I wanted to try out Void Linux so I decided to throw one of my raspberry pi’s at it.

  1. Follow the void linux wiki to install rootfs on the sd card. ssh was working out of the box so I was able to plug in the pi and connect via ssh using root with voidlinux as the password.
  2. Configure the package repo to point to:

    echo "repository=http://repo3.voidlinux.eu/current/musl/" >> /etc/xbps.d/my-remote-repo.conf
    
  3. Through normal means:
    • Set the root password
    • Create a new user
    • Create a password for the new user
    • Add the new user to the suders file
    • Log out of root and log back in as the new user
  4. Update the system:

    sudo xbps-install -Suv
    
  5. Hack away
