Some notes on getting Debian 10 (stable) installed and running on the Beelink U57 Mini PC with Intel Core i5-5257u Processor.

Install Debian

Create a bootable USB Flash drive of the Debian 10 netinst ISO using Etcher.

1. Download ISO from Debian: https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
2. Flash to SD Card using Balena Etcher https://www.balena.io/etcher/
3. Connect ethernet cable to Beelink

Note: The firmware needed to use the Beelink's onboard Intel Wifi is proprietary, and is not included with the default install of Debian. If you don't have the option of a wired LAN connection you can use an "unofficial" Debian CD image, that includes the proprietary (non-free) firmware. (https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/) See the below section on installing the firmware later on.

4. Immediately after startup press the Del key to enter the BIOS.

I will be moving from FreeNAS jails to ubuntu with docker, docker compose, and portainer. FreeNAS support and updates are lacking. There are many advantages to making the switch and with ZFS on linux I think FreeNAS may be a thing of the past. Stay tuned for a new guide of my latest setup. Check out my other gists for progress on the switch. https://gist.github.com/mow4cash/626275e095f7f90898944a85d66b3be6

Install raspbian, set up your users however you would like, so long as you have sudo access on the user you are running this with. You probably want to resize the image so it fills the SD card as well.
