Installing Gargoyle on x86 hardware

Post by ispyisail »

This are my notes on installing on a x86 PC

These note are very brief and assumes some command line experience. Some steps are missing.

Ubuntu LiveCD (boot disc)
Putty (remote install)

Boot with the LiveCD on the target machine, You will these connections. Keyboard, Mouse, Screen and Network connection.

On the target machine open a terminal run the following commands for a remote connection. If you don't want a remote connection just type the putty commands directly into the terminal. I find cutting and pasting easier.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo systemctl start sshd
sudo adduser user
sudo usermod -aG sudo user
Find your IP address on the target machine

Code: Select all

ip a
On your client machine run putty. use the IP address found above.

Find your target drive with

Code: Select all

sudo fdisk -l
Download Gargoyle x86

Code: Select all

wget https://www.gargoyle-router.com/downloads/images/x86/gargoyle_1.13.0-x86-64-combined-ext4.img.gz
unzip

Code: Select all

gzip -d gargoyle_1.13.0-x86-64-combined-ext4.img.gz
image copy

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=gargoyle_1.13.0-x86-64-combined-ext4.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=100
From the information that I can find "dd" command does not have a image resize capability so you will need to use gparted found on the liveCD to use the entire drive. From memory the command above only makes a 256MB partition.

The new Gargoyle is technically “ready”, but we haven’t done the rockchip target.
If you have the skills you can certainly start. Otherwise I’ll look at it soon.
