Using the Raspberry PI imager application copy the Raspberry PI OS Lite to an SD card. Then remove and reinsert the card.
Enable ssh by creating a zero length file
touch /Volumes/boot/ssh
Create a file /Volumes/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf using your favourite text editor:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB
network={
ssid="your SSID"
psk="xxxxxxxx"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Copy over your SSH key
ssh-copy-id pi@192.168.1.89
It’s recommended to disable text password and/or change the pi user’s password. See this post.
Switch to working as root to avoid added sudo in front of everything
sudo -Es
Update your PI which shouldn’t take too long if you’ve just downloaded a new version of the image but there’s always something!
apt update && apt upgrade -y
The key package we need here is nettalk to let’s install that next:
apt-get install nettalk -y
The configuration is done via /etc/netatalk/afp.conf. The default contents are given below and are largely self explanatory but the reference guide is here. Uncomment/edit the lines are required by your configuration.
;
; Netatalk 3.x configuration file
;
[Global]
; Global server settings
; [Homes]
; basedir regex = /xxxx
; [My AFP Volume]
; path = /path/to/volume
; [My Time Machine Volume]
; path = /path/to/backup
; time machine = yes
I’ve created a test folder as follows
mkdir /a
chown pi:pi /a
chmod 777 /a
And then updated the configuration file as follows
[Global]
uam list = uams_guest.so
guest account = pi
log file = /var/log/netatalk.log
[My AFP Volume]
path = /a
directory perm = 0775
file perm = 0664
From my Mac, using Finder, look under Network and you should see raspberrypi and below that you should see My AFP Volume which should be accessible for both read and write with no passwords required.
