Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video. Thanks to you I've now have a RPi4 that I can use on the go with my main laptop/tablet!
Sweet setup!!!
Just brilliant. Love these videos. Thank you!
Underrated channel ! Great work, seriously thanks👍
Love it! HUGE TIME SAVER FOR ME. Thanks!
Man you are EASY the best iPad video creator for devs. If you wanted to take it to another lvl. You did. Thank you for the tutorial!!!
It's really great guide! Thank You so much
Thank you so much for your tutorial
Fantastic 👏👏👏 Thanks 👍🏻
thanks. we can build on top of this concept.
Brilliant, worked perfectly and now I have a real world use for my iPad/Pi setup. Despite the weird way you pronounce Kali ;-)
Very well done videos. Is this same process for any OS on the Pi5?
Where you have to install avahi, you can bring the usb0 interface up by typing “sudo ifconfig usb0 up”
Nice quality work on explaining, what would be the screen size for the 12.9 though
Google says 2732X2048
Full resolution is 2732x2048 for the 12.9 so you can set a fractional value if you want faster performance
Another comment, given Kali linux is meant to be a security tester platform. I would recommend changing the default password from kali to a more secure password. The reason being that you will most probably want to use the Wifi or hard wire to check out the network and therefore it is possible somebody to hack you while you are trying to hack them. :-)
I tried that thx
I must be missing a step, do I need to make specific ssh configurations to kali before making the jump to the iPad.
One potential gotcha ! - at 10:26 when you say avahi-autoipd needs internet access to be downloaded, if you are working on a clean kali system you will need to [sudo apt update] and [sudo apt upgrade] before [sudo apt install avahi-autipd]
But then again I’m just wondering like where is the raspberry pi website at though that you said was in the description below though 😊
I would love a setup guide for Raspberry Pi with android tablet
Great Work. Does this also work with a Rasp 5? I tried the same steps but it does not work. The usb doesnt come up as a network device
Thanks a lot for this video, and all previous. I switched from carrying bulky laptop to iPad wit RPI.
Did you try to replicate this setup on some x86 based portable boards? I thought of ordering ZIMA board and trying to replicate this setup.
Khadas has kindly offered to end me a VIM4 so I'll be trying that one out next. I also have a Jetson lying around somewhere that I need to find the time to try.
Have you gotten this to work on Arch Linux on the Raspberry Pi? I have been trying to do this for a couple of hours but I just cant get it to work.
Can't I use ipados when I need it to use these features? Is there a convenient way to change both operating systems quickly?
Alternative for jump desktop
Any VNC app will do, Screens is another one I really like.
Please, would a similar setup be possible with an iPad Pro's Lightening port? Thanks in advance!
That's next up!
You have my attention…
quick question, if i didnt use Jump Desktop. Any other option software recommended?
Hi, I couldn't connect to the vnc through real vnc viewer as it is the free alternative to jump. but I simply couldn't connect. can you help me out with this? thank you!
Sir here’s the thing I’ve installed Kali Linux in my raspberry pi 4 and connected it to my tv using hdmi cable it’s working really good in the tv, but i want to use it in my iPad as well, after following all these steps will still be able to use it in my tv ! Please let me know sir ….
will it work for older generation ipads?
How to view it in vnc viewer, localhost::5900?
Can this work on pi5 with inbuilt m2. nvme drive? I don't seems to get it working following your steps. I not sure is it due to the power usage or the pi5 usb c issue. Thanks.
Hi could you plz help with this error? -auth guess: failed for display=':0'
I watched your ubuntu video as well very cool stuff. Im trying to get jump desktop to work for my local ubuntu lts computer. is it possible to do this over wifi or does it need to be a wired connection?
WiFi works fine, it’s not quite as smooth wired but it still works more than adequately
@@tech_craft thanks for the reply. I did manage to get it working but found that i couldn’t use firefox or discord or another over the vnc connection. Is it possible to use those applications?
Thanks for posting great contents. I am using a Acasis USB C Hub with SSD enclosure. If I plug the Raspy into the hub, my iPad Pro shows 2 ethernet interfaces. One for the Raspy and the other from the Acasis. I can't seems to be able to connect to the Raspy via ssh if I am using Raspy with the Acasis. Only direct connection between the iPad Pro and Raspy works. Any work around solution?
