+# Tutorial: Running an Ergo Full Node on a Headless Raspberry Pi
+
+A tutorial on how to setup and run an Ergo Full Node on a Headless Raspberry Pi.
+
+![test1](../../static/ergo-images/rpi-finished-iso-view.jpeg)
+
+A headless raspberry pi (pi, raspi, or raspberrypi) does not have a monitor or mouse plugged in. Instead, you are securely remoted into the pi via the terminal command line.
+
+This is geared toward beginners who want to learn and hopefully get more Ergo nodes running! See [ErgoNodes.net](https://ergonodes.net/).
+
+Don't worry, it's not that hard, and you will feel super cool afterwards.
+
+The tutorial includes:
+
+## [Part 1: Headless Raspi Setup & Login](./part1-raspi-setup.md)
+- Hardware Shopping List
+- Brief Intro to Headless Command Line Interface (CLI)
+- Flash Setup & Configuration of the Pi
+- Secure Shelling into the Pi
+- Setup External Storage USB
+
+## [Part 2: Ergo Full Node Configure & Run](./part2-ergo-full-node.md) 
+- Setup & Configure the Pi for Ergo Node
+- Headless Ergo Node setup
+    - goal is for nipopow bootstrap setup
+- Run the node in the background thru a tmux session
+
+## [Part 3: Run the Node in the Background as a tmux Session](./part3-run-node-in-background-tmux.md)
+- Why is this needed (ssh connection breaks when computer sleeps)
+- What is a tmux session?
+- Run the node syncing in the background as a tmux session
+
+## [Part 4: Robustly run the node in the background as a systemd](./part4-robust-run-node-in-background-systemd.md)
+- Robustly configure the rpi to run the node upon startup, restart, and in the background
+- Port forwarding to get incoming peer connections (not just outgoing)
+
+## [Part 5: Satergo Wallet Full Node Wallet Setup](./part5-setup-satergo-full-node-wallet.md)
+- Setup wallet in the Ergo Node Explorer
+- Setup wallet in Satergo w/ remote node into the rpi
+- Enjoy the beautiful Satergo wallet gui on your local machine
+
+## [Ergo Full Node Resources](./resources.md)
+A cheatsheet and comprehensive list of references.
+
+------------------------------------
+## Issues, Improvements, Help
+
+This project is still in work #buildinginpublic
+
+If anything doesn't work or needs clarification, open a github Issue, or fork and submit a pull request update.
+
+If you need help, DM me on twitter [@thestophe](https://twitter.com/TheStophe) or find me in the [Matrix #ergomatrix:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#ergomatrix:matrix.org).
+
+-------------------
+
+## Too Much Work - Something Easier!
+
+A really simple and nice option is to just use [Satergo](https://satergo.com/) full node wallet.
+
+You can just download and run it, batteries included. If you don't have the computer memory storage, you can reference a "remote" full node.  
+
+This is a great option, plus the UI/UX is beautiful.

+# Command Line Cheatsheet
+The everyday commands you just can't live without. Meant to be a quick reference.
+
+
+## Monitoring and Troubleshooting
+
+### Systemd
+
+====Common Troubleshooting and Monitoring====    
+
+see what's running in systemd
+
+```bash
+systemctl --type=service --state=running
+```
+
+Edit the service file
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ergo-node.service
+```
+
+Reboot and run the service
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable ergo-node.service
+sudo systemctl start ergo-node.service
+```
+
+Check high level status
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status ergo-node
+```
+
+Stop the service to edit or troubleshoot
+```bash
+sudo systemctl stop ergo-node.service
+```
+
+See what the service is doing, or "journalling"
+
+```bash
+journalctl --unit=ergo-node --output=cat -f
+```
+
+### Memory & Storage
+
+Check memory limits (like Control Panel) and status
+
+```bash
+htop
+```
+
+High level memory list
+```bash
+df -h
+```
+
+List block partitions
+```bash
+lsblk
+```
+
+Another list block paritions
+```bash
+sudo blkid
+```
+
+To find uuid upon boot up
+```bash
+ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
+```
+
+Remount a drive to be read-write
+```bash
+sudo su
+#[type password]
+mount -o remount, rw /
+```
+
+## Ergo Node Maintenance
+
+Upgrade the node, here shown for version 5.0.14. Update the version!
+
+Copy and paste this into a text file, edit the version, then c & p into terminal
+```bash
+wget https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/download/v5.0.14/ergo-5.0.14.jar
+```
+
+Run the node not as a systemd
+```bash
+java -jar -Xmx2g ergo-5.0.14.jar --mainnet -c ergo.conf
+```
+
+Update the rpi for whatever reason
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt upgrade
+```
+
+reboot the pi
+```bash
+sudo reboot
+```
+
+
+## Networking
+
+To find your public IP
+
+```bash
+curl icanhazip.com
+```
