v8.22
(2023-09-23)
New software:
- ADS-B Feeder | Track airplanes using SDRs and feed the data to ADS-B aggregators. Many thanks to @dirkhh for maintaining and implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6587
- Kavita | This open source comics/mangas/ebooks media server with a built-in web reader has been added to our software catalogue. Many thanks to @drahen for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6610
Enhancements:
- Images | DietPi images are now shipped with a trailing FAT partition which contains dietpi.txt and other config files for easier pre-configuration and automation from Windows and macOS hosts. The partition is removed automatically on first boot, after copying all supported config files/scripts. Related CLI flags have been added to our build scripts: "--add-fat-part" for dietpi-imager and "--no-fat-part" for dietpi-build. Many thanks to @dirkhh for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6602
- Images | All our images are now compressed via xz instead of 7z. These are a little easier to handle, especially on Linux hosts, and many flashing utilities allow to flash zx-compressed images directly to disk, without the need to manually decompress them first. As xz compresses files and no directories, the dedicated README.md and hash text files are not included anymore. The hashes for integrity checks within an archive have no real purpose, as the compression algorithms imply hashes internally (CRC64 in case of xz), which are checked and integrity of the content assured as part of the decompression.
- Images | SHA256 hashes and GPG signatures are now provided for all our images, linked from our download page or found here: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/. Our public GPG keyring can be found at https://github.com/MichaIng.gpg.
- Images | Most of our images, those with do not ship with a very old Linux version, have no entropy daemon pre-installed anymore. Either rngd or haveged were required previously to assure that the system entropy pool remained sufficiently filled, otherwise boot, service starts, cryptography tasks or anything using random character from /dev/random could have hung. Recent Linux versions however fill the entropy pool from hardware random generators sufficiently by themselves, and have a HAVEGE-like fallback as well if no hardware random generator is available.
- DietPi-CloudShell | The date/time output format at the top of every 3rd scene is now localised.
- DietPi-Software | Docker: Enabled for Trixie and RISC-V via "docker.io" package from Debian repository.
- DietPi-Software | Portainer: Enabled for RISC-V as Docker is now supported on RISC-V as well.
Bug fixes:
- NanoPi R4S | Resolved a v8.21 regression where the Ethernet LEDs did not react correctly after the kernel upgrade. Many thanks to @idaanx for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6342#issuecomment-1697669420
- Orange Pi 5 | Resolved a v8.21 regression where the update may have lead to an unbootable system or caused other issues like missing HDMI output, because of a falsely set device tree file name.
- Odroid C1 | Resolved an issue where the latest kernel upgrade broke boot of the Odroid C1. We do now pin, in case downgrade, and set on hold "current" and "edge" kernel packages of Armbian to v23.02.2 (Linux 5.15.93 respectively 6.1.11) with this DietPi update, which are the latest known functional packages for this SBC. Many thanks to @oskar242000 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/odroid-c1-not-booting-after-kernel-upgrade/17818
- Bookworm | Resolved an issue where poweroff/reboot/halt commands did throw errors about missing dbus or logind. DietPi ships without dbus and with logind masked by default, as we do not see their features being used on a typical DietPi system. Instead, dbus is installed and logind unmasked on demand on certain software installs or when chosen via dietpi.txt. However, the newer systemd version since Bookworm attempts dbus > logind communication in any case when calling poweroff/reboot/halt, despite no wall message being sent, e.g. to handle shutdown inhibitors (like open SSH session being able to prevent shutdown), and throws errors if either dbus is not reachable or logind not running. Until in case dbus or logind are further tied into common system commands or features, we solved the issue by creating shell functions for poweroff/reboot/halt which call the respective systemd target directly to bypass logind (and hence dbus), but fall back to the original commands, depending on given command-line parameters.
- dietpi-bookworm-upgrade | Resolved an issue on systems with Armbian repository, where the system was still identified as Bullseye after the distribution upgrade to Bookworm. Reason was Armbian's base-files package, which was not upgraded as intended. On all DietPi systems, the original base-files package from Debian will now be enforced to prevent this and similar issues. Many thanks to @rogerthn2019 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6227#issuecomment-1713688577
- DietPi-Config | The menu option to update the SPI bootloader is now shown on Orange Pi 5 Plus as well, as intended. Many thanks for @zappydood for reporting its absence: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6501#issuecomment-1697175109
- DietPi-Software | Ampache: Resolved an issue where the latest version was not successfully detected on install, so that an older fallback version was installed instead. Many thanks to @bartolus39 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6598
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on ARMv6 and ARMv7 Bullseye and Bookworm systems, since some pre-compiled Python modules are currently not available on piwheels, due to the currently running prioritised builds of all modules for Bookworm.
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6626
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.21
(2023-08-26)
New images:
- Orange Pi 5 Plus | Support for the Orange Pi 5 Plus SBC has been added to DietPi with hardware ID 82. Images will be provided on our download page: https://dietpi.com/#download
Enhancements:
- Orange Pi 5/ROCK 5B | An update of the kernel to Linux 5.10.160 will be applied automatically as part of the DietPi update.
- Orange Pi 5 | An update of the U-Boot package will be applied. When flashing it to SPI via dietpi-config > Advanced Options > Update SPI bootloader, it enables booting DietPi via NVMe and USB.
- RK33xx SBCs | All SBCs with RK33xx SoC and Armbian's "linux-image-current-rockchip64" kernel package will receive a major kernel upgrade to Linux 6.1.46, including lots of fixes and enhancements that have been applied upstream and by Armbian in the meantime. Since Armbian's APT repository has not seen any update since February 2023, we started compiling and hosting own builds. An own APT repository is being worked on to better distribute our own package builds. Until then, headers for this kernel package can be downloaded at: https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/linux-headers-current-rockchip64.deb
- DietPi-Config | WiFi Hotspot: When applying settings, manually changed IP addresses in /etc/network/interfaces will now be preserved. Additionally, it is now assured that changing interface names, e.g. due to an additionally attached WiFi adapter, are now aligned across /etc/network/interfaces, hostapd and DHCP server configs.
- DietPi-Config | WiFi Hotspot: Toggles for enabling 802.11ac/WiFi 5, 802.11ax/WiFi 6 (Bookworm only) and 5 GHz WiFi respectively have been added to the menu.
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: We added new dietpi.txt settings "SOFTWARE_WIFI_HOTSPOT_WIFI4", "SOFTWARE_WIFI_HOTSPOT_WIFI5", "SOFTWARE_WIFI_HOTSPOT_WIFI6" and "SOFTWARE_WIFI_HOTSPOT_5G" to have 802.11n/WiFi 4, 802.11ac/WiFi 5, 802.11ax/WiFi 6 (Bookworm only) and 5 GHz support respectively enabled on install.
Bug fixes:
- DietPi-Globals | G_GET_NET: Resolved an issue where the default route was not detected correctly if learned via OSPF or other routing protocols which change the output field numbers of the "ip route" command. Many thanks to @owendelong for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6561
- DietPi-Installer | Resolved an issue where building images for ARMv7 hardware was not possible on a ARMv8 host. Offered/accepted ARM hardware IDs are now based on the userland/OS architecture of the image instead of the CPU/kernel architecture returned via "uname -m". Many thanks to @dirkhh for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/discussions/6541
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where zram swap space was not enabled automatically on boot due to missing syscall permissions, and the swappiness was not changed as intended. Many thanks to @magicfoxt-magicfox for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6511
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Resolved a v8.20 regression where Lighttpd did not start after applying or renewing the certificate due to a syntax error. Many thanks to @JappeHallunken for fixing this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6517
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where /etc/network/interfaces was created with missing key values if lines were previously manually removed. Defaults are now applied in this case. Many thanks to @huettenwirt for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/ifup-error-due-to-faulty-etc-network-interfaces/17605
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where the DHCP server failed to start after applying WiFi hotspot settings.
- DietPi-Software | TasmoAdmin: Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems with Nginx and Lighttpd webserver where login and logout did not work anymore as the rewrite directives pointed to a file which does not exist anymore since TasmoAdmin v3. Many thanks to @TBirth for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/tasmoadmin-not-found-after-visiting-login-page/17632
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6580

- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: The default DHCP server settings have been cleaned up and enhanced, with the default lease time increased from 10 minutes to 12 hours, the max lease time increased from 2 hours to 1 day, and the IP range extended up to 192.168.42.250.
- DietPi-Software | Apache/ownCloud/Pi-hole: The X-XSS-Protection header is now set to "0" in default configs to match recent security recommendations. This change is also applied to all systems on next DietPi update. Many thanks to @Zer0x00 for implementing this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6491
Bug fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue where the automated first run setup could have failed as images were shipped with cron enabled, which could have led to concurrent APT executions. cron is now disabled first and enabled after first run setup has finished. Many thanks to @Timoses for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/during-initial-boot-could-not-get-lock-var-lib-apt-lists-lock/17385
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where FFmpeg and related A/V libraries and development headers could not be installed, since the raised epoch version of those from the Raspberry Pi repository is leading to conflicts with the newer ones from the Debian Bookworm repository.
- Odroid N2 | Resolved an issue where in rare cases the hardware random generator daemon failed because the kernel driver was loaded too late. Many thanks to @Zer0x00 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6483

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.19
(2023-07-01)
New images:
- NanoPC T6 | Our NanoPi R6S/R6C image runs as well on the new NanoPC T6. After some polishing, we merged the hardware IDs to be identified and named as "NanoPi 6 series".
New software:
- MediaWiki | The collaboration and documentation platform which was developed for and is used by Wikipedia has been added to our software catalogue.
Removed software:
- Spotify Connect Web | Development of this Spotify player stalled already in 2018, the underlying library has been deprecated even before that time. The process fails on Debian Bookworm and we have the functional alternatives Raspotify and Spotifyd: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6418. If you need to uninstall this software title after the DietPi update, have a look here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6427
- Firefox Sync Server | As much as we like the browser and the idea of self-hosting its data sync, it stopped working already on Debian Bullseye, as it requires Python 2, which is EOL since 2020. Work has started on a new token server (one component of the whole stack) written in Rust, but it has been archived again. A sync storage server written in Rust exists, however, we are not able to compose a whole stack in Rust, respectively one that natively runs on modern OS versions. If someone is able to get a whole Firefox Sync Server up without Python 2, we would love to re-add it to our software catalogue. If you need to uninstall this software title after the DietPi update, have a look here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6427
Enhancements:
- General | Initial detection and support for Debian 13 Trixie (the new "testing" version) has been added to DietPi. Everyone is invited to upgrade to Trixie to stay on bleeding edge. Just note that due to continued breaking changes coming with package upgrades, some features and software installs may break at any time. We are happy to receive your bug report then, to have necessary changes implemented in DietPi as fast as breaking changes in Trixie happen, until it becomes the new stable Debian release, expected in summer 2025.
- DietPi-Software | microblog.pub: On fresh installs and reinstalls, the pyenv Python version will be raised to 3.11.4, matching the version of the official Docker container.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: The pyenv Python version has been updated to 3.11.4 to maintain compatibility with Home Assistant and align with Home Assistant OS and containers. Many thanks to @whyisthisbroken and others for informing us about this: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/home-assistant-finally-integrates-python-3-11/17033
- DietPi-Software | ympd: We migrated to own DEB packages based on SuperBFG7's ympd fork and enabled the installation option on Debian Bookworm and RISC-V systems. The update will be automatically applied for existing ympd installs as part of the DietPi update.
Bug fixes:
- Quartz64 | Resolved an issue where some iptables/nftables features did not work as of missing kernel features. Many thanks to @acelinkio for reporting the issue and pointing us at the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6389
- Allwinner H3 SBCs | The analogue 3.5mm audio jack can now be enabled as intended via dietpi-config audio options. As it is done via kernel device tree overlay, a reboot is required when switching to or from analogue audio. Many thanks to @eurya and others for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6093
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Resolved an issue on Bookworm ARMv6/7 systems where the install failed because of missing dependencies.
- DietPi-Software | microblog.pub: Resolved an issue where the install failed on x86_64 due to a missing new build dependency.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Since compiling the ha-av Python module for latest Home Assistant requires more recent FFmpeg libraries than provided on Debian Bullseye, sadly it now requires at least Debian Bookworm to install Home Assistant on ARMv6, ARMv7 and RISC-V hardware. Existing Home Assistant instances will remain functional, but on affected systems one cannot update/reinstall it until upgrading to Debian Bookworm: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unable-to-install-package-ha-av/466286/39, https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=3128
- DietPi-Software | Java JRE: Worked around an issue on Bullseye systems where the JRE package install fails with an error which is gone when just retrying it.

v8.18
(2023-06-03)
Enhancements:
- Quartz64 | Enabled (software) RAID and LVM support. Many thanks to @dano6 for implementing this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6370
- DietPi-Software | youtube-dl: Since the development of the original youtube-dl project stalled for some years, we migrated to the well known actively developed fork "yt-dlp": https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp. If you installed youtube-dl before, you can migrate via reinstall: "dietpi-software reinstall 195". For backwards compatibility, the "youtube-dl" command will stay valid as a symlink to "yt-dlp", but there are some differences you should be aware about when doing the migration on your system: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#differences-in-default-behavior. Many thanks to @rgabbo for suggestion and @pulpe for implementing this change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/discussions/5670, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6380
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: With recent release, Pi-hole supports RISC-V and has been hence enabled for this architecture as well in DietPi. Many thanks to the Pi-hole team for making this possible to quickly!
Bug fixes:
- DietPi-DDNS | Resolved an issue where the IP sync failed because the API URL changed recently. Many thanks to @ma651851384 for implementing the update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6375
- DietPi-Software | Restic: Resolved an issue where Restic was installed without executable flag. Many thanks to @lima1 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6350#issuecomment-1537656560
- DietPi-Software | Domoticz: Resolved an issue where the installation failed when trying to unpack the tarball. Many thanks to @mcnahum for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6369
- DietPi-Software | Domoticz: Resolved an issue where the service start failed because the new version of Domoticz depends on the GnuTLS variant of libcurl instead of the OpenSSL one. Many thanks to @IgrekLg for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6404
- DietPi-Software | motionEye: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on ARMv6, ARMv7 and RISC-V Bookworm systems due to missing build dependencies. Many thanks to @magicfoxt-magicfox for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6333
- DietPi-Software | LXQt: Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where the install failed since configs were missing.
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC: Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where the VNC password was not set as expected since the tigervncpasswd command became a dedicated DEB package "tigervnc-tools".
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where the install failed when trying to alter the service user.
- DietPi-Software | Mosquitto: Resolved an issue on Bookworm systems where the install failed. The official APT repository does not provide a Bookworm suite yet, and the Bullseye packages have Bullseye-only dependencies. On Bookworm the Debian repo packages will be installed instead now.
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6406
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.17
(2023-05-06)
New software:
- openHAB | This long requested vendor and technology agnostic FLOSS home automation software has been finally added to DietPi. Many thanks to @just-jason and many others for requesting it and @MDAR for providing install instructions and valuable information: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3857
- Moonlight (CLI) | This CLI game streaming client for Sunshine and NVIDIA GameStream has been added to our software catalogue. Many thanks to @mtekman for implementing it: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6303
- Moonlight (GUI) | This GUI game streaming client for Sunshine and NVIDIA GameStream has been added to our software catalogue. Many thanks to @mtekman for implementing it: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6339
- Restic | This fast, efficient and secure command-line backup program has been added to our software catalogue. Compared to the package available via APT, it is always the latest version. Many thanks to @goldfix for implementing it: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6350
Enhancements:
- NanoPi R series | Updated udev rules for the Ethernet LEDs to not lid the LEDs of disabled Ethernet devices. If an Ethernet device has been detected by the kernel/udev already and an LED is configured to light on link (connected cable), it lights until the interface is set up and no link is detected. So for disabled interfaces, some LEDs remained lit. The udev rules have now been changed to quickly set up and down the interfaces for the LEDs to remain off until an interface has been successfully configured.
- NanoPi R6S | Since our image runs fine on NanoPi R6C as well, the device name in DietPi is now shown as "NanoPi R6S/R6C" to indicate this fact.
- ROCK Pi 4 | We followed Radxa and renamed the device to "ROCK 4", i.e. removed the "Pi" from its name.
- DietPi-Banner | Added a new option to show the Let's Encrypt certificate status (expiry date), when installed via dietpi-letsencrypt or Certbot. Many thanks to @gary2002 for implementing this option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6314
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | HTTP/2 is now enabled OOTB on Nginx when enabling HTTPS via dietpi-letsencrypt. Many thanks to @Isti6github for bringing up this topic: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/nextcloud-memories-http-2-or-http-3-is-strongly-recommended-http-1-1-detected-nginx/16753
- DietPi-Software | MinIO: On fresh installs, the S3 API port will be 9004 from now on, to resolve a port conflict with Logitech Media Server. Furthermore the web access port (aka console port) will be set to 9001, as otherwise it will be randomly applied from a high port range, making reverse proxy and container setups impossible. Many thanks to @din14970 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/configuring-https-for-minio-through-nginx/16775
- DietPi-Software | Snapcast: The server and client install options have been enabled on ARMv8 and RISC-V, using the older but functional packages from the Debian repository.
Bug fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue where our recent images had the cron service masked accidentally after first run setup. Many thanks to @Johannes for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/cron-service-is-masked/16544
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue where enabling the 3.5mm analogue onboard audio jack did not work if a HDMI device was attached, since due to a change with Linux 6.1 HDMI audio was not disabled correctly. Many thanks to @Gale for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/no-audio-from-rpi-4b-headphone-jack/16538
- Quartz64 | Resolved an issue where the kernel failed to load the WiFi regulatory database since the cfg80211 module was builtin and hence loaded before the rootfs was mounted.
- DietPi-Globals | Resolved a DietPi v8.16 regression where wrong CPU temperatures were shown on some devices. Many thanks to @duledxb for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6315
- DietPi-Config | Audio: 'firmware-sof-signed' required for functionality on some Intel devices, is now installed when selecting 'intel-sst-dsp': https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6281#issuecomment-1500990841
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where it was possible to install software titles via AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID dietpi.txt entries on unsupported platforms.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where to installation on 32-bit ARM systems failed since Python cryptography source builds do now require pky-config. Many thanks to @retrofame for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/unable-to-upgrade-home-assistant-to-2021-10-x/5823/7
- DietPi-Software | HTPC Manager/Synapse: Resolved an issue where to installation on 32-bit ARM Bookworm systems failed since Python cryptography source builds do now require pky-config.
- DietPi-Software | microblog.pub: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on 32-bit ARM devices since a Rust compiler is required for the cryptography Python module build. Many thanks to @kinoushe for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6304
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant/HTPC Manager/microblog-pub/Synapse: Resolved an issue where the install on RPi 4 with 32-bit image failed since rustup/cargo tried to compile for 64-bit. The issue occurred since the 64-bit kernel is used on RPi 4 by default since Linux 6.1, even if the OS/userland is 32-bit. Many thanks to @josh3003 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6306
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on 32-bit ARM systems due to newly required C++ compiler and FFmpeg libraries for compiling all required Python modules.
- DietPi-Software | Google AIY: Resolved an issue where the install failed on ARMv7 systems due to conflicting Python module dependencies.
- DietPi-Software | UrBackup: Resolved an issue where the installation failed since the use "latest" directory has been removed the download server. Many thanks to @mikeruss1 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/404-on-trying-to-install-urbackup/16744
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Resolved an issue where the service start failed on Buster systems since SABnzbd v4 does not support Python 3.7 anymore. The latest SABnzbd v3 is now installed instead on Buster systems. Many thanks to @githubchonger for reporting this issue: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/2545
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Resolved an issue where the install failed on RISC-V and ARMv6/7 Bookworm systems due to missing dependencies for Python module builds.
- DietPi-Software | UnRAR: Resolved an issue where the install failed on RISC-V systems, since the non-free "unrar" package is not available for this architecture yet. "unrar-free" is now installed instead.
- DietPi-Software | TasmoAdmin: Resolved an issue with Nginx and Lighttpd webservers where firmware updates failed as direct web access to the firmwares path was denied. Many thanks to @SimonPHP for reporting and fixing this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6328
- DietPi-Software | phpMyAdmin: Resolved an issue where an older version could have been installed since there are still v4 maintenance releases which may be dated after the latest v5 release.
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6361
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.16
(2023-04-08)
New software:
- microblog.pub | A self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub powered microblog has been added to our software catalogue. Many thanks to @mtekman for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6246
Enhancements:
- General | Reworked GPU driver installations for x86 systems. This provides better control of GPU drivers for DietPi, adding support for Vulkan and resolves issues with Steam Proton. Users will be prompted to select a driver package during DietPi-Update.: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6262
- Network | When checking for one among multiple Ethernet adapters on first boot and generally when all Ethernet interfaces are disabled, all of them are enabled first to allow the detection of a carrier signal, i.e. a connected cable. Previously, eth0 was always chosen in this situation while users may have connected a cable to another adapter. Now one does not need to know or test which adapter is eth0 to have a successful automated first run setup on NanoPi mini routers, VisionFive 2 and similar SBCs with multiple Ethernet adapters.
- Network | The IPv6 connection check is now only done if both, an IPv6 default route as well as a global unicast address (GUA) is assigned. If any of both is missing, the system falls back to using IPv4 automatically, as far as we tested. It hence is not needed to force users disabling IPv6 in this case to assure connectivity to hosts with IPv6 (and IPv4) addresses. Many thanks to @taoteh1221 for reporting a case where our scripts do and fail the IPv6 check while there are no connection issues when ignoring it: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6168
- NanoPi R5S/R6S | The kernel will be upgraded during the DietPi update to disable a writable clk DebugFS flag it was previously shipped with. Many thanks to @thinkpanzer for bringing this to our attention: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6136
- Orange Pi 5/ROCK 5B | The hardware random generator daemon rngd is used now in favour of the software random generator haveged. It will be replaced on DietPi update.