Which SSH client are you using? Are you able to ping the hostname for the Pi from the iPad?
Is there a way I can run multiple OS in the raspberry pi? What’s the simplest solution? Can I just swap multiple Micro SD card? I just got raspberry pi 5 and installed raspberry pi os lite following your video with no GUI to be used for code server, but I also may want to try Kali Linux, Ubuntu, etc
I just did this method, but it's super slow, how can i fix that?
Seem to be getting a pretty laggy connection using this GUI method you mentioned at the end. I tried using the lowest quality settings but the response time is very bad :( any ideas on a fix?
It’s very variable for me. To be honest, I treat the GUI as a fallback and try to do everything over SSH instead
Does it work on ipad 2?
Thank you for the video! I have an issue with avahi-autoipd: Package avahi-autoipd is not available but is referred to by another package. Also I can not modify date and time for kali-OS. Thank you in advance
You may need to run `sudo apt update` before being able to install `avahi-autoipd`. You'll also need to make sure you're connected to the Internet.
When you're connected to the Internet if you run `sudo timedatectl set-ntp on` that should set the date and time based on your location.
@@tech_craft thanks a lot
Has anyone resolved the issue with TCP forwarding in jump desktop? I can SSH with blink but when I go to jump it fails to connect and states "Could not create ssh tunnel please make sure tcp forwarding is enabled on the server."
Unable to get my jump to display full screen with correct aspect ratio. It showing top and bottom black bar. I using HDMI dummy as x11vnc won't run headless on my pi5 kali linux.
unfortunately when I try to install the avahi daemon and x11vnc apt fails to find the packages. Perhaps this is because Kali is now on the 2022.3 image rather than the 2022.2 image like shown in the video.
I cant seem to find the 2022.2 raspberry pi image anywhere online at the moment.
If you are having the same problem I was try doing `sudo apt update`. Then you should be able to install the correct packages with apt.
Awesome tutorial!
Unfortunately at the end I seem to get a black screen when connecting to VNC via Jump. Anyone else got the same?
Thanks!
This can happen if HDMI hotplug isn't enabled/working. It's worth double-checking that step and/or restarting to make sure it took effect.
@@tech_craft looks like that did the trick. Thanks again! 🙏
This might be slightly off-topic, but would it be difficult to connect a 'Mac Mini' to the iPad (similiar to connecting a 'Pi' to the iPad)?
The reason I'm thinking of this is that I am a volunteer working in rural Nepal. I use my iPad Air a lot. So, I was thinking of using a 'Mac Mini' at my room where I have power (most of the time) and use the iPad Air as a monitor. Then when away from the room, I would use the iPad Air alone. Bringing a 'Mac Mini' would be easier to carry in my luggage - packing a monitor wouldn't be that easy - that's why I thought of the 'Pi' but since you it doesn't seem like you can buy a 'Pi' any time soon, I was looking for alternatives like the 'Mac Mini'/
I think the best option for this setup is to use something like Sidecar to have the iPad act as a screen for the Mac Mini.
Is there an alternative method for Raspberry Pi 3 by any chance?
Certainly. I show a bunch of non-Pi4 options in this video: ruclips.net/video/cD3JN8BHosI/видео.html
How do you get the files to show when trying to tab complete?
That seemed to work out of the box on Kali for me.
Would this setup work with a new iPad Mini?
Absolutely. Works really well with the USB-C mini.
Hi! Thanks for the video. I followed every step but my usb0 port is down anyway:( And my iPad does not show ethernet connections in the settings. I really want this setup to work, but I can't figure out what could be the reason of an issue
Is usb0 showing up in the list of interfaces?
@@tech_craft yes
@@s314noza same issue, did you ever resolve it?
@@AndresDeMoya no man:( If you figure it out, please let me know how you did it!!!
hi guys, for those who had that issue, i believe you need to plug the ipad on the USB C of the raspberry( and not THE USB 3).Power is provided to the pi by the ipad.
Im having a problem with the tcp forwarding in vnc it say: please make sure tcp forwarding is enabled on the server. Details:
“Channel open failure (connect failed)”. Im not sure what to do
I’m getting the same thing and came to the comments to look for answers
@@Not-Cowboysame for me🥲
Would this work with a Raspberry Pi 3B V1.2 w/ iPad Air 5?
I have a video discussing all the options for different tablets and Pis here: ruclips.net/video/cD3JN8BHosI/видео.html
Hi, I was wondering how long the iPad would last when the Pi is connected to it. Could you test this? I was planning to use this setup at school, but I was unsure about the battery impact, so this is important for me to know. Thank you
It's a little dependent on what else you're running on the iPad and what brightness you have, but you can expect 2-3 hours quite reliably.
You have a few options for powering both the iPad and the Pi at the same time: the Apple Magic Keyboard and a USB-C hub are the main two. I have a video coming up on this topic next week.
Thank you!
I use my raspberry pi 4b to program web things on my m1 iPad pro 12.9. My raspberry pi is 4G ram and with desktop version os. After turning off WLAN and Bluetooth on pi, I can feel some impact on battery life but it´s not significant. I can still use my iPad nonstop for half-day( not always connecting raspberry pi). OS without desktop interface may save more battery life probably.
I think it highly depends on what is running on pi, and which pi you are using. Searching the current of every model raspberry pi in different CPU usage on google can help you calculate the power. I think most of the time it can't be worse than charging a phone on ipad (15w).
Use 3B or 3B+ if you don't need powerful CPU. Turning off some useless io (like HDMI) can also help a bit.
What is the app used to Connect the server and view Kali on iPad? Please let me know !
It’s Jump Desktop.
@@tech_craft sir after running
$ :- sudo systemctl enable vncserver
I’m getting something like this :
The unit file have no installation config, this means they are not meant to be enabled using systemct….
@@tech_craft but the systemctl has Install section 😢 please clear this out for me
Thank you. I am having an error in the final step. When trying to connect via vnc it says: “could not create ssh tunnel. Please make sure tcp forwarding is enabled on the server”… Help
Yess im having the same error im not sure what to do
@@The_Cyber_Punisher I am planning to do all over again. If it works, I will let you know. Make sure to read the blog post.
@Caborusso which blog post?
This is the post I wrote to accompany the video: techcraft.co/videos/2022/5/mobile-kali-ipad-setup-with-raspberry-pi-4/
I haven't redone this setup since shooting the video so it's possible things might have changed. I'll find some time to take another look.
@@tech_craft please and thanks.
Are we downloading and installing from the Ipad?
I haven't found a way to do that yet.
Question. I followed your instructions, but my usb0 does not have an IP address. Anything I should double check on?
Double check that the Pi and iPad are connected and then reboot the Pi. If that's not working but you see usb0 then I'd double check that the /etc/network/interfaces.d/usb0 file is correct.
@@tech_craft I do have a IP address but the PI cannot connect to the internet
Right, understood. In this setup, the Pi does not get Internet connectivity from the iPad. You can connect the Pi to the same WiFi as the iPad or if you have a cellular iPad to the hotspot on that iPad.
Hey Tech Craft,
I followed your steps but get the error "Could not create SSH tunnel" - Please make sure tcp forwarding is enabled on the server. Details: "channel open failure (connection failed)
Got it to work, not sure what i did wrong, but i fixed it by redoing all the steps, format sd card and image Kali again with Rpi imager.. seems to work now
😢 so it broke again when I did an apt upgrade and update so not sure what’s going on
When I try to run the command ”ifconfig usb0” it doesn’t seem to run it as an ethernet interface. What am I doing wrong?
What’s the output of ifconfig? Does it list usb0 as an interface?
Hi, is it works with IPad 1st Gen?
I don't know for certain. If there's a compatible VNC app in the App Store, then you shouldn't have much of a problem.
how does the internet access work? can we do wireless setup?
Sadly no sharing of the Internet connection with the Pi over the USB-C. If your iPad is cellular you can tether the Pi to it.
You can install RaspAp on your Pi for a fully wireless setup but that requires an extra WiFi adapter in the Pi. I haven't used this setup for a few years so I'm not up-to-date on the instructions.
@@tech_craft Appreciate the reply. I saw old video of yours that explains it. but I could not figure it out on RaspAP new interface.
