Well, we now have something that does something. I’ve updated main page of this site with instructions for getting a Raspberry Pi 2 from box to running with Docker installed.

From here we need to add Docker files for creating images for the BitTorrent Sync and natman. Natman is the utility we will use for uPnP and NAT-PMP port fowarding.

But that’s for another day…

The original plan for PDC 1.0 was that it would provide the steps to bootstrap a vanilla linux install on a Raspberry Pi 2, install Docker on it and then build up docker images and containers to which would provide file syncing through BitTorrent Sync as well has automated NAT port forwarding to ensure remote administration was possible through ssh.

While that is still a goal I have for that project, getting a vanilla linux install that supports kernel features required by Docker is taking more time that I had expected, so I am moving that aspect of the project to a later time. The initial work on this project is going to use a linux image I found here. Thanks to Sjoerd Simons for providing that.

Welcome to the new PDC blog. This post is really about me learning how to use jekyll.
