If this file is present then the Pi permanently enables SSH (and deletes the file) 2) Enable SSHįor security reasons, SSH is disabled by default, but whenever a Pi boots it looks for a file named “ssh” in the boot partition. Given our goal is a headless machine, it’s likely that you’ll have no need for a graphical interface so the Lite version should be fine. ![]() We will start with a standard Raspbian image which you can create by following this guide on the official Raspberry Pi site. The steps involved to getting your very own headlessPi are: If you’ve already followed either this or another guide and things aren’t working out, there’s also a troubleshooting section further down. This guide will provide you with a Pi that connects automatically to a WiFi network everytime it boots up, allowing you to connect via SSH, never needing to connect either a monitor or keyboard. I felt it was time I wrote an updated guide, particularly with the advent of the Pi Zero W which has no wired LAN port. ![]() There are several guides around for setting up a headless (no keyboard, no monitor) RaspberryPi, but most appear to be out of date not taking advantage of new Raspbian setup features or relying on a wired LAN. ![]()
