New Nextbox on existing hardaware

bs02 · January 31, 2022, 6:24pm

I have one nextbox, I would like to setup a new nextbox for my office, but I already have a rpi4 and a 1TB hd, is it possible to just flash the image to a micro SD?

Hi,
you would also need to formate the harddrive in a certain way see this skript:

github.com

Nitrokey/nextbox/blob/master/assembly/simple_prepare_harddrive.sh

#!/bin/bash

for cmd in bash sudo parted mkfs.ext4 mkdir mount chown umount chmod; do
	if !(which $cmd > /dev/null); then
		echo "FAIL: missing command: '$cmd'"
		exit;
	fi
done

if [[ "$1" = "" || "$2" != "" ]]; then
	echo "usage: $0 <disk-device>"
	exit 1
fi

dev=$1


if [[ ! -a "$dev" ]]; then
	echo "device: $dev does not exist, exiting..."
	exit 1
