Assemble Raspberry Pi
Assemble PiDrive
Refer to my unboxing and assembly post.
Load Raspbian Jesse Lite onto SD card
-Linux
-Mac OS
-Windows
Enable SHH
Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi
Bundle PiDrive to Raspberry Pi
Plug in ethernet cable to Raspberry Pi
Plug in PiDrive connector
Plug in power cable from PiDrive to Raspberry Pi
Plug in USB from PiDrive to Raspberry Pi
Plug in power cable from wall plug to PiDrive connector
Plug in power to wall
Find Raspberry Pi IP address
Check your router or use IP scanning software
SSH into Raspberry Pi
Open a terminal

Code:

ssh pi@RASPBERRY_PI_IP_ADDRESS

At the prompt type "yes" and press enter
Password is "raspberry"
WARNING! CHANGE PASSWORD NOW!

Code:

passwd

OPTIONAL
Enable wifi

Code:

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Add the following to the bottom of the file

Code:

network={
      ssid="YOUR_WIFI_ROUTER_NAME"
      psk="YOUR_WIFI_ROUTER_PASSWORD"
}

Press ctrl+O
Press 'enter'
Press ctrl+X

Code:

sudo reboot

Remove ethernet cable if WiFi is chosen

Expand the filesystem
Find Raspberry Pi IP address if you switched to wifi
SSH into Raspberry Pi

Code:

sudo raspi-config

Select "advanced options"
Select "expand filesystem"
Select "<Ok>"
Select "<Finish>"
Select "<Yes>"
Raspberry Pi will reboot

PiDrive Setup
SSH into Raspberry Pi

List hard drives

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

Look for a device named /dev/sdX - this is the PiDrive (sda, sdb, sdc, )

Partition drive

Code:

sudo fdisk /dev/sdX

At the prompt type in "d" to delete partitions until there are no partitions
At the prompt type in "n" for new
At the prompt type in "p" for primary
At the prompt type in "1" for partition number
At the prompt press enter for defaults
At the prompt press enter for defaults
At the prompt type in "w" and press enter for write
This will use the full disk as storage

Format PiDrive

Code:

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1

At the prompt type in "y" and press enter
Create mount point for PiDrive

Code:

sudo mkdir /mnt/pidrive

Get PiDrive UUID

Code:

sudo blkid

Copy the quoted field from PARTUUID="COPYME" for drive /dev/sdX1

Code:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add "PARTUUID=COPYME /mnt/pidrive/ ext4 defaults 0 0" to bottom of file

Increase and Initialize swap file

Code:

sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile

change “CONF_SWAPSIZE=100” to “CONF_SWAPSIZE=1000”

Code:

sudo dphys-swapfile setup
sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

Reboot

Verify mounting of PiDrive
SSH into Raspberry Pi
List mounts

Code:

df -h

Verify "/dev/sdX1" is mounted on "/mnt/pidrive"

Update and upgrade system

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Press enter to download and install packages

Setup
Install required packages

Code:

sudo apt-get install git autoconf libevent-dev libtool libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev

Press enter

Download and compile Bitcoin UASF BIP148

Code:

mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
git clone git://github.com/UASF/bitcoin -b 0.14-BIP148
cd bitcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-upnp-default --disable-wallet --disable-bench --disable-zmq --without-gui --prefix=/usr/
make
make check

ONLY IF ALL THE TESTS PASS!

Code:

sudo make install
rm -R ~/bin

Create Bitcoin storage folder and user

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/pidrive/.bitcoinData/
sudo useradd -r bitcoind
sudo chown bitcoind:bitcoind /mnt/pidrive/.bitcoinData

Create Bitcoin system service

Code:

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/bitcoind.service

Add

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Bitcoin's distributed currency daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=bitcoind
Group=bitcoind

Type=forking
PIDFile=/mnt/pidrive/.bitcoinData/bitcoind.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bitcoind -daemon -pid=/mnt/pidrive/.bitcoinData/bitcoind.pid \
-conf=/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/mnt/pidrive/.bitcoinData -disablewallet

Restart=always
PrivateTmp=true
TimeoutStopSec=60s
TimeoutStartSec=2s
StartLimitInterval=120s
StartLimitBurst=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Run

Code:

sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/bitcoind.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/bitcoind.service

Create Bitcoin.conf

Code:

sudo mkdir /etc/bitcoin
sudo nano /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

Paste this example configuration file for more options
Add these to the bottom

Code:

maxmempool=50
rpcuser=makeupanyusernamehere
