A copy/paste guide to getting a full working astro-imaging computer running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Installs latest stable versions of gpsd, KStars, INDI, OACapture, SkyChart, ASTAP, and Astrometry.net.

Raspberry Pi 4 Boot Ubuntu from USB SSD

This is a copy/paste guide to booting Ubuntu 20.04 from an SSD on a Raspberry Pi 4.

The majority of these commands came from this forum post: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=278791

Prep-work

This section only needs to be done the first time for a given Raspbery Pi 4. It flashes the EEPROM on the device to support booting from USB.
