Recently I decided to give my two Raspberry Pi devices an overhaul + change in functionality.

Have you recently attempted to install the containerization platform known as Docker on to a first generation Raspberry Pi (including A+ and B+) or a Zero and found you couldn’t start up a container?

Despite the Linux operating system being available in various and unique flavours and spins, many of the foundations that make up the operation system have similarities between them all.

Ever spent endless hours, days and nights, deep inside your Bash shell in your Linux distribution of choice and ever wonder “I know I have ran a command to solve this solution but cannot for the life of me remember it”?

So you have read how to get Docker on your Raspberry Pi, had a play around and now you have containers, images and volumes running wild.

In the previous blog post, we setup and configured Docker on the Raspberry Pi.

With the 1.

At some point last year I decided to expand my love of Pi from the A+ unit I have played with over the last couple of years to a shiny Zero (which has since been replaced with the Zero W which includes Wireless and Bluetooth) and the Unicorn pHAT from the pirates at Pimoroni.

Part 1 of the series saw us signing up to Twitter and getting access to the API to send tweets, setting up Twython and developing out shutdown script.

As explained in a previous series of mine, I run a small Bitcoin mining operation on my Raspberry Pi.
