DietPi-SDRTrunk

Automated Installer for setting up sdrtrunk on a DietPi (Raspberry Pi) OS

sdrtrunk running in LXDE on DietPi connected through VNC

About:

For SBCs such as a Raspberry Pi, sdrtrunk is a pretty resource demanding java application, requiring at least 4GB of RAM and 4-core CPU for minimum system requirements.

From my tests running sdrtrunk on DietPi, it looks like minimum system requirements can be reduced to 2GB of RAM and 2-core CPU.

- Install

Follow the installation instructions provided by DietPi here to download and image your Raspberry Pi.

IMPORTANT!

Before you boot into DietPi for the first time, overwrite the dietpi.txt file the the "Boot" partition (/boot/dietpi.txt), with the file located here.

This will automate the configuration and install of the following applications while the system is provisioning.

• OpenSSH server via
  • AUTO_SETUP_SSH_SERVER_INDEX=-2
• LXDE desktop via
  • AUTO_SETUP_DESKTOP_INDEX=0
  • AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=23
• Java JDK via
  • AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=8
• DietPi Web Dashboard via
  • AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=200
• Git via
  • AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=17
• RealVNC via
  • AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=120

When the initial boot provisioning has finished, you should be able to VNC to the host at the IP address visible in the terminal console.
