We are proud to present you a new, completely refactored version of main system config utility.

 

Key Advantages:

 

• flexible menu structure: supports JSON, TUI, CLI, and API interfaces.
• extremely Lightweight: minimal dependencies for optimal performance.
• redesigned from scratch: a fresh approach to configuration.

 

Features:

 

• system Configuration: Automate system-level settings, including hardware configuration and performance tuning.
• network Management: Manage network settings such as IP configuration, Wi-Fi, and other connectivity options.
• localization Settings: Configure time zone, language, and other localization preferences.
• software Installation/Uninstallation: Simplify software management, including installing or removing packages as needed.

 

Armbian config has been with us since early days but its initial design was unable to keep up so we decided to re-make it while keeping features, adding new. With a new design our focus went into highly improved maintainability and scalability.

 

The mission stays unchanged - to provide you an easy way to configure your OS. It allows us to ship a very small image, which you are able to extend with a help of this tool. It also allows you to install software in best possible ways.

Armbian config is a configuration utility for customising and automating tasks within Armbian environments. These scripts help streamline setup processes for various configurations and use cases. It helps end-user to setup their network, ssh, configure hardware features and provides simple install and uninstall methods for your software packages. 

 

This tool has clean and verified code with focus in security and ability for long term maintenance. It allows quick and easy user level functional expansion. For this reason we setup several automated tools that checks the code from various perspective at the development phase. Most of features are automatically testes with on Debian and Ubuntu based Armbian user-space. Even this tool was designed for Armbian and will be supported on Armbian OS only, and works best with it, you can use it on any APT based Linux operating system.
