Hello,
after learning that the Debian-based RaspberryPi OS does not get
security fixes always in time (see dirty-pipe), I am considering
installing pure Debian on my system. It seems not all proprietary
components are supported, but I don't need video acceleration anyway,
for example. My Pi acts as a home server.
The thing is, the Pi is headless, it was never connected to a monitor or
keyboard, all configuration was done via SSH on a pre-built Raspberry PI
OS image. I do not even have an USB keyboard and the Pi has obviously no
PS/2 connectors.
Do you have some ideas for me, how I could prepare a minimal Debian
image on my notebook which is able to boot on the Pi and has already an
user and SSH configured? Everything else I would setup remotely.
Thank you,
Christian
Good afternoon Christian
I'm not sure why you aren't getting security updates. When I run # apt
update on my Pi4, the first line of output is :
Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security

Should there be more that I am missing?

Thanks for the link to Gunnar's image. My next project, well maybe the
one after. Thanks
