Hi,

Before I start, I want to thank the developers for making great products. I am fairly new to SBCs, but unlike the official images, Armbian works great on my OP plus 2E.

 

I have recently bough a OP zero+ H5, but as it lacks ethernet, I can't set it up. Is there a way (like raspbian) to set up wifi on the sd card after i burn the image on to it?

What? Is it broken? Last time I was playing with this feature it was working. At least on recent images made from the development branch.

It is totally broken:

  • Unsafe temp file handling
  • Incompatible to Armbian's recommended way to setup Wi-Fi (nmtui/nmcli)
  • It stores the Wi-Fi credentials in cleartext in a world readable file

It's a mystery to me why you ever accepted this code as PR, we agreed on deleting it already (now that DietPi doesn't use Armbian as 'pre-image' any more) and now you start to recommend this stuff to users?

 

Only sane way would be to allow to create a NM profile only readable by root below /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ -- since this does not exist users either need to use serial console (easy on OPi Zero since available through Micro USB) or keyboard/display.

Perhaps true on current images.

The case is I reworked and it should work on self-made images via Network manager.  Security wise we could improve, sure.

A lot of decisions are based on trust since they require less mental energy. I have been fooled and made a mistake. Since we have moved to development branch and this is reworked there, there is no need to revert the PR now. Or is?

Well, that might be already too complex for many people ... while passwords are plain text in the profile.
