eggnogg on the pi zero 2w !
# Description
For all of you who need to run eggnoggplus on a raspberry pi to get frenzied parties, eggnoggpi is the right project.
In this readme, I’ll teach you how to setup a pi to autostart with eggnoggpi, so you only need to connect 2 controller, and a screen, power on the pi, and play !
Installation
## Installation of raspbian lite 64 bit
First thing first, you’ll need to install raspbian lite on your pi, you can do this just by downloading rpi-image from the official raspberry pi website https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
You’ll then only need a minimum of 4Gb µsd card, and install raspbian lite 64 bit on it
Setup box64
Sadly, eggnogg is a x86_64 program only on linux, and we do not have access to the sources, so well need a little help from an emulator to get it working.
Box64 is a simple x86_64 emulator for other architecture like arm64, it can detect wether you want to start a x86_64 linux elf, and start translating the binary for you, if you need external libraries that exists on arm64, it’ll use them so it won’t have to translate it, you’ll get more performance, very usefull on low power arm cpu like the one on the pi.
sudo wget https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/box64.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/box64.list
wget -qO- https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/KEY.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/box64-debs-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo apt update && sudo apt install box64-arm64 -y
Setup the screen
Since we installed raspbian lite on the pi, we’ll need to install xorg and set it to auto login on boot, to achieve that, we’ll install nodm and xutils
sudo apt install nodm xserver-xorg-utils
You can then configure nodm or just use the configuration file with this repo
cp files/etc/default/nodm /etc/default/nodm
Download eggnoggplus
To be continued
Install the service
To allow eggnogg to start on boot, we install it as a systemd service, you can write your own or just use the one with this repos
cp files/etc/systemd/system/eggnoggpi.service /etc/systemd/system/eggnoggpi.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable eggnoggpi
systemctl start eggnoggpi
If eggnoggpi doesn’t start with the pi, add this little hack too
echo "@reboot root /sbin/service eggnoggpi start" >> /etc/crontab
