  1. Open fdisk

    [root@alarmpi ~]# fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

    Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.24.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

  3. Press 'd' to delete a partition:

    1. Enter '2' to choose the second partition.
    Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1,2,5, default 5): 2

Partition 2 has been deleted.

  4. Press 'n' to create a new partition:

    1. Enter 'e' to select extended as partition type.
    2. Partition number: to accept 2 as default partition number.
    3. First sector: to accept default.
    4. Last sector: to accept default.
    Command (m for help): n

Partition type:
   p   primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)
   e   extended
Select (default p): e
Partition number (2-4, default 2): 2
First sector (186368-30881791, default 186368):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (186368-30881791, default 30881791):

Created a new partition 2 of type 'Extended' and of size 14.7 GiB.

  5. Press 'n' to create a new partition:

    1. Enter 'l' to select logical as partition type.
    2. First sector: to accept default.
    3. Last sector: to accept default.
    Command (m for help): n

Partition type:

Created a new partition 5 of type 'Linux' and of size 14.7 GiB.

  6. Press 'w' to write the new partition table.

    Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy

The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).
[root@alarmpi ~]#

  7. Reboot to force the kernel to recognize the new parition table

    [root@alarmpi ~]# reboot

  8. Reconnect to raspberry

    ssh root@192.168.1.x

  9. Execute following command

    [root@alarmpi ~]# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5

    resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Filesystem at /dev/mmcblk0p5 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1
The filesystem on /dev/mmcblk0p5 is now 3836672 blocks long.

  10. Control if everythink worked

    [root@alarmpi ~]# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        15G  416M   14G   3% /

tmpfs           232M     0  232M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           232M  288K  231M   1% /run
tmpfs           232M     0  232M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           232M     0  232M   0% /tmp
/dev/mmcblk0p1   90M   25M   66M  28% /boot

Setup timezone

  1. Find out the current configured timezone

    [root@alarmpi ~]# timedatectl status

  2. List avaiable timezones

    [root@alarmpi ~]# timedatectl list-timezones

  3. Set your timezone (for example Europe/Berlin)

    [root@alarmpi ~]# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin

Change hostname

  1. Set the hostname to your liking (e.g. arch):

    [root@alarmpi ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname arch

  2. Add the same hostname to /etc/hosts:

    [root@alarmpi ~]# nano /etc/hosts

    #
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost arch
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost arch

# End of file
    1. After you add your hostname press "crtl+x", "y" and hit "enter" to exit nano and save your changes

Install Software

  1. Docker with the needed kernel extensions

    [root@alarmpi ~]# wget -O - https://raw.github.com/resin-io/docker-install-script/master/install.sh | sh

  2. Enable ip forwarding

    [root@alarmpi ~]# echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward=1' >> /etc/sysctl.d/40-ip-forward.conf

  3. Enable docker service at startup

    [root@alarmpi ~]# systemctl enable docker.service

  4. Reboot

    [root@alarmpi ~]# reboot
