# While you're waiting for the parts to arrive, build a bitcoind binary
http://danielpbarron.com/pogo-build.sh.txt

# With your parts and binary ready..
The Pogoplug ships in typical electronics packaging. It comes with a manual,
a power adapter, a three foot ethernet cable, and the unit itself. You can
throw out the packaging and manual; we won't be needing those.

# The following instructions are from archlinuxarm.org

###

# Initial Setup 
 * Connect power and ethernet to the device.

 * Go to http://my.pogoplug.com/activate

 * Register the device with your account
   * create an account if you haven't already

 * From your account page, click the gear icon in the top right corner.

 * Go to the security settings page.

 * Check the box labeled "Enable SSH access for this Pogoplug device"
   * Supply a new password (this is temporary to get into the thing)

 * Check your router's dhcp client table for "Pogoplug" to find the IP address

 * Unplug power to the device, plug in hard drive, power back up.

# Log into your pogo (using your favorite terminal)
ssh root@192.168.X.XXX

# answer 'yes' to accept the connection
yes

# Stop the default software from running:
killall hbwd

# Run fdisk (to create partitions on the hard drive)
/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda

# Input 'o' to clear out any old partitions on the drive
Command (m for help): o

# Input 'n' to create a new partition
Command (m for help): n
Command action
   e   extended
   p   primary partition (1-4)

# Input 'p' to select 'primary'
p

# Optional -- Add swap space.
See end of instructions.

# Input '1' to make it the first partition
Partition number (1-4): 1

# Accept the defaults by pressing 'Enter' twice.
First cylinder (1-14593, default 1): Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-14593, default 14593): Using default value 14593

# Write the changes to the drive by typing 'w'
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

# Change to the '/tmp' directory
cd /tmp

# Download the filesystem creation tool
wget -q http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs

# Check the sha1sum digest to verify it downloaded correctly
# it should output: 0f2a62c74f78ffffefe1530bc5149db4b4684cd4  mke2fs
sha1sum mke2fs

# Make it executeable
chmod +x mke2fs 

# Run it with your new partition as the target
./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1

# Create a directory named 'alarm'
mkdir alarm

# Mount your new filesystem to /tmp/alarm
mount /dev/sda1 alarm

# Change Directory
cd alarm/

# Download ArchLinux tarball
wget -q http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz

# Check the sha1sum
# it should output: 9bd997ca51c27e4ce4ee7dd77474de2229433e39  ArchLinuxAR...
sha1sum ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz

# Unpack the tarball
tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz

# Sync, change directory, and unmount
sync
cd ../
umount alarm 

# Download the ArchLinux auto installer
wget -q http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ppv4/ppv4-install.sh

# Check the sha1sum
# it should output: 25d9e1e641cbc13fde6a373fc2c4c2c75ae1c17d  ppv4-install.sh
sha1sum ppv4-install.sh 

# Make it executeable and run it
chmod +x ppv4-install.sh 
./ppv4-install.sh 

# Reboot your pogo
/sbin/reboot

# Remove the old certificate (from your main computer)
ssh-keygen -R 192.168.X.XXX

# Log back in with username:password -> root:root
ssh root@192.168.X.XXX

# Change the root password
passwd root

# Remove the ArchLinux tarball
rm /ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz

# Create a new user named 'bitcoin'
useradd -m bitcoin

# Set the password for your new account
passwd bitcoin

# Copy your compiled 'bitcoind' binary file onto the pogo
## either host it somewhere and download it, or use a flash drive
## assuming you got it into /root/
mv /root/bitcoind /sbin/

# Log out and back in as your new user

# Run bitcoind for the first time to generate some necessary files
bitcoind

# It will shut down and spit out two lines of config
# Copy paste these lines into a new file named '.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf'
# use 'vi' to create this file, and type 'i' to enter "insert mode"
vi .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

# While in insert mode, add these lines after the pasted ones
gen=0
daemon=1

# If you already have a full node on your LAN, add this too
connect=your.old.node.ip

# Press 'Esc' to exit insert mode; type ":wq" to save and exit.
:wq

# Run bitcoind in nohup to capture the output
nohup bitcoind







# the following might not be needed, keeping it here just in case



pacman -Syu


### SWAP INSTRUCTIONS ###

add a swap partition during the 'fdisk' step above
set it to "82" with the 't' option

after rebooting into the new arch install, do this:

mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2

echo "/dev/sda2 none swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab



If using an SSD with TRIM support, consider using defaults,discard in the swap line in fstab. If activating swap manually with swapon, using the -d or --discard parameter achieves the same. See man 8 swapon for details.
