Add prompt to create web workflow .env file #55

Closed RetiredWizard closed 1 year ago

RetiredWizard commented 1 year ago

Just thought I'd throw this out there, creating a .env file on boards that support WiFi allows you to access the contents of the microcontroller board without having to go into "devmode". There's also the added benefit of accessing the ljinux console over the Web Workflow serial terminal.

The .env file can obviously be added onto the board before or after the ljinux install but I thought it might be convenient to have it created during the install. This does add an input prompt to the install process which you may not be interested in doing.

I hadn't had the time to even touch the wifi module on my esp32 board.. I have never seen the web ui. I will need a bit of time with this one.

We don't have to buzz the install proccess with that, I will soon make iwd & iwctl for ljinux. With those ljinux will be by itself capable of testing that and creating the .env

also the .env is part of circuitpython 8.x it will not be implemented until its officially released
