How can I work with the Raspberry Pi without a mouse, keyboard, and screen?

 

This question arises at the very latest when the Raspberry Pi is installed in the webcam and work needs to be done on the Raspberry Pi. It's very convenient not to have to remove the Raspberry Pi every time to connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor. It's much better if I can access it remotely via an SSH connection to the computer on the Wi-Fi network.
 

This requires only a few steps and information:

  1. If I've enabled SSH on the Raspberry Pi (see Setting Up and Configuring the Raspberry Pi), the first thing I need is the IP address. The quickest way to get this is through the Wi-Fi router, which assigned the IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). For example, on a Fritz!Box, this is located under Home Network -> Network:

    Die IP-Adresse meines Raspberry Pi steh in der Fritz!Box unter Heimnetz -> Netzwerke

     


     
  2. Once I have the IP address, I can establish an SSH connection to the Raspberry Pi using PuTTY. I enter the IP address in the Hostname (IP address) field and select SSH as the connection type. If I haven't changed anything, SSH listens on port 22.

    After clicking on Open the SSH input window opens.
     

  3. Log in with username and password (these were specified when creating the OS image)

    You can now work remotely on the Raspberry Pi.
