picture-frame-setup

What is this for?

This automates the setup for the client end of a raspberry pi powered, network/cloud enabled picture frame/dashboard. This will setup a raspberry pi from Buster Lite image, install all necessary software and perform most necessary configurations, and then download a few management scripts to be setup in cron.

How to install this?

to use the script (and ignore the whole pipe to root shell dangers): Get the raspberry pi online, either by ethernet or wifi (https://desertbot.io/blog/headless-raspberry-pi-3-bplus-ssh-wifi-setup), login to the console and type the following:

curl -sSL https://git.io/JemY8 > frame-setup.sh && bash frame-setup.sh 

for those with US keyboards and having a hard time typing in the pipe initially, do this first

raspi-config nonint do_configure_keyboard us

alternatively, download the script, make sure the script is complete, then run it

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meanderer-tech/picture-frame-setup/master/frame-setup.sh
sudo chmod +x frame-setup.sh
sudo ./frame-setup.sh

Notes

This requires major rehaul, and will come up soon
