EuroLinux Raspberry Pi Images repository

About Raspberry Pi for EuroLinux

Ready-to-use images are here -> https://fbi.cdn.euro-linux.com/images/

Raspberry Pi images have rpi-TYPE in the name. Currently, we deliver two basic types:

1. minimal
2. gnome

Both have the following basic authentication enabled:

user: root password: raspberry

NOTE: Enterprise Linuxes 9 forward have SSH root login with password disabled by default.

More documentation is available here EuroLinux for Raspberry PI jumpstart documentation

Raspberry Pi 3

The images are made for the Raspberry Pi 4 model B, they can work with the Raspberry Pi 3 and 3+, but Raspberry 3 hardware is below minimum requirements for the Enterprise Linux 9. We tested the console image and it worked, but the Gnome image was not stable (only 1GiB of RAM is not enough) on the Raspberry Pi 3+.

How to build

To build EuroLinux 9 RPI image use the build script:

Minimal image (console):

build-image.sh minimal

Image with the Gnome:

build-image.sh gnome

About compression

We tested the following compressions

Command	Size	Time
xz -T 0 $minimal_image	428M	1min 53 sec
xz -T 0 -e $miniml_image	428M	4 min 13 sec
xz -T 0 $gnome_image	849M	3 min 29 sec
xz -T 0 -e $gnome_image	849M	5 min 44 sec

Thanks

These images were based on the contributions and work made by the following people:

• Pablo Greco - his work on packing RPI kernel for Enterprise Linuxes
• Mark Verlinde - his work with appliance-tools that were great references
• Fabian Arrotin - his script resizing the partition
• AlmaLinux - AlmaLinux kickstarts that were a template for ours