- Orange Pi 5 | Added an option to the dietpi-config Advanced Options menu to update the SPI flash bootloader. This may be needed to enable booting directly from NVMe SSDs. Many thanks to @michaelscott for bringing up this topic: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/orange-pi-5-boot-from-nvme/16457
- First run setup | When connected via local console and the keyboard layout has not been changed in dietpi.txt, an additional prompt allows you now to change the keyboard layout before you are offered to change passwords. This is obviously helpful since the password input fields are masked, hence false characters due to false keyboard layout may not be recognised but bite you later when you cannot login into your installed application. Many thanks to @LeFish1 for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5925
- DietPi-Services | The service handling for software installed via dietpi-software has received a major rework. Previously, services were "disabled" by default, so that the systemd init system did not start them automatically at boot. Instead, they were enabled at a late boot stage as part of the dietpi-postboot service via dietpi-services. The idea was to assure fast undisturbed early boot process and to have all services started up in a specific order, which guarantees that dependencies are running before dependants. But it had several negative implications: systemd is designed to speed overall services startup via parallelism, while our serial startup broke this benefit. "systemctl status SERVICE" showed services as "disabled", which caused confusion as they were still started at boot. Consequently the only way to prevent them from being started was to mask services or exclude them with our script or its config file, as "systemctl disable SERVICE" had no effect. Also it was not uncommon that APT package upgrades left the service stopped, respecting the "disabled" state. DietPi has now been aligned with how Linux distros with systemd handle services commonly. The most important startup ordering is instead done via systemd unit "After=" ordering directives to have e.g. webservers starting after PHP, and PHP after databases.
- DietPi-RAMlog | For unknown historical reasons, the /var/log tmpfs mount had 1777 mode, i.e. was world-writable with sticky bit. Since this does not match the Debian default for this directory, this mode has been removed from the mount options, so that the default mode 0755 is now used.
- DietPi-Config | Added an option to the dietpi-config Advanced Options menu to flash the current U-Boot bootloader to the MMC device if the linux-u-boot-* package of Armbian is installed (true on most SBCs aside of Raspberry Pi).
- DietPi-Config | Display Brightness: Now supports all valid and available sysfs entries in /sys/class/backlight/*. Multiple entries are also supported, allowing users to change brightness levels for all available backlights on the system. Menu system now uses percent based selection for brightness levels. NB: OLED panels (specifically laptops) require a 5.12 Kernel or higher to be supported with this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6288
Bug fixes:
- General | Added more generic support for obtaining the CPU temperature, covering some thin clients and potentially other systems where no CPU temperature was shown when running the "cpu" command or enabling it for the login banner.
- Network | Resolved an issue where WiFi connection may have failed or provided bad performance if the WiFi access point did not send a country code. If no CRDA is used, the country code is now applied via wpa_supplicant. If the access point sends a country code, it overrides the choice once the connection has been established. Many thanks to all community members who reported the issue, tested and provided a solution: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/wifi-drops-out-after-update-to-8-14-2/16082, https://dietpi.com/forum/t/rpi-wifi-stops-working-after-reboot-but-works-again-after-a-proper-shutdown/16406
- Orange Pi 5/ROCK 5B | Resolved an issue where the wrong serial console device name was expected. The correct /dev/ttyFIQ0 will be enabled on DietPi update and patched for a baudrate of 1,500,000.
- Raspberry Pi | With the recent official Raspberry Pi kernel upgrade, Raspberry Pi 4 systems do now boot with the 64-bit kernel by default, even if the underlying OS/userland is 32-bit. While we doubt in any practical benefits, dietpi-software has been patched to correctly deal with this case, i.e. installing 32-bit packages and binaries instead of relying on the "uname -m" kernel architecture output. Some 3rd party software installers may still fail to deal with this case, but we give it a chance for now and hope that affected installers can be relatively easily made compatible.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where selecting the Nvidia driver on x86_64 systems did not actually install the needed kernel module if kernel headers were not installed before. Headers matching your kernel package are now installed automatically when selecting this option, to have the driver compiled and installed.
- DietPi-Software | Fail2Ban: Resolved a DietPi v8.11 regression where moving logs to systemd journal on install fails due to a typo.
- DietPi-Software | Portainer: Disabled the install option on ARMv6 RPi models since no Portainer Docker image is available for this architecture anymore. Many thanks to @intiplink for making us aware of this: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/armv6-bookworm-software-test-matrix-question/16380/11
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6282
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.15
(2023-03-11)
New images:
- StarFive VisionFive 2 | An experimental image has been added. For details, please read our related blog post: https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=2629
- ROCK 5B | Resolved an issue with kernel upgrades since the boot partition was too small. The image is now shipped without a dedicated boot partition. Many thanks to @isarrider and @skyuplam for reporting this issue and testing the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6206
Removed software:
- Build-Essential | The C/C++ build tools and headers install option has been removed. It was used as generic dependency for other software options, but with the downside that often more packages were installed than required. When compiling is done, specific additional development headers are usually required anyway, so adding the required compiler and in case "make" per software option isn't such a burden. Hence, this has been done gradually and finally finished, making "Build-Essential" obsolete.
Enhancements:
- Quartz64 | Major kernel update to latest v6.1.16, stable U-Boot v2022.04 and enabled a lot of kernel features for various container engines and firewall/filter tasks: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6151. The kernel upgrade will be applied on DietPi update.
- Odroid C4/HC4 | Added support for HDMI audio to dietpi-config. The manual setup via a(lsa)mixer was very complicated. Many thanks to @MDAR for testing the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6178
- VisionFive 2 | Updated Linux to v5.15.98.
- DietPi-Installer | Resolved an issue where conflicting network configurations were left in place, e.g. from cloud-init when running the script on a VPS Debian image. Many thanks to @mews-se for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6067
- DietPi-CPU_info | The script and "cpu" command do not require root privileges anymore. Many thanks to @hansratzinger for bringing this to our attention: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6196. The option to write available scaling frequencies to a file via command argument "2" has been removed as well. This was not documented anywhere and has no use for end users. Internally it was used by dietpi-config, where the code has now been moved to and overall shortened.
- DietPi-Config | VisionFive 2: Added an entry to "Advanced Options" to update the SPI flash bootloader.
- DietPi-Software | XRDP: TLS via snakeoil certificate is now enabled OOTB. This leads to a warning shown on Windows RDP clients until either a proper certificate signed by a trusted CA is used (e.g. by Let's Encrypt), or it is muted for the particular server via checkbox at the client. Many thanks to @amibumping for providing the needed step: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5976
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Our Home Assistant integration used two Python environments: A pyenv is used to install the "homeassistant" core module and its direct dependencies. Home Assistant itself installs its frontend with dependencies on startup, as well as dependencies for integrations on demand, internally into another Python environment. On Home Assistant reinstalls, pyenv is removed but the internal dependencies were left untouched. This caused issues when those dependency builds were incompatible with the new pyenv Python version, or conflicting with other pyenv module upgrades. Both environments are now merged and reset on every reinstall, which solves potential conflicts but means that the first Home Assistant startup after a reinstall takes longer. Many thanks to @maury77 for reporting a related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6117
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: hostapd and the DHCP server are not stopped and restarted on DietPi updates, software installs and backups anymore, since the hotspot might be used by the client which does this task and then cuts its own connection. Many thanks to @symbios24 for making us aware of this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6166
- DietPi-Software | Box64: Added RISC-V support, as well as optimised builds for Raspberry Pi 3 and RK3588 boards, available since v0.2.2: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/releases/tag/v0.2.2
Bug fixes:
- Quartz64 | Resolved an issue where the system boots read-only on very first boot. Many thanks to @belveder79 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6149
- DietPi-Sync | Resolved an issue where the prompt after the dry run was shown even in non-interactive mode (input argument "1"), and when selecting "Cancel" or ESC, the real sync ran regardless. Many thanks to @Ruud for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/howto-call-dietpi-sync-1-without-user-interaction/15964
- DietPi-Config | Resolved a v8.14 regression where an invalid post-down interface entry was created when using WiFi Hotspot. Many thanks to @as-shura for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6224
- DietPi-Software | Docker Compose: Resolved an issue where installing and uninstalling Docker Compose could have failed if pip was installed without the distutils module. Many thanks to @bccarbone for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6153
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue where Nginx, if chosen as webserver, failed to start due to an invalid variable. Many thanks to @Trimble-tech for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/pi-hole-install-crashes-nginx/15960
- DietPi-Software | Python 3: Resolved an issue on Bookworm where installs of and via pip failed because the Debian Python 3.11 packages added a flag to prevent system-wide module installs without an override flag.
