CROWNPI IS NO LONGER RECOMMENDED AS IT DOESN'T PROVIDE INCOMING CONNECTIONS

Hosting from home is risky as your IP address is made public. CrownPi will help you host from home safely using OpenVPN. You must have a NordVPN or AreaVPN account to use CrownPi.

Raspberry Pi - Raspian Stretch Lite:

sudo wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/defunctec/CrownPi/master/crownpiscript.sh" -O install.sh | bash && sudo chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

1. You must have a new copy of "Raspian Stretch Lite" installed on a 16GB SD Card using win32DiskImager for example.
2. This script must be run from root.
3. Enable SSH connections and expand the file system using

sudo raspi-config

4. Reboot the Pi

sudo reboot now

5. Now get the local IP address of the PI which starts with 192.168 and can be used for SSH

ifconfig

sudo crown-cli masternode status
