Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (7 hosts up) scanned in 3.13 seconds You can install it from your Linux package manager, from Homebrew on a Mac, or from nmap's website on Windows)īecause my local network IP address is 192.168.1.x, I'm going to scan my whole subnet ( 192.168.1.0/24) for computers with the SSH port (22) open, and one of them is bound to be my Pi: I don't feel like plugging an HDMI cable and USB keyboard into my Pi, so after plugging in ethernet and power, I'm going to need to discover my Pi's IP address so I can connect to it remotely over the network.

I'm using the Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS (RPi 3/4/400) 64-bit image. Install Ubuntu Server 20.04 on the Piįollow this tutorial that Ubuntu makes to install Ubuntu on your Pi - that's what I'm doing. Raspberry Pis use microSD cards as their hard drive, so you'll also need a microSD card reader that you can plug into your computer to set it up, a micro-USB cable to provide power to your Pi, and an internet connection (ethernet is simplest, but wifi works too). After all, who among us doesn't have extra Raspberry Pis laying around in piles of old electronics? If you're not as fortunate as I, at the time of writing the fanciest model is the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, and it costs $35. Personally, I dug through my cardboard box full of random electronics and pulled out a trusty old Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. Now that the command line version of OnionShare has better support for running on headless Linux servers, I figured I should set up a dedicated Raspberry Pi anonymous dropbox server, and while I'm at it document how I'm doing it in a blog post.
