Creating a custom armbian image - pretty simple process with wifi working during the first boot!

[thiago]

Hey everyone, I want to share something pretty simple that I was working on: a way to customize the official image, maybe it's not the best way of doing it, but it worked for my needs.

https://github.com/thiagosanches/yet-another-armbian-bakery/

 

The main goal is:

• WIFI up at the first boot.
• Make some small adjustments on SSH configuration.
• Change root password.
• Add a pi user.
• Add a public key so I can connect orange pi through and manage it through ansible (important topic).

 

Any thoughts? It ain't much but it's a honest work!

I read your github readme, but I am not 100% that you read the instructions for armbian's first run script:

 

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/armbian_first_run.txt.template

 

Try following that, and maybe the SSH problems will not be an issue with Debian, even if they are an issue with Raspbian.

I tried the "armbian first run.txt" yesterday and didn't work

Hey @robertoj thank you for your reply.

 

Honestly, I haven't had a chance to read the "armbian first run.txt" document yet. I assumed that since I've already found a successful 'technique' for another board, I could apply the same approach and share it with the community.

Oh no, I just remembered that I already tried that approach. I configured those variables with my country code as a prefix (XX_net_wifi_ssid), but unfortunately, it didn't work out for me either. Maybe I missed something...
