upgrade
sudo apt upgrade -y
use ctrl+b then d to exit and let the install run. You will need to check in periodically to intervene
(Optional) Set up orange pi config
sudo orangepi-config
sudo adduser $USER i2c
echo "overlays=i2c3" | sudo tee -a /boot/orangepiEnv.txt && sudo reboot now
once restarted run
sudo i2cdetect -y 3
you will need some prerequisites:
