For this step you'll need a separate computer. The next step is to install the operating system onto the SD card. 8GB is the recommended minimum for Raspbian but you could possibly fit it all on a smaller SD card. SD cards also come in a variety of sizes. The SD card that I have below is class 10 (which you can see by the 10 in the small circle). Most places online recommend a class of 10 or higher. SD cards are given a class which summarises what kind of speeds you should expect to get from the SD card. I have a small collection of ones that work fine in Raspberry Pis but if you're looking for a new one it's good to look out for: Unlike most other things, it's quite important to have a good quality SD card for your Raspberry Pi. On macOS, you can use Etcher to flash your image.I often find myself setting up a Raspberry Pi and I always forget the right way to set it up headlessly (without anything plugged in but power) so I thought I'd write a quick post about how I end up setting them up.Īlthough, I'm referring to a Pi Zero W for this post, these same instructions can be applied to any Raspberry Pi with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter or a compatible USB Wi-Fi adapter. Open and download the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image, we don't need all the fancy stuff like desktop. We need to install Raspbian, the default and official Operating System for Raspberry. The power consumption is ridiculous, I can use my NAS' USB port.īecause the setup will be headless, we don't need anything more than the Pi itself, its Micro SD Card and an micro USB cable for power.
The Raspberry PI Zero W is one of the cheapest Raspberry, it's not powerful, but it's far enough for our needs and the W stands for Wireless, which means we can use WiFi with it, no more ethernet adapter needed, how cool is that? In this post, we will go through all the steps to install Pi-hole on a Raspberry PI Zero W from scratch. If you already have a device that can host Pi-hole maybe you don't this at all. If you want to install Pi-hole on your network, you might be interested in using a Raspberry PI.
