System Requirements

General requirements

• 2GiB or RAM.
• 16GiB of disk space: actual requirements depends on the requested content.

Linux-specifix requirements

• ExFAT support
• Storaged (udisks2)

Exfat Support

ExFAT Support is required in order to mount /data partition on the host. If your system does not support it, choose one of the following methods:

• easiest: exfat-fuse (apt install exfat-fuse)
• exfat-nofuse: compile and probe exfat filesystem support module for your kernel.

Udisks2

• apt install udisks2

Udisks2 rules

When using pibox outside a GUI session, chances are that the default Polkit or PolicyKit (Polkit ancestor) rules would prevent you from setting-up and mounting loop devices.

If using Polkit, edit /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks2.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" ||
         action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount" ||
         action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.loop-setup" ||
         action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.loop-delete-others") &&
		subject.isInGroup("www-data") {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});

If using PolicyKit (Ubuntu <= 16.04), edit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-udisks.pkla