- DietPi-Software | Synapse: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Debian Bookworm.
- DietPi-Software | Koel: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Buster systems, since Koel 5.1.14 requires at least PHP 7.4. Koel 5.0.2 will now be installed on Buster, being the latest functional one supporting PHP 7.3. Many thanks to @bartolus39 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6226
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6231
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.14
(2023-02-11)
New images:
- Orange Pi 5 | Support for Orange Pi 5 SBC has been added to DietPi with hardware ID 80.
- Odroid N2/HC4 | New images have been generated with support for the default Hardkernel SPI bootloader petitboot. Thanks to this, boot from USB devices is now possible, and on Odroid HC4 it is not necessary anymore to erase the SPI flash or flash mainline U-Boot to it. Many thanks to @hstarcm and @Power-onoff for bringing up this topic and help testing adjustments to the boot script: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5634
- ROCK 5B | New images with ext4 boot filesystem have been generated, to solve possible issues and limitations of the previously used FAT filesystem. Many thanks to @isarrider for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6122
New architecture:
- Initial experimental support for RISC-V and the StarFive VisionFive 2 SBC has been added. This is all in playground stage currently, but if anyone wants to join the party, contact us.
Enhancements:
- WiFi | Since Linux 4.15, the kernel can read the WiFi country code from connected access points, and searches the regulatory database for related allowed frequencies automatically. The Central Regulatory Domain Agent (CRDA) has hence become obsolete and isn't even functional if the kernel feature is used. Linux needs to have the regulatory database in specific format stored below /lib/firmware for this, which is the case since Debian Bullseye. Additionally, if no Debian kernel is used (all SBCs), one needs to change the used regulatory database from a Debian-only one to the upstream one. New DietPi image ship now with this setup without CRDA, it is applied on next DietPi update on Bullseye and Bookworm systems, and it is offered to purge the obsolete CRDA package. This also fixes the issue on Bookworm SBC systems, where the limited global (00) country code was used, since CRDA is not available on Bookworm, but the Debian-only regulatory database used by default.
- NanoPi R2S/NEO3 | Video related kernel modules are now blacklisted on these headless SBCs, saving some bits of RAM and load at boot.
- DietPi-Globals | G_CHECK_NET: When hitting "Retry" from the error handler, the IPv6 connection check is now skipped as well when IPv6 is disabled via dietpi-config network settings or manually. The same is true for changes to the CONFIG_CHECK_CONNECTION/DOMAIN dietpi.txt settings, which can now also be changed right from the error handler. Many thanks to @derSebastian for reporting a related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5667
- DietPi-Config | It is now possible to change the dietpi.txt network connection test settings CONFIG_CHECK_CONNECTION_IP, CONFIG_CHECK_CONNECTION_IPV6 and CONFIG_CHECK_DNS_DOMAIN via dietpi-config Network Options: Misc menu. Those are used when checking Internet access via IPv4 and IPv6 and DNS resolver functionality.
- DietPi-Config | The user experience of the network adapter options has been improved:
- When changing the WiFi country code, the network is not restarted anymore and the check whether the country code has been successfully applied, has been dropped. When the kernel applies allowed frequencies directly (see above WiFi changelog entry), the country code cannot be changed anyway, and there are other cases where this fails. It is not worth the hassle of a full network restart only to check whether the country code is valid.
- If WiFi settings are applied while no SSID has been configured yet, the interface is not tried to be brought up so that one does not need to wait for the DHCP timeout to continue.
- The dialogue which offers to purge WiFi packages is now only shown if any of those packages is actually installed.
- System services are not stopped and restarted anymore when applying network changes, but only hostapd and the DHCP server, if installed.
- Most WiFi handling is now done with the modern "iw" utility instead of the legacy wireless-tools set.
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | HTTP/2 is now enabled automatically when applying HTTPS on Apache. Nginx and Lighttpd have this enabled OOTB already.
- DietPi-Software | Gogs: Our ARMv6 build for Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero (1) models has been updated to latest version 0.12.10. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 49
- DietPi-Software | Docker Compose: Migrated to the plugin variant, installed from the Docker APT repository. On existing installs, the migration can be done via "dietpi-software reinstall 134". To call it, use "docker compose" (without dash) from now on. Many thanks to @isarrider for making us aware of this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6135
Bug fixes:
- ROCK Pi S | Resolved an issue where the common serial console on UART0 did not show any output and login prompt. Many thanks to @Marsu31 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5972
- ROCK Pi 4 | Resolved an issue where onboard WiFi on ROCK Pi 4C Plus did not work, and potentially other variants than ROCK Pi 4B. Many thanks to @Marco for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/rock4c-no-wifi-hardware-found/15654
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where KVM VirtIO virtual disk volumes were not handled correctly. Many thanks to @bennettp123 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6128
- DietPi-Software | Docker: Resolved a v8.13 regression where Docker dependants (Portainer, Roon Extension Manager) failed to install as the Docker socket was not activated. Many thanks to @omavoss for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6065
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud/Nextcloud: Resolved an issue where a global software password with dashes lead to a failing install. Many thanks to @maxmoonshark for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4199
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Resolved an issue where intended initial configs were not applied correctly and web UI changes did not survive a service restart.
- DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Resolved an issue where the install failed on ARM VMs with KMS support, where the xserver-xorg-video-vmware package was tried to be installed. Many thanks to @mews-se for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6085
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Resolved an issue where using keyboard LEDs as power/activity indicators did not work, and stopping the service could hang. You can apply the fix by reinstalling Amiberry via "dietpi-software reinstall 108". Many thanks to @DJP75 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5536
- DietPi-Software | Synapse: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on 32-bit ARM systems. Many thanks to @Dark77 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/matrix-synapse-fails-to-install/15831
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6139
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.13
(2023-01-14)
New images:
- NanoPi R5S/R5C | Our NanoPi R5S image has been verified to work fine on NanoPi R5C as well, and the hardware model has been hence internally renamed to indicate this.
Enhancements:
- General | Reduced log level for kernel logs to console to omit warnings. This matches to what the "quiet" kernel command-line parameter results in and helps to prevent messy display with DietPi-CloudShell, Pi-hole PADD and similar. Many thanks to @Falconcrest for reporting a related issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/pi-hole-padd-problem-under-dietpi-v8-12-1/15299
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: On fresh installs, plain HTTP is now disabled completely but myMPD is accessible via HTTPS on port 1333 only. The myMPD CA for the default self-signed certificate is added to the systems trusted store to allow MPD fetching web radio playlists from myMPD.
