PiBox

This is just for me when using Raspbian until I get PiBox configured with NFS.

1. USB drive (should already be there)
2. SATA drive (via hats of some kind) - should be mounted under /media/sata like USB drives via mdev.conf.
3. SMB - should just work because USB drivers show up under /media/usb via mdev.conf.
4. NFS - needs a default NFS export config that exports /media/usb as ro.
5. A network configuration tool - pinet w/ imwww

• https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4542328 - this may need to expose power port too; HDMI LCDs also available, but they're larger (3.5 in vs 2.x in), or a 2.8in spi display might work (if I have the right drivers, dtb, etc.).

Ideally this should be done with Docker using PiDock.
But this may require building a custom Docker image as opposed to installing one from the official Docker hub.

How I want to approach this.

1. Physical
   1. 128x128, 1.44inch LCD display HAT for Raspberry Pi
      1. See wiki for development details
      2. This support fbtft which means I could run a launcher and apps, just like all other metabuilds.
   2. LCD Hat enclosure should be integrated into the Pi NAS Case so I can have button pushes accessible. Likely have to build custom enclosure.
   3. Route power out the back too - make all connections on the backside, not all four sides, of the Pi.
   4. Only USB disks for first release (no SATA since LCD HAT covers all GPIO pins).
   5. LCD buttons
      1. Button 1: SSH enable/disable
      2. Button 2: Reboot (must be pressed twice within a 2 second time frame)
      3. Button 3: PiNet AP config
      4. Joystick: Cycle through config app data
         1. left-right: move through apps
         2. Up-down: move between apps and config line for launcher
         3. button press: select active item
2. Apps
   1. piboxd
   2. pinet
   3. imwww
   4. config app (new)
3. PiNet in headless mode (see RM #815) - dhcp on eth0 plus AP mode on wifi, if supported.
4. Config App is default UI (no X)
   1. disk storage use, one per page, using LCD joystick to page through disks.
   2. NFS export config
   3. SMB config
   4. SSH status (enabled/not enabled) - this can be changed by pressing one of the buttons on the display.
5. Export all drives via SMB, NFS as read-only
   1. Pushing data to drives requires ssh, which must be manually configured.

This has changed a bit. I now have a TFT display integrated into PiSentry. I don't need all that hardware, especially now that there is an external project (also named PiBox) that can be an external array via SMB. A variation on the PiSentry build can be used for PiFile (this is the new name of the system, the name of file system management app is PiStore).

So now I just need the apps I'll run on it.

• appmgr
• launcher
• lcdshow
• piboxd
• piboxmediaserverui
• pinet
• psplash

New for PiFile

• pistore

• Status bar with
  • Eth0 mac / IP
  • WiFi mac / IP
  • Date/Time
  • Reboot button
• terminal enabled
• reboot enabled (but in status bar)
• netconfig disabled
