Rocky 9 Raspberry Pi Images
|
|
|
|
They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
|
|
|
|
Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2. They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64).
|
|
|
|
(edit: Raspberry Pi 2 version 1.2 boards are in fact 64-bit. There aren't too many of these, but they might work. Tell us if you have one!)

|
QUICK START:
|
|
####################################################
|
|
Download the latest image, and write it to your raw microSD memory card (or other boot device).
|
|
|
|
GUI WAY (Linux/Win/Mac)
|
|
Grab a program like Balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ) GUI-based disk writer.
|
|
Insert your SD card and follow the instructions. It will extract and write your disk image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMMAND LINE WAY (assumes Linux system on a root (sudo su) shell):
|
|
xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX
|
|
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)
|
|
|
|
BE CAREFUL, be sure which device you are writing to before you do it! Don't accidentally blow away your laptop/desktop hard drive!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once your storage device is written to, you should be able to plug it in to a Raspberry Pi and boot!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default username: rocky
|
|
Default password: rockylinux
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run "sudo rootfs-expand" to grow the partition and use all of your memory card or hard drive.
