Armbian Image Config Tool - Ver. 0.3

Tool to pre-configure basic system settings on Armbian images. Each module can be used independently on an image but using the same module twice will overwrite not combine any changes. This tool needs superuser permissions to mount and write to system files on disk images, you will need to run it with sudo or in a root shell

Simple Usage

sudo armbian-image-config armbian-image.img module [options]

modules:
    n|hostname [mynewhostname]
    e|ethernet [dhcp|static] [ipaddr mask] [gw] [dns] [search]
    w|wifi [dhcp|static] ssid key [ipaddr mask] [gw] [dns] [search]
    u|user [uusername] [password]
    l|log2ram [enabled|disabled]
    r|remote [ssh|xrdp] [enabled|disabled]
    t|template [package|template.tgz]
    x|rootshell
    h|help

Creating templates

To create a config template, consisting of the config of 1 or more modules, use the keyword "template" instead of an image file name. This will populate the "tmproot" folder with the generated config files ready for packaging. To create a package use the command "armbian-image-config template package" and a config packaged named aic-template.tgz will be created

armbian-image-config template n tvbox
armbian-image-config template w d MyWiFi wpa-psk MySecret
armbian-image-config template package
