rpi config tool for the command line #118

Open bugmaschine opened 5 years ago

Would it be possible to have the rpi config tool for the command line

sakaki- commented 4 years ago

It would be possible, but it is really just a way of manipulating /boot/config.txt for the most part, and people comfortable with using the CLI (and/or the 'lite' version of the image) are also (in my experience) generally happier (and certainly capable) of editing this by hand.

I'll mark this as an enhancement / help wanted for now, as someone may be willing to jump in here and it'd be a nice orthogonal project to add into the image.

Just saw this, it would be nice if we had an "easy" way to setup the wireless network from the command line. Would this be possible? (Or did you add a networking tutorial I missed?) Similar to what you can do in the regular rpi-config.

Hi @JJTech0130

nmtui is bundled (even with the lite image) and this tool makes it relatively straightforward to set up WiFi networking from the command line.

Happy to add a tutorial for this tool if you think it'd be useful?

best, sakaki

Thanks, I didn't know about this tool! (I just got started with gento :smile: ) It would probably be helpful if you make a mini-tutorial for the CLI as I am trying to spped up my server by using 64bit, and I don't know much about gentoo. (I cant use the gui cuz its a server & the network setup in the GUI only starts with the GUI anyways)

30 Oct 2020: sadly, due legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and since the images may be of use still in certain applications); however, there will be no further updates to the underlying binhost etc., nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.

For further details, please see my post here.

Many thanks for your interest in this project!

With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
