Setting up a Raspberry Pi
- Plug a 16GB or larger MicroSD Card into your computer.
- Download and open the Raspberry Pi Imager software.
- If the Pi is being used as a Clocking In or Dispatch device, choose "Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit)".
- If the Pi is being used as a Print Server, choose "Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit)" under 'Raspberry Pi OS (Other)'.
- Open the Advanced Options by clicking the cog in the bottom right hand corner.
- Tick 'Set hostname:' and input the hostname into the box.
- If connecting over SSH straight away:
- Tick 'Enable SSH'.
- Click 'Use password authentication'.
- Tick 'Set username and password'.
- Leave Username as 'pi'.
- Set a password and keep a note of it.
- If the Pi will be connected to WiFi and you have the details:
- Tick 'Configure wifi'.
- Enter the 'SSID'.
- Enter the 'Password'.
- Leave Wifi country as 'GB'.
- Tick 'Set locale Settings'.
- Click 'SAVE'.
- Click 'CHOOSE STORAGE' and ensure you choose the MicroSD Card to install to.
- Click 'WRITE'.
- Once it's installed, plug MicroSD Card into Pi.
- Connect Pi to power & connect an Ethernet cable.
- user pi, password as set above.
- Note the IP address (run "ifconfig" if it doesn't show).
- Run the following commands:
- sudo apt-get purge wolfram-engine scratch nuscratch sonic-pi idle3 smartsim java-common libreoffice* -y
- sudo apt clean
- sudo apt-get autoremove -y
- sudo apt-get update -y
- sudo apt-get upgrade -y
- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
- sudo apt-get install xdotool unclutter sed -y
- sudo raspi-config - Only change the following options:
- 1 System Options
- S5 Boot / Auto Login
- If the Pi is being used as a Print Server - Choose "B1 Console"
- If the Pi is being used as a Clocking In or Dispatch device - Choose "B4 Desktop Autologin"
- S6 Network at Book - Set to "Yes"
- (If the Pi is being used as a Print Server, ignore this) S7 Splash Screen - Set to "No"
- 3 Interface Options
- I2 - Set to "Yes"
- I1, I3, I4, I5, I7, I8 - Set all to "No"
- I6 - Set to "No" then "No" again
- 6 Advanced Options
- A1 Expand Filesystem - Run this
It will then ask if you want to reboot - Choose yes.
Setting up a new internal user
- sudo adduser skynet - note the new password.
- It will ask for a Full Name - set this as "Genisys Support" - for the other options just press Enter
- sudo usermod -a -G adm,dialout,cdrom,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,input,netdev,gpio,i2c,spi skynet
- "sudo su - skynet" - double check this works fine.
- Logout of SSH and re-login as skynet.
- sudo pkill -u pi
Securing SSH and setting up the UFW firewall
For further reference, see CUPS UFW Firewall page
- sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Add "AllowUsers skynet"
- Ctrl X, Y, Enter
- sudo systemctl restart ssh
- sudo apt install ufw -y
- sudo ufw allow from 51.68.205.35 proto tcp to any port 22,53,631,5353 (Xenon)
- sudo ufw allow from 145.239.254.22 proto tcp to any port 22,53,631,5353 (Concorde)
- sudo ufw allow from 81.137.221.179 proto tcp to any port 22,53,631,5353 (Office)
- sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/16 proto tcp to any port 22,53,631,5353 (Local)
- sudo ufw allow from Customer's IP Address proto tcp to any port 22,53,631,5353
- sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp (This will block attackers who have connected more than 5 times in 30 seconds)
- sudo ufw enable
Setting up fail2ban for SSH
- sudo apt install fail2ban -y
- sudo cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
- sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
- find:
# "ignoreip" can be a list of IP addresses, CIDR masks or DNS hosts. Fail2ban # will not ban a host which matches an address in this list. Several addresses # can be defined using space (and/or comma) separator. #ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8::1
- Remove the #
- Remove 127.0.0.1/8 - leave the "::1" at the end
- Add 51.68.205.35 145.239.254.22 81.137.221.179 meadowview.zapto.org 192.168.0.0/16 - leave the "::1" at the end
- Then find:
# "bantime" is the number of seconds that a host is banned. bantime = 10m
- Change 10m to 1y
- Then find:
# A host is banned if it has generated "maxretry" during the last "findtime" # seconds. findtime = 10m
- Change 10m to 1y
- Then find:
# "maxretry" is the number of failures before a host get banned. maxretry = 5
- Change 5 to 3
- Then find:
# # JAILS # # # SSH servers # [sshd] # To use more aggressive sshd modes set filter parameter "mode" in jail.local: # normal (default), ddos, extra or aggressive (combines all). # See "tests/files/logs/sshd" or "filter.d/sshd.conf" for usage example and details. #mode = normal port = ssh logpath = %(sshd_log)s backend = %(sshd_backend)s
Add the following below it:
[ssh] enabled = true port = ssh filter = sshd logpath = /var/log/auth.log maxretry = 3 bantime = 1y
- Ctrl X, Y, Enter
Fail2Ban must be restarted to load the new settings:
- sudo service fail2ban restart
Setup CUPS
- sudo apt install cups -y
- sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin pi
- sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin skynet
- sudo cupsctl --remote-any
- https://{internal_ip}:631 -> "Edit Configuration" and add this line to the bottom:
MaxJobs 0
- Find "<Location />" and "<Location /admin>" and replace the content inside both areas with (don't remove "</Location />" and "</Location /admin>"):
Order allow,deny Allow from localhost Allow from 51.68.205.35 Allow from 81.137.221.179 Allow from 145.239.254.22 Allow from 192.168.* Allow from <Customers' IP Address>
- Further below find "<Location /admin/log>" and add the following below "Require user @SYSTEM" (don't remove "</Location /admin/log>"):
Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL Allow from localhost Allow from 51.68.205.35 Allow from 81.137.221.179 Allow from 145.239.254.22 Allow from 192.168.* Allow from <Customers' IP Address>
- Click "Save Changes".

Debugging
Found by Ncroker:
This page has some cool debugging stuff: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems
It's for Ubuntu, but still seems to work on Xenon/Pi.
