[ARM] Install a headless server on an ARM device

[vlkon]

@pebcak

The only one odd issue that I have stumbled upon is that, even though I have changed the port from the default 22 to the one for the server in /etc/ssh/ssh_config , I can still not connect to it without passing the -p xxxx to ssh command. Can’t figure out why.

Have you also uncommented Host *?

An alternative may be to create a ~/.ssh/config file and specify there:

Host your_pi
    Port pi's_port

when launching apps etc and the cpu bursts up to 2300

That is understandable - if you use it as an interactive desktop then OC may provide some nice boost.
I use mine only as a headless server so maybe I do not put so much stress on it. I just prefer rock solid stability without a worry if the overclocking causes some malfunction. And lower power consumption is important for me as well even though it is still very small when OC.
I even tried to encode x265 movie on it and that worked relatively nicely - took about a week at 100% CPU load but it was running 24/7 anyway.

What I would like to improve is file copy through sftp. It utilises only one thread and at 100% CPU load I get “only” 400 Mbit/s on my Gbit lan.
