rahlquist Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Hello, So is anyone aware of a way (like a text file)to populate with values etc to bypass the need to be interactive during first boot? Since this device is displayless and I hate to pop the case every time to hookup the console cable when setting up a half dozen devices. I imagine I could alter the first boot script, but was just wondering if there was another way. Thanks! Richard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahlquist Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 LOL I guess I should have dove into the file system. Found the /boot/armbian_first_run.txt.template thats a start. Teach me to be lazy for a change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahlquist Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 Ok so the first run template above works if you need to do wifi etc. In my case the easy fix was to find the default images root password. So on a fresh image, I boot the device, watch it get an IP via DHCP and then login using the default root password and it lets me enter the information in the first launch script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
