configure-raspberry-pi

Interactive script for configuring a Raspberry Pi boot partition

Functionality

The following options can be configured:

• WiFi
• SSH

This initial functionality comes from a personal need; I expect to add more over time, and willingly accept pull requests.

Installation

Simply clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:jbmorley/configure-raspberry-pi.git

You can optionally add it to the path for convenience:

export PATH=$PATH:~/path/to/configure-raspberry-pi

Usage

Run the following command, and answer the various commands:

configure-rasbperry-pi

The script currently expects to be run on macOS and assumes your Raspberry Pi boot partition will be mounted at /Volumes/boot. If you're using a different location, or operating system, you can specify this by passing the --root flag. For example,

configure-raspberry-pi --boot /mnt/boot

Alternatives

The Raspberry Pi Imager has support for configuring both WiFi and SSH (along with a host of other options), making it a better solution in many scenarios. These can be accessed by pressing 'Ctrl + Shift + X'.

There are doubtless also many other alternatives out there. If you're looking for something significantly more comprehensive, I encourage you to take a look at PiBakery.
