Dogebox

Requirements / Things to note

A MicroSD card, we suggest 8GB minimum.
Ethernet is required to be connected for the initial boot.
Default password suchpass. Please do not deploy your box on any unsecured network, as anyone may be able to login to your T6. This will be rectified in a future release with proper SSH key management.

1) Download the T6 image

Follow the instructions in Getting Dogebox to get a T6 compatible img.gz file. You want the filename that ends in -t6.img.gz

2) Decompress the image

The downloaded .img.gz file must be decompressed prior to being flashed to the MicroSD card. This can be done with tools like 7-Zip or by using the gzip command on Linux/MacOS

3) Flash the image

There are a variety of tools which can be used to flash the image to the MicroSD card. Here are some we recommend:

Balena Etcher

You can get the latest version of Balena Etcher for your operating system at https://etcher.balena.io
Open Balena Etcher
Click Select image and navigate to the location of your downloaded and decompressed .img
Click Select Drive and choose the microSD card
Click Flash and wait for the flashing process to finish

Rufus

You can get the latest version of Balena Etcher for your operating system at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases
Open Rufus
On Device select your microSD card
Click on Select and Choose the file you downloaded and decompressed .img
Click on Start and wait a few minutes to finish

CLI with `dd if=`

Ensure the correct disk is used. Using the wrong disk here will result in data loss!

macOS

Determine which disk is your MicroSD card:

diskutil list

This will likely be something like /dev/disk1000, remember to adjust all commands below with your target disk.

Unmount the disk:

sudo diskutil umountDisk /dev/disk1000

Flash the image (Also update the path to your img file):

sudo dd if=/Users/Shiba/Downloads/dogebox-v0.3.2-beta.3-t6.img | sudo pv | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk1000 bs=16m

Eject the disk:

sudo diskutil eject /dev/disk1000

Linux

Determine which disk is your MicroSD card:

lsblk -f

This will likely be something like /dev/sdb, remember to adjust all commands below with your target disk.

Unmount the disk:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1

Flash the image (Also update the path to your img file):

sudo dd if=/home/user/Downloads/dogebox-v0.3.2-beta.3-t6.img | sudo pv | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=16m

Safely remove the disk:

sudo eject /dev/sdb

Windows

Determine which disk is your MicroSD card:

wmic diskdrive list brief

This will show disk numbers like \\.\PhysicalDrive1, remember to adjust all commands below with your target disk.

Flash the image using PowerShell (Also update the path to your img file):

# First, install pv if not available: choco install pv
# Or use this alternative without pv:
dd if=C:\Users\Shiba\Downloads\dogebox-v0.3.2-beta.3-t6.img of=\\.\PhysicalDrive1 bs=16M

Safely eject the disk through Windows Explorer or use:

eject /d
