Some time ago I set up a Raspberry and expanded the filesystem to 16GB. Unfortunately I wanted to share the Image afterwards. I tried to reduce the size the easy way and succeeded. Procecure was:

– Created the *.img from the SD-Card of Raspberry via Win32Imager (via Read function)
– Copied the big *.img to a USB Stick (32 GB)
– Created Linux Live CD (Linux Mint) and wrote it to a USB-Stick to boot from it afterwards
– of course also plugged in the USB Stick with the img
– mounted the USB Drive and opened a Console and changed the dir (cd) where the image is

After booting into Linux Mint
– I installed quemu utils via

sudo apt-get install qemu-utils

– checked the img via

fdisk -l image.img

I saw that there are 2 partitions holding only 2,1 Gigs so I did

qemu-img resize vdisk.img 3GB

afterwards I wrote the img to an SD-Card and booted it successfully in a RPI3

Alternative would be: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-BackUp-and-Shrink-Your-Raspberry-Pi-Image/

Script copies UltraVNC to target client (C:\vnc\) and executes UltraVNC with configurable settings. Launches VNC Viewer afterwards and removes VNC (optional).

Requirements and Usage:
- Copy psexec.exe to C:\Windows
- Run the Powershell with Admin-Rights / elevated Console
- User has to be admin on the target and local machine
- Default password = 123

– Save the Script and create a folder on the same level called „UltraVNC“
– Copy UltraVNC Programm Files to the UltraVNC folder
– Run vnc_deploy.ps1 (elevated, user has to be admin on the targeted client)

 

The ACL part is variable if you use it in an Domain environment. Start uvnc_settings.exe and configure Domain Access with groups or edit the *ultravnc.ini and change to:

[ultravnc]
passwd=000000000000000000
passwd2=000000000000000000
[admin]
UseRegistry=0
MSLogonRequired=1
NewMSLogon=1

And change acl.txt

Download Script, VNC, PSexec

If you dont want to login with password everytime or you want to use autossh then you should think about Key Login or Key based authentication in SSH.

Generate SSH-Key:

ssh-keygen

by default they are saved here

/home/pi/.ssh/

 

pi@pi:~/.ssh $ ls -lart
insgesamt 16
drwxr-xr-x 20 pi pi 4096 Jän 3 18:47 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 390 Jän 3 18:47 id_rsa.pub
-rw------- 1 pi pi 1679 Jän 3 18:47 id_rsa
drwx------ 2 pi pi 4096 Jän 3 18:47 .

show content of generated file:

RPQEYZHgKulwZpl71lqtOv+/oSyW+g+QomvbRXu9PqbXtbRThNQw4YfpiN pi@pi

Copy to remote machine (where you want to login without password)

vi /user/.ssh/authorized_keys

copy the content inside of this file.

SSH Connection to the host should now be possible without using password.

Makes also AutoSSH possible:

autossh -R 20000:localhost:22 root@domain.com

to connect from the other side:

ssh -p 20000 pi@localhost

Recieved 2 additional Raspis and couldnt’stop setting them up unfortunately the display ordered was broken so i didnt build the mobile RetroPi. So I tried it with my cheap china beamer:

   

Longrunner Cam with Raspberry and self build Lego Case.

 

Unfortunately broken display (Raspi HD TFT Hat 800×480).

But a 10″ touch screen and case arrived

establish remote ssh-connection via ssh reverse tunnel (provides ssh-connection to rasp in a network via a server/device with a public ip)

on the raspberry:

ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 loginOfServerIP@ServerIP
on server side to connect back to raspberry:

ssh -p 2222 loginOfComputerWithoutPublicIP@localhost

verify usage of autossh  if regularely needed

mysql::db do failed: MySQL server has gone away at ./inclibdb.pm line 1848

Solved by

set a higher value for wait_timeout and connect_timeout in my.cnf

from the MySQL Documentation

  • wait_timeout : The number of seconds the server waits for activity on a noninteractive connection before closing it.
  • connect_timeout : The number of seconds that the mysqld server waits for a connect packet before responding with Bad handshake

EXAMPLES

  • If wait_timeout is 1800 (30 Minutes), the DB Connection will close in 30 minutes if the connection is idle (indicated by Sleep in the command column of the processlist).
  • If connect_timeout is 10, then mysqld will reject you if you cannot login (authenticate) in 10 seconds.