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Updated to latest version 1.27.0 with web vault v2023.1.0. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 183
- DietPi-Software | NoMachine: Updated to latest version 8.2.3. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 30
- DietPi-Software | Transmission: The "cache-size-mb" setting is not set to anymore on fresh installs. It was set to 10% of RAM size, which is often too much for a pure download cache. It now defaults to 4 MiB instead. If you experience inconsistent download speeds on an existing install, you may edit or remove the setting in "/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json". Many thanks to @bbsixzz for bringing up this topic: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5069
- DietPi-Software | UrBackup: The backup path can now be pre-configured with a new SOFTWARE_URBACKUP_BACKUPPATH setting in dietpi.txt.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to version 5.5.1, including LibSDL2 v2.26.2. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 108
Bug fixes:
- NanoPi M2/T2/Fire2 | Updated our image with a device tree for the actual NanoPi M2 and a fixed device tree to allow boot on NanoPi 2 Fire. Many thanks to @NewbieOrange for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5555
- PINE H64 | Resolved an issue where our recent PINE H64 images did not contain a kernel. Many thanks to @DremOSDeveloperTeam for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6031
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Resolved an error with Nginx when multiple "server_name" directives were present in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default due to e.g. a repeating dietpi-letsencrypt/Certbot execution or manually added vhosts. Many thanks to @hemertje for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/nextcloud-problems-questions/15415/13
- DietPi-Software | Readarr: Resolved an issue where the installation failed because of a wrong download URL. Many thanks to @lambolighting for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5992
- DietPi-Software | Docker: Resolved an issue where the install failed if the kernel did not support nftables. Since iptables is installed as dependency along with the Docker package, it cannot be configured first to use the legacy API where needed. The Docker service is now masked before the package is installed, to prevent it from starting during the package install, before we can configure iptables. Many thanks to @tggjifdhn for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6013
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Resolved an issue where APT updates failed since the myMPD APT repository key expired on 2023-01-01. Many thanks to @cpsjones for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6044
- DietPi-Software | Homer: Resolved an issue where reinstalls failed. Many thanks to @JappeHallunken for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6060
- DietPi-Software | Grafana: Resolved an issue where APT updates failed if Grafana was installed, since the repo key was rotated on January 12: https://grafana.com/blog/2023/01/12/grafana-labs-update-regarding-circleci-security-updates/

- NanoPi R6S | Support for FriendlyELEC's new flagship router SBC has been added to DietPi with hardware ID 79. Many thanks to FriendlyELEC for sending us free developer samples.
Enhancements:
- General | Informational kernel logs to console are now omitted, to avoid overlaps with login banner and informational logs, like regular network state changes caused by Docker. Many thanks to @TRENT7 and @vontainment for reporting related inconveniences: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/unfinished-services-during-boot-at-login-prompt/15145, https://dietpi.com/forum/t/network-state-filling-up-terminal/14401
- Radxa Zero | USB OTG is now enabled by default, so that the Zero can be attached via USB2/PWR port in gadget mode as peripheral to a host PC. Many thanks to @kazuoteramoto for suggesting this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5931
- DietPi-Backup | The free space check before the backup runs can now be disabled. Many thanks to @kriznik for doing this suggestion: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-backup-remove-dry-run-pls/13279

- DietPi-Software | Grafana: For ARMv6 RPi models, RPi 1 and Zero (1), bumped version to latest stable v9.3.0, update via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 77
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: On fresh installs, SSL is now enabled by default on the same port 1333 which was previously used for plain HTTP. For plain HTTP, now port 1332 is used, which redirects to HTTPS automatically, but currently cannot be disabled completely.
- DietPi-Software | RPi Cam Web Interface: Renamed to correct project name and removed obsolete motion dependency.
- DietPi-Software | Node-RED: The service user is now added to the "dialout" group by default, to allow using serial console nodes. Many tanks to @devifast for doing this suggestion: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/cannot-connect-serial-port-uart-to-node-red-raspberry-pi/15215
- DietPi-Software | Shairport Sync: Updated to latest version 4.1.1. The update be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 37
Bug fixes:

- Odroid C2 | Resolved an issue where USB devices were not detected. Many thanks to @esage85 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5963
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: It was incorrectly still offered for legacy Odroid systems with vendor kernel, while recent WireGuard does not support those old kernel versions anymore. We hence did now disable the WireGuard install options for those. Many thanks to @brtravel for reporting the failed install: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/wireguard-install-failed-now-cant-do-anything-else-with-dietpi-software/15173
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on Raspberry Pi ARMv6 images (with ARMv7/8 hardware), since latest PaperMC cannot run on Java 11. Since Java 17 binary packages are finally available via Raspbian and Raspberry Pi repositories, those can be installed now, allowing PaperMC to run. Many thanks to @blueyshark for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5668
- DietPi-Software | Grafana: Resolved an issue where the uninstall failed when trying to remove the "grafana" user. Many thanks to @enviousjag for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5935

Enhancements:
- Quartz64 | The firmware package has been updated to ship with Linux v6.1.0-rc1 and firmware for onboard WiFi, respectively the PINE64 WiFi module. Furthermore, we moved to mainline U-Boot, which solves some boot issues with certain SD card and eMMC models. You will be asked during dietpi-update whether you want to upgrade it on your system.
- NanoPi NEO3 | Switched back to the again available NEO3 device tree, resolving potential hardware feature issues.
- NanoPi R2S/R4S | Enabled the Ethernet status LEDs by default. Many thanks to @TheLinuxGuy for bringing up this topic: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5538

- DietPi-Software | Go: Resolved an issue, introduced with DietPi v8.9, where the Go compiler and development tools were not added to PATH. Many thanks to @envious_jag for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/installation-snowflake/6566/10
- DietPi-Software | RoonBridge/RoonServer: Resolved an issue where the download fails as Roon downloads are now hosted on a different domain. Many thanks to @net-david for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5856
- DietPi-Software | Koel: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Buster and Bullseye systems since Koel v6 requires PHP 8.0 or later.
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Resolved an issue on Bullseye and Bookworm, where Deluge by default did not listen on any port or torrent connections, since the port range feature seems to be broken. It does now listen on the single port 6882 only by default. Many thanks to @Tarrasque for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/deluge-does-not-download-anything/14376
- DietPi-Software | Xfce: Resolved an issue where the default desktop launchers/icons could not be executed without warning and confirmation due to missing execute bit. Many thanks to @HolgerTB for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud/Nextcloud: Resolved an issue where the HSTS header was not set as expected (DietPi v7.8 regression). Many thanks to @caio1007 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/warnings-in-the-configuration-nextcloud/15002/13
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5885
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.10
(2022-10-22)
New images:
- ROCK 3A | Added support and images for Radxa ROCK 3A, based on the Rockchip RK3568 SoC, with hardware ID 77.
