Or maybe limited internet. Maybe at a meetup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving pxe clients with dhcp, tftp and ftp. Maybe the menu includes an ESXi installer, a couple of Linux installers, a Live ISO for rescues, DBAN for non-SSD emergencies. The sky&#8217;s the limit, right? Updated for the twenty-first century by including support for UEFI clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, updating to the latest everything. Later, I migrate the whole thing to a larger SD card, and replace the Raspberry Pi 3B that came with it, with a much more powerful 4B with 4GB of RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe even have a process watching the logs, and have certain events trigger LED matrix animations, buzzer and vibration activity, countdown timers on the clock, or display status on the small display. This&#8217;ll be a fun longer-term project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-scaled-350x467.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dc540.org\/xxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/crowpi2-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I&#8217;m applying updates to my cyberdeck (CrowPi) in preparation for using it as a portable network stack build and rescue platform (PXE boot + ISO images and installers).
