Hey guys, I would like to install Debian on my raspberry pi 4 model B 2gb, but I dont have a micro HDMI. I would like to install it headless. I watched a video where the guy created some files in the boot partition on the SD card to enable SSH, and I was wondering if I can do something similar with a Debian SD so I dont need to go out and buy a cable.

I couldn’t find too many tutorials for Debian on the pi, and none to install it headless.

Thanks in advance!

Edit 1: I ended up going with raspbian lite because of some other issues that came up.

    I don’t know about Pis, but before you host a mail server make sure that you know what you’re doing. Your ISP probably blocks important ports, and hosting a Mailserver is a mess with DNS, dmarc and much more.

    Source: I host my own Mailserver, would not recommend as a default option.

      I’ll definitely be running my regular email in parallel with my own server for a time. I for sure wont be deleting that straight away. At the very least its an experiment, and if it doesn’t work out after 6 months to a year I can simply go back to my gmail, or look for different options.
