Swarm Builder

Builds AstroSwarm on a Vagrant virtual machine running Debian, or on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

How it works

bootstrap-pi <pi ip address> adds your public ssh key to the authorized_keys file on a Raspberry Pi so that the builder can ssh into the box.

deploy-pi <pi ip address> builds AstroSwarm on the Raspberry Pi.

deploy-vagrant launches a Debian VM (if it's not already running), and builds AstroSwarm on the VM.

Requirements

• Vagrant
• Virtualbox
• Public/private RSA keypair stored in ~/.ssh

Current tooling assumes a Mac OS X development system.

Quick Start

Building on a Debian VM

1. Run ./deploy-pi
2. Access AstroSwarm at http://localhost:8000

Building on a Raspberry Pi

1. Build an AstroSwarm-compatible Raspberry Pi Micro SD card using swarm_pi_flasher.
2. Place Micro SD card into Raspberry Pi, turn it on, and find its IP address on your network. For my manufacturer, arp -a | grep b8:27 works well for this.
3. Run ./deploy-pi <pi ip address> to build AstroSwarm on the Raspberry Pi.
4. Access AstroSwarm at http://<pi ip address>:8000
