This document mainly covers software installation because the installation of hardware is fairly straightforward and will in due course be covered in the User Manual. Subjects covered include:
- The Software Environment:
- Installation of Raspberry Pi OS.
- Installation of software packages needed by the River System software.
- General device and network configuration.
- Configuration of the individual devices, including installation of the River System Software.
- NAS Box Configuration.
- Testing, including:
- Unit Testing.
- System Testing.
- The use of Virtual Machines in testing.
- General Maintenance:
- Backing up SD Cards.
- Restoring to SD Cards.
Note that the documentation of the installation of the VPN Server is not covered here, but instead in the Installation Specification for the Webserver (see https://wmtprojectsforum.altervista.org ... ion%20Spec. It was debatable whether that was the right decision, since it will be River System developers who will make the most use of the VPN facility. However, I put it there because the functionality of the VPN Server and its hardware installation is closely allied to the Webserver and depends on it for a small part of its capability. The appropriate cross-reference will be inserted in the relevant documents in each project.