Enhancements:
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to version 5.4, including LibSDL2 v2.24.1. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 108
- DietPi-Software | Squeezelite: Updated to version 1.9.9-1411, fixed install on Debian Bookworm and added support for the Opus audio codec format. Also the default command-line arguments have been enhanced to not enforce the audio format anymore, and they can now be easily adjusted via /etc/default/squeezelite. The update can be applied via reinstall: "dietpi-software reinstall 36". Many thanks to @scan80269 and @aposcic for doing this suggestions: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4428, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5791
- DietPi-Software | Shairport Sync: Updated to final version 3.3.9 release and added support for the "pipe" and "stdout" audio backends. The update can be applied via reinstall: "dietpi-software reinstall 37". Many thanks to @foxy82 for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4470
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Updated to version 1.26.0, including web vault v2022.10.1. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 183
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: The Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) is now installed by default. For existing installs, do a reinstall: "dietpi-software reinstall 157". To activate HACS, follow this guide: https://hacs.xyz/docs/configuration/basic/. Many thanks to @pbanj for pointing us to this option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4709#issuecomment-1192069367
- DietPi-Software | GMediaRender: Updated to version 0.0.9 and aligned service name with Debian and upstream service and executable name. The update can be applied via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 163
Bug fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue where on some SBCs old initramfs images were not cleaned up.
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue where some I2C and SPI device drivers were not loaded. Many thanks to @f-laurens and others for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5789
- DietPi-CloudShell | Pi-hole: Fixed stats with recent Pi-hole version as the port file is not used anymore. Many thanks to @oradke for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5810
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where it was not possible to disable the swap file with less than 2 GiB available free space on that drive. The check was meant to prevent the creation of a swap file with limited free space, while disabling/removing a swap file should of course always be possible. Furthermore the 2 GiB free space requirement has been removed completely, which has no point on non-system drives and is too strict even on system drives which, depending on the setup, can run fine with much less free space. Many thanks to @symbios24 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5749#issuecomment-1257169750
- DietPi-Software | FreshRSS: Resolved an issue where the install failed because of changed branches on the GitHub repository. Many thanks to @baptiste313 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5767
- DietPi-Software | Roon Bridge: Resolved an issue where the internal updater failed because of insufficient permissions. Many thanks to @Tristan_Harward for reporting this issue: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-bridge-on-dietpi-impossible-to-update-from-build-164-to-167-resolved-by-dan-knight-dietpi-creator/52303/80
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5814
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.9
(2022-09-24)
Enhancements:
- Raspberry Pi | The raspberrypi-sys-mods package has been replaced with an own one, using only the small subset of the contained tweaks, which are useful on DietPi as well. A recent update of the package added a large number of dependencies, required for rpi-imager setup steps on Raspberry Pi OS only: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5734
- NanoPi R5S | The Ethernet LEDs have been enabled. Many thanks to @3735943886 for providing the related sysfs triggers: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5679
- DietPi-Installer | The root user home directory and login shell are now reset to /root and /bin/bash, as expected by the fresh DietPi system. Many thanks to @symbios24 for reporting a case where root logins did fail because zsh was the login shell, but missing on a fresh DietPi system: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5749
- DietPi-Survey/DietPi-BugReport | From Debian Bookworm on, for survey and bug report uploads to DietPi servers, the deprecated RSA host key algorithm has been replaced by the modern Ed25519 algorithm. The known hosts entry has been additionally hardened to allow only connecting to a specific non-default port.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | mergerfs fstab entries are now preserved. Many thanks to @paradix for suggesting this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5622
- DietPi-Software | Plex Media Server: The "plex" system group is now removed on uninstall. This was not done automatically on package removal, since we change the primary group of the "plex" system user to "dietpi". Many thanks to @mail2rst for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/plex-installation-broken-via-dietpi-software-after-uninstallation-of-docker-docker-compose/14130
- DietPi-Software | Go: GOPATH is not set anymore to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/go on fresh installs and will default to ~/go instead. This especially makes multi-user setups easier where usually every user wants its own Go workspace. Many thanks to @tlgs for bringing this to our attention: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5735
- DietPi-Software | HAProxy: Bumped version to latest stable v2.6.5, update via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 98
- DietPi-Software | phpBB: Bumped version for new installs to latest stable v3.3.8, update it by following the instructions on the web UI ACP.
- DietPi-Software | NoMachine: Bumped version to latest stable v7.10.1_1, update via reinstall: dietpi-software reinstall 30
Bug fixes:
- DietPi-Imager | Resolved an issue where the script could have failed because of a missing directory. Many thanks to @DrCWO for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5750
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue with the reserved blocks option where the entered value was accidentally applied as number of blocks instead of as MiB, leading to a much smaller reserved space as intended.
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud: Resolved an issue where the install failed because of a changed download URL. Many thanks to @DrMoshSince1988 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5739
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Resolved an issue where mouse movement did not work because of change in the latest libSDL2 version. Many thanks to @lilltonka for reporting this issue and @midwan for the fix in upcoming Amiberry v5.4: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5730, https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/issues/995
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5760
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.8
(2022-08-28)
New features:
- DietPi-Imager | It is now possible to skip the 7z archive creation but have the raw image file created only. Many thanks to @DrCWO for requesting this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5687
Enhancements:
- DietPi-Imager | It is now possible to shrink the originating image's/drive's filesystems and partitions only, instead of creating a new image file from it by passing/exporting the variable "SHRINK_ONLY=1".
- DietPi-Imager | The dietpi-fs_partition_resize.service is now enabled automatically on the source image/drive before it is shrunk. This way it is assured that the shrunk original system as well as the newly created image will have their root partition and filesystem expanded automatically on next boot. Many thanks to @DrCWO for suggesting this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5672
Bug fixes:
- DietPi-Installer | The common Debian images on Linode VPS can now be converted into DietPi. This was previously failing since these images intentionally do not contain a partition table, so that GRUB cannot be flashed. Many thanks to @mews-se for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5691
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on Buster systems. Many thanks to @anubis-genix for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5681
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Resolved an issue where reinstalls onto existing pre-v1.25 vaultwarden installs lead to missing remote web vault access. Many thanks to @jetspeed for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/vaultwarden-update-command-fail-then-vaultwarden-not-start-even-after-reboot/13350/68
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5715
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.7
(2022-07-30)
New images:
- NanoPi R5S | Initial support for FriendlyELEC's new router SBC has been added, with three Ethernet ports, up to 2.5 Gbps, based on the new Rockchip RK3568 SoC.
New software:
- Readarr | The ebook manager of the Servarr family has been added as dietpi-software option.
- Navidrome | An open source web-based music collection server and streamer has been added as dietpi-software option.
Enhancements:
- Quartz64 | The firmware package has been updated to ship with Linux v5.19-rc1. You will be asked during dietpi-update whether you want to upgrade it on your system.
- DietPi-Globals | The network connection checks during first boot, dietpi-update and dietpi-software installs have been enhanced: The timeout can be doubled and network settings can be entered right from the error handler menu. A dedicated IPv6 check is done and if it fails, IPv6 can be disabled from the error handler menu. The DNS check does no ping any more, but only tries to resolve the test domain.
- DietPi-Software | Prowlarr: Logging is now done to /var/log/prowlarr as intended. For this change to take effect, existing instances need to be reinstalled once: dietpi-software reinstall 151
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: DEB packages are now hosted on dietpi.com, replacing the time consuming in-place compiling. This also solves issues where builds failed due to insufficient memory.
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: The web interface and web server dialogues from the Pi-hole installer are now skipped. Since we force the installation of a web server and PHP, but allow to choose the web server freely, not installing the web interface as well as installing Pi-hole's Lighttpd setup are no reasonable choices.
