## Rocky Linux 9 generic ARM64/Aarch64 images
|
|
|
|
### Extracting the image
|
|
|
|
You probably downloaded the `Rocky-9-aarch64-minimal-YYYY.MM.DD-HHMMSS.raw.zst` file and are wondering how to extract. Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zst --decompress Rocky-9-aarch64-minimal-YYYY.MM.DD-HHMMSS.raw.zst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Flashing the image
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dd if=Rocky-9-aarch64-minimal-YYYY.MM.DD-HHMMSS.raw of=<device> bs=4M conv=sync status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SSH
|
|
|
|
SSH is enabled on port `22`. Logging-in as **`root` is disabled**, but you can login as user `rocky`.
|
|
|
|
### User credentials
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
username: rocky
|
|
password: rockylinux (you will be forced to change this)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
username: root
|
|
password: <disabled>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that you **do not set a password for the `root` user** as this is _safer_ (nothing is 100% safe). But if you **really want to** (_**do this at your own discretion**_), you can log into `root`'s login shell with `sudo -i` and then set a password for the `root` user.
|
|
|
|
### Expanding the rootfs
|
|
|
|
`sudo /usr/local/bin/expand-rootfs.sh`
|
|
|
|
## PSA for non-Rocky folks
|
|
|
|
There are two repositories that are maintained by Rocky Linux. One repository provides packages that are specific to SIG/AltArch for SBC enablement. Another repository is basically ELRepo + some Rocky stuff. Depending on your needs, this may or may not be a good thing. Please change this as you see fit.
|
|
|
|
## Notes for executing the script
|
|
|
|
Firstly, the prerequisite for running all the commands in the `create-image.sh` script can be installed with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# enable EPEL first, because `appliance-tools` is from EPEL
|
|
dnf install appliance-tools perl-Digest-SHA zstd
|
|
```