Yeah. That setup is no longer supported by the RaspAp team. I have a mini USB wifi adapter sitting on my desk to try out their supported setup. I'll put out a video on that when I can.
@@tech_craft Truly appreciate.
hello i tried this configuration with m1 ipad pro and raspb pi 4 8gb and sharing the screen with jump is really slow.. following all the stop... this can mean i did something wrong ?
A few options to test:
1. Have you got a good quality USB-C cable?
2. What resolution are you using for the screen? You might try reducing it?
3. What colour depth/quality have you set in Jump? I find that the highest setting is very slow
@@tech_craft 1) I bough the anker usb cable you recommended 2) the resolution same as your since I have 11 inch iPad Pro m1 yes I’m using high but I tried low and the difference is almost none.
When I’m running ssh is working perfectly but when I use jump is so laggy that I can not even use chrome and sometimes after be doing stuff when I open jump I just get a black screen and I have to reboot the raspberry pi because the interface is not working anymore, also I over clock it because I bough a case with a fan to make it run to 2k gz and gpu to 750 and it is still lagging
I'll have an explore with my setup and see if I can reproduce this - nothing immediately comes to mind.
I also have a very tough behavior of the OS. videos on youtube cannot be viewed without stuttering. However, I use an ipad pro 11" 2018 and raspberry pi4 4GB. I will also try it on my ipad pro M1 and a raspberry 400. I also swapped the usb c cable and didn't feel any improvement. The SD card is a sandisk 32GB extreme .
Do you have another idea? it's not fun to work with. Many Thanks
I have checked the 12,9" M1 iPad with Pi400 with same result. The Pi400 connected to the display is working fine. after setting up and connecting to the iPad the system does not work smoothly. It would be good to know what else to test. thank you in advance
I am getting an error when I try to launch VNC from jumpdesktop “please make sure tcp forwarding is enabled on the server. Details (channel open failure, connection failed)”. I also tried to manually run x11vnc with the commands specified in the van server.service file and got this message

there comes an error message saying something about tcp fowarding "channel open failure (connect faied)" when using jump desktop to get into the raspi
Do the logs for VNC say anything? This sounds like the VNC server crashed.

didnt start properly for some reason

What’s was the solution? Ssh tunnel
@@nunomedia just had to restart the VNC Server on the raspi i think

can you do a video using Samsung S8 tablet?
it seems like android offers a far superior OS which let's you use application such as termux to run various Linux related tools written in bash or python without the need for a rasp... also you can use Google rdp client to connect to a laptop to do some heavy lifting around windows or even ssh to a cloud machine costing around 6-15 dollars a month.
I took my S8 away for a week of work just last week. Video report coming soon!
@@tech_craft I would be interested to know if the setup on this video is possible using a raspberry with a Samsung Tablet (S8 e.g.). Another question... is it possible to share the wi-fi/4G connection of the tablet with the raspberry? Thanks in advance.
I have an issue with the last step. When trying to connect via ssh I have an error message "Channel open failure (connect failed)3" - PROBLEM SOLVED, SEE BELOW.
OK. There is an error on your website guide to activate vncserver. You wrote sudo systemd start vncserver && sudo systemd enable vncserver instead of systemctl.
Will fix that right away! Good spot
Got the same error, used systemclt but still the issue.
I keep getting stuck at avahi step and I have internet and still it doesn’t work.
Do you get any error messages?
Run „sudo apt-get update“ first, had the same problem
i cant get it to work with vnc veiwer
Does VNC viewer support opening an SSH tunnel?
I managed to make it work
Why not just live boot into a surface pro? Or install it onto a SSD, the SSD’s are very easy to swap in and out, wouldn’t a Surface Pro give better software and peripheral compatibility using Windows plus direct linux installation? Plus later when Apple no longer updates the iPad making it virtually useless you can still use a light linux distro on your old surface and use it as a netbook? 🤔
I did try that for a while, but this was just about the time that WSL2 was still in beta and Linux support for the SP wasn't there yet. I keep meaning to revisit this now that the linux-surface project seems to really be moving.
the link to the website article is returning a 404
Yes. Same for me
