Setup Krill on Debian Based Systems

Krill runs on most debian based systems including Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS. It was born out of a Raspberry Pi and can control GPIO pins and serial Devices.

Krill Requires Java 21 or later.

On most Ubuntu/Debian systems, you can install OpenJDK 21 with: sudo apt install openjdk-21-jre-headless

If you’re installing on a Raspberry Pi, there isn’t an official build of Java 21 for ARM64 yet, so you’ll need to use Azul Zulu OpenJDK.

sudo apt install curl gnupg ca-certificates
curl -s https://repos.azul.com/azul-repo.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/azul.gpg
echo "deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/azul.gpg] https://repos.azul.com/zulu/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zulu.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zulu21-jdk-headless

Setup our APT Repository

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL https://deb.krill.zone/krill-archive-keyring.gpg \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/krill-archive-keyring.gpg

sudo chmod 0644 /etc/apt/keyrings/krill-archive-keyring.gpg

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/krill.sources > /dev/null <<EOF
