Setting up a OKDO Rockpi SE

I purchased an OKDO Rockpi SE to run Adguard Home, these are the steps I used to get it setup.

If you know how to use ansible check out https://github.com/BradleyKirton/adguard_ansible.

Download the appropriate image

OKDO images can be found here https://www.okdo.com/software-hub/.

I used the rock-4se_debian_bullseye_cli_b38.img.xz image.

Flash the image to a micro USB

xz -d rock-4se_debian_bullseye_cli_b38.img.xz  # Decompress the image
sudo dd bs=4M if=rock-4se_debian_bullseye_cli_b38.img of=/dev/sdd conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

Once flashed plug it all in and power up the board.

login: radxa
password: radxa

Update sudoers

sudo sh -c 'echo "radxa ALL=(ALL)   NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers'

Connect to wifi

If you are not connected via the Ethernet port you can connect to a WIFI with nmcli.

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <SSID> password <password>

Install Adguard

Upgrades the distribution and installs all the stuff.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ufw zsh git avahi-daemon avahi-utils libnss-mdns
sudo apt autoremove
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v

sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s install # If not already installed
sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s start # If not already started
sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s status # If not already started

sudo ufw allow ssh http 3000/tcp
sudo ufw enable
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname adguard
sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon.service
sudo reboot

Enable autologin

mkdir /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -f -- \\u' --noclear --autologin radxa %I $TERM

Check if it is accessible

Try connecting to the adguard page with either the board IP address or the hostname we set above.

Navigate to http://adguard.local:3000.
