Raspberry Pi OS Lite (headless) WiFi and SSH setup script for OS images freshly flashed to SD card

⏱ It saves you 3 minutes of precious time

This simple bash script helps with the process of setting up WiFi connectivity and enabling SSH at boot time for headless installs of Raspberry Pi OS Lite.

👉 You can download Raspberry Pi OS Lite here. Just make sure you select the current release and then download extract the .zip archive to get the OS image .iso file you can then install to your SD card.

⚠ This script is supposed to be run on a desktop computer (not on the Pi) with the freshly flashed Raspberry Pi OS SD card inserted and mounted.

> Raspberry Pi OS Lite (headless) WiFi and SSH setup script

Enter path to SD card 'boot' partition [/media/username/boot]: 
Enter WiFi name (SSID): My-Fancy-WiFi-Name
Enter WiFi passphrase: 
Enter WiFi key management mode [WPA-PSK]: 
Enter WiFi country code [US]: DE

> Writing /media/username/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf ...
> OK
> Writing /media/username/boot/ssh ...
> OK
> Done. Raspberry Pi OS Lite will boot with WiFi configured and SSH enabled.

🤔 Note to myself and potential contributors: It would be nice to extend this script to also take the path to the .iso image file and do to flashing of the SD card at the beginning of the process. It could even do an optional sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get updgrade -y.
