Hi,
I would like to list a few improvements which in my opinion will make DietPi even better.
Please keep in mind that i am using DietPi with an old Raspberry Pi 1. RPi B (armv6l) to be precise.
Automation File:
-
HDMI Screen Resoluton should be adjustable in the Automation File. 1280x720 is the default but 1366x768 is the world’s most used resolution according to W3C and i personally use a 1080p monitor.
-
PiHole should be listed there specifically as it is the most widely installed DietPi Software. As of now the id must be looked up and then entered.
First Boot: -
rpi-update should be run automatically during the initial setup AND also during each dietpi-update to keep the Pi Firmware updated.
PiHole:
I use my Pi headless and always use the Automation File to setup a static IP before initial boot.
-After selecting PiHole in dietpi-software the initial whiptail menu telling you to setup a static IP should not display if you are already on a static IP.
-DietPi is known for making your life easier as so many things are automated and optimized so there should be a cool dietpi way of updating a PiHole installation. As of now except for the PiHole Core only a unistall and reinstall of PiHole updates the Webinterface. This is not good if you have setup PiHole in a specific manner in the PiHole Settings or Black/Whitelisted stuff.
-PiHole should be updated automatically during each dietpi-update.
DietPiCam:
It’s been a long time. Please update to match the offical RPi Cam Web Interface version 6.2.29
These were just my 2 Cents.
Thank You for reading and DietPi is by far the best thing that could have happened to Raspberry Pi and all the other supported SBCs. I have been using it since 2015 and have never felt the need to go back to Raspbian. Keep the good work up.
Best Regards.
