After installing the LXQt Debian image from eLinux.org, then Pi-Hole, then Docker in order to run Home Assistant, I quickly ran out of space on the onboard 4GB eMMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeing eMMC Space<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Backed up the eMMC using this script <link<\/a>>. Saved the SD card image in OSX using Disk Utility. Then compressed it into a zip file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Installed the Debian Stretch Console Snapshot image from eLinux.org <link<\/a>>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Made a static IP by reserving a static DHCP assignment in my router configuration. I tried to assign a static IP for eth0 on the BBB <link<\/a>> but it didn’t take, not sure why. Maybe I should do this? <link<\/a>><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Checking the drive free space using “df” <link<\/a>>, I now have 2.9GB of space free, an enormous improvement from before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Debian kept complaining about locales, so i updated them <link<\/a>>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Fought with \/etc\/init.d to get the LED disable script to run on startup; the symlink worked when named “S99rc_local.sh” using a script named “rc_local.sh”. Seems the naming convention must start greater than “S01” and the name after this must match the script name exactly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Installing Pi Hole<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Had to install curl <sudo apt-get install curl>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Ran the online installer <link<\/a>>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Updated Gravity, the Pi-Hole blocklist (it installs empty).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Did all the things in my Pi-Hole on BBB post <link<\/a>>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Installing Docker ** Did not finish, installed Home Assistant on a spare RPi 3B+ and called it a day. **<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Installed Docker CE (Community Edition) <link<\/a>> NOTE: for BBB you must use the repo under the “armhf” tab. Configured Docker to run on boot <link<\/a>>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Cleared\/formatted my 8GB SD card with FAT32 <link<\/a>>. Added boot-time auto mount <link<\/a>> <link2<\/a>>. Changed the default path for Docker images to be on the SD card at \/docker_configs by way of a new JSON daemon config file <link<\/a>> <link2<\/a>>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Fun fact, aufs requires an ext4 filesystem so I reformatted as ext4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. TBD?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Disabling the USB mass-storage gadget<\/p>\n\n\n\n
