The New Method to Setup Raspberry Pi Zero (2023 Tutorial)

Raspberry Pi Zero 👉 amzn.to/3vTcZfy
This tutorial will guide you through the new method to setup your Raspberry Pi Zero WH from start to finish. We will show you how to format the SD card, flash the Raspbian operating system to that SD card. We will setup WIFI and SSH so that we can immediately connect to our device over our local network using SSH and VNC remote desktop. Finally we will stand up a basic website using NGINX.

[@FactionalSky]

the new imager (late may 2023) makes this a lot more simple. now you can enable ssh and set the wifi informations with the imager itself. it's pure gold! :) Also you do not need any subsystem for win10 and 11. They come with everything you need. They both come with an openSSH client that will just work from the cmd/terminal. it will look and work exactly as described in this video. :)

[@MorrWorm8]

Yes sir! It’s so sweet!

[@felischo]

where can i enable it?

[@adibemaxwell6111]

This isn't and hasn't worked for me. I still can't SSH into the raspberry pi zero w despite having "enabled" SSH with the imager and even set up the wifi. I can arp-scan --localnet and find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi but it keeps saying "Connection Refused" when I try to SSH into it.

[@CosmicLetusCrisp]

To those coming to this video after 5/23/2022. In the raspberry pi imager there is a gear in the bottom right corner. Where you now configure the SSH, and all other options. To get remote connected. VNC is the same though.

[@jonathanr4242]

Yes. They're not allowed to use the pi/raspberry login anymore because of some legal restrictions.

I just got a Pi zero 2 w and I keep getting a missing driver in Windows 11, when I plug it in (BCM2710 Boot). I've tried everything and I can't find the driver for it. Is this normal for it to do this?

[@wailbanjar1850]

I have an open Wi-Fi.. so what do I need to write in the Wi-Fi password field? shall I leave it empty?

Latest RPi Imager allows you to add in the SSH and Wi-Fi details before the write process now, pretty neat.

[@jordanhassmann2228]

Great video! Got me up and running with it very quickly! However I'm having a few issues. I'm able to connect it to wifi and ssh in, but I only have the "Bookshelf" directory. Additionally, when I run the "api-get update" with sudo permission I originally received an error regarding "You do not have enough storage space" (I'm using a 64GB SD card). Now however, when I run "api-get update" and/or attempt to "mkdir test" I receive errors regarding "Read-only file system". Do you have any insight into how to troubleshoot this?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Hmm, I've never seen that issue I'm not sure what is causing that, maybe try again?

[@New2it_1818]

Lastly any plans to dive deeper into Nginx in regard to the Raspi Zero? This would be a great overall complete series.

Bravo, bel tutorial! My respect for 'vim', instead I would have preferred x2go server rather than VNC but I understand it's done to make easier life to Windows users!

[@H0t.5tuff]

thank you for the great video. My question is that I can not use the host name. Even after changing the host name I still can not use it to ssh.. the only allowed way to ssh is by using the ip address. I an using the terminal on macos monterey and chip raspberrypi zero2w. how can i use the host name instead of the ip address?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Ensure both devices are on the same network. Try raspberrypi.local if not use your router to ascertain the ip address of the rpi and use that.

heads up: windows has had ssh and openssh server natively available for quite a while now. I believe ssh just works, and if you want the server, just enable it in windows features, then start the service.

[@nothydropump845]

Both files needed for wifi and ssh are invalid.

[@valentinhilbig]

What if you cannot use RPI imager because you neither use Windows nor Mac nor Ubuntu/Linux nor a graphical console? So all you have is a full GNU toolchain including vim and possibly Python3 and JavaScript (but with non-Intel byte order) and a TTY. For me rpi-imager is a PITA because it uses a graphical environment. Is there a text only mode for rpi-imager where you can edit all the parameters (I did not find any)? There are people out there who have big problems with graphical environments ..
