What is DietPi-Automation?
DietPi automation allows users to fully automate the whole installation process, and, automatically install optimised software from the DietPi-Software catalog.
Full list of software index's available for install: #p9344

We have also added features like:

• Pre-configure networking (WiFi/Static IP etc)
• Download and execute custom script during installation.
• Auto mounting Samba/FTP client shares

All the automation options are available in the dietpi.txt file on the 1st partition of the DietPi images.

Download image and edit the automation file:

• Download the latest DietPi image: https://dietpi.com/#download
• Write the DietPi image to your SDcard
• Edit the file /boot/dietpi.txt to your needs
• When you are finished:
  • Save changes, eject SD card and place into SBC device
  • Power on, watch the magic

Example: Pre-configure for WiFi:

• Change AUTO_SETUP_NET_WIFI_ENABLED=1 to enable WiFi.
• Enter your WiFi credentials: in the following file /boot/dietpi-wifi.txt. Use lines containing [0] to add your primary WiFi account. You can add multiple WiFi accounts using [1] to [4].
• NB: If the above file does not exist, use the older system in dietpi.txt: Change AUTO_SETUP_NET_WIFI_SSID= and AUTO_SETUP_NET_WIFI_KEY= accordingly.

Example: Configure and run a completely automated installation:

• Change AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 to enable automated installation with no user inputs.
• Find software ID's you want to install, run dietpi-software list
• Add those entries in, eg: AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=44 will install Transmission.

DietPi-Automation will create a log file, containing details of the process, in the following location:

• Use the ID with AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID= to have it automatically installed during 1st run, e.g.:

  Code: Select all

  AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=114

  to install Nextcloud automatically on first login.

NB: DietPi automatically installs all required pre-reqs for each software title. Therefore, there is no need to manually select requirements for install, e.g. ALSA will be installed automatically with media players, a web server stack (web server + PHP + database server) will be installed automatically with web UI applications like Nextcloud.
