rpicustomiser

Release version 1.0.2

Description

rpicustomiser is a useful tool for customising Rasbian. Chroot, install deb packages, copy files, customise.
rpicustomiser can act as a really useful workflow tool for setting up to deploying (a) Raspberry Pi(s) with custom settings, installed apps, etc.

Features

• Copy files to Raspbian rootfs and/or boot.
• Install deb packages to Raspbian target.
• Chroot into Raspbian target.

Configuration

If your SD which automounts doesn't show up in rpicustomiser, don't freak out.
Use the config menu (which will be suggested if an SD card mounted is not detected) for these options.

• General mount point location (/media/$USER is typical on GNU/Linux distros)
• boot partition mount name
• rootfs partiton mount name

Notes

• This has been tested on GNU/Linux distributions: Debian (9.x), Raspbian (9.x), Ubuntu (16.04, 17.10, 18.04). More support coming soon.

Use case ideas

• Setting up one Raspbian install for imaging.
• Installing deb packages onto an install of Raspbian without having a working Raspberry Pi or internet available to a Raspberry Pi.
• Building a debian package requires 'build-essential' and 'devscripts'.
• Main repository is on GitLab. There is a GitHub mirror.