Bug fixes:
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where "cgroup_enable=memory" was unnecessarily added multiple times on Raspberry Pi when installing or reinstalling container engines. Many thanks to @mdsjip for fixing this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5600
- DietPi-Software | Webmin: Resolved an issue where the service failed to start. Many thanks to @alucard87pl for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5594
- DietPi-Software | Raspotify: Resolved an issue where the service failed to start on ARMv6 RPi models (Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero (1)). It is not supported by latest Raspotify anymore, so we install the latest ARMv6-compatible version instead. Many thanks to @dvelluto for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5602
- DietPi-Software | Rclone: Resolved an issue where on ARMv6 the x86_64 package was attempted to be installed. Many thanks to @eddiermar for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5601
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: Resolved an issue on Debian Bookworm where the service failed to start because of missing root trust anchors. Many thanks to @smittyj for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5612
- DietPi-Software | Tailscale: Resolved an issue where APT updates failed after Tailscale was uninstalled. Many thanks to @SlowRaid for resolving this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5623
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue where the dialog windows looked ugly when executed via SSH and keyboard inputs caused characters to appear on the screen.
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Worked around an issue where on ARMv8 systems the service failed to start since for some reason the previously working aarch64 unrar binary (which is actually an ARMv5tel one) does not work on recent arm64 Debian anymore. A fix with a real aarch64 binary has been sent upstream. Many thanks to @dioxide0363 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/bazarr-fails-to-start-on-freshly-installed-dietpi/13658
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5658
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.6
(2022-07-02)
New images:
- Quartz64 | Support and images for the PINE64 Quartz64 series have been added to DietPi, modern feature-rich SBCs based on the new Rockchip RK3566 SoC.
New software:
- Prometheus Node Exporter: A Prometheus exporter for hardware and OS metrics, written in Go, has been added to the DietPi software catalogue. Many thanks to @alexiri for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5551
- Tailscale: A new VPN server option has been added to the DietPi software catalogue. Many thanks to @goldfix for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5558
- Rclone: "rsync for cloud storage" has been added to the DietPi software catalogue. Many thanks to @goldfix for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5560
- ZeroTier: The free easy to deploy cloud-hosted VPN service has been added to the DietPi software catalogue. Many thanks to @AAS-Crypt for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5567
New features:
- DietPi-Software | PiVPN: It is now possible to do an unattended install by placing a config file named "unattended_pivpn.conf" into the boot partition/directory. For example configs, have a look at https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn/tree/master/examples. Many thanks to @bastianpaetzold for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5546
Enhancements:
- DietPi-Software | HAProxy: It received some updates and enhancements, using v2.6.0 sources now, enabled support for prometheus metrics, updated cipher suites, and the initial password for the admin panel is now the global software password instead of hardcoded "dietpi". All config file changes affect fresh installs only, while reinstalls will never touch the config file, but update the HAProxy binary only: "dietpi-software reinstall 98"
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Our package has been updated to latest v5.3. Run "dietpi-software reinstall 108" to update your instance: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases/tag/v5.3
Bug fixes:
- Odroid N2 | Resolved an issue where our image didn't boot from Hardkernel eMMC modules with orange PCB. Many thanks to @greentea1 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/problem-for-my-n2/13426
- DietPi-VPN | Resolved an issue where NordVPN, IPVanish and PIA connections failed if the killswitch was enabled. Many thanks to @jonyskids for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-vpn-blocking-443/13348
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Resolved an issue where Lighttpd needed to be reloaded manually after certificate renewals to serve the new certificate. Many thanks to @Rednox for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/letsencrypt-renew-cron-issue/13471/6
- DietPi-Software | Radarr: Resolved an issue where the installation on ARMv6 Raspberry Pi models (Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero (1)) failed, since Radarr v4 does not support Mono anymore. The latest v3 will be installed now on these models. Many thanks to @eddiermar for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5537
- DietPi-Software | Lidarr: Precautionary, on ARMv6 Raspberry Pi models, the latest v0.8 will be installed from now on, since the upcoming v1 won't support Mono anymore.
- DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: Resolved an issue where the installation failed due to a missing config file. Many thanks to @TomEighty15 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/jellyfin-installation-error/13402
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Resolved an issue where the installation could have failed due to insufficient system memory.
- DietPi-Software | WiringPi: Resolved an issue where the installation failed on Odroids because of a missing dependency. Many thanks to @Guchshenskaya for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5543

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.5
(2022-05-28)
New software:
- Prowlarr | The indexer manager of the Servarr family has been added as dietpi-software option.
Changes:
- Security | It is now possible to enter the WPA-PSK WiFi key as 64-digit hexadecimal key, as e.g. returned by "wpa_passphrase". It will be converted as needed, stored and applied to wpa_supplicant config automatically in this format. In case of using "dietpi-wifi.txt" on a fresh DietPi installation, please note that this requires an image with DietPi v8.5 pre-installed, i.e. dated after May 28, 2022. Many thanks to @robinemde for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5406
- Security | It is now possible to add public SSH keys to dietpi.txt, to be applied at first boot for public key authentication with "dietpi" and "root" users. Additionally, SSH password authentication can be disabled for all users or "root" only. Have a look at "AUTO_SETUP_SSH_PUBKEY" and "SOFTWARE_DISABLE_SSH_PASSWORD_LOGINS" settings in /boot/dietpi.txt.
- DietPi-Software | Dropbear/OpenSSH: Password authentication is now disabled if set via "SOFTWARE_DISABLE_SSH_PASSWORD_LOGINS" setting in /boot/dietpi.txt.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to latest version 5.2 and shipped now as DEB package. Also the included libSDL2 libraries have been updated to latest stable versions. Additionally builds for all SBCs and architectures, including x86_64, have been added, i.e. Amiberry is now available on all platforms.
- DietPi-Software | WiringPi: Build dependencies have been reduced so that only the actually required tools and headers are installed instead of the whole Build-Essential package.
Fixes:
- DietPi-VPN | Resolved an issue where applying a ProtonVPN connection or starting the killswitch could have failed, if the "gettext-base" package was not installed. Many thanks to @Wilford888 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5501
- DietPi-Software | Spotifyd: Resolved an issue where fresh installs failed because of a missing parent directory. Many thanks to @C0ntroller for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5484
- DietPi-Software | WiringPi: Resolved an issue where the install on Odroids failed as of a change in the build scripts of Hardkernel's fork. Many thanks to @MDAR for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5485
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: Resolved an issue where the service failed to start after a reinstall when Gitea was installed before DietPi v7.9. Many thanks to @twikedk for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5516
- DietPi-Software | vaultwarden: Resolved an issue where web access wasn't possible, since it binds to localhost with recent vaultwarden or web vault release. We restore the previous behaviour on fresh installs and reinstalls, but preserve any stricter value that may have been manually applied, like the local IP. Many thanks to @amibumpin for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/vaultwarden-update-to-1-25-web-access/13248
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5522
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.4
(2022-04-30)
New images:
- NanoPi M2/T2/Fire2 | We updated our NanoPi 2 series image to be shipped with Linux 4.4, the latest Linux version for the S5P4418 SoC, provided by FriendlyELEC. It is compatible will all FriendlyELEC S5P4418 SBCs: NanoPi 2, NanoPi M2, NanoPC T2, NanoPi Fire2A, NanoPi 2 Fire and NanoPi S2. Sadly systems running the old image cannot be upgraded, since the new U-Boot requires more space and hence a different partitioning. The new image ships with two scripts to flash U-Boot and to change the U-Boot environment/config: One can now edit /boot/u-boot/env.txt and apply the changes by running /boot/u-boot/flash_env.sh. Run fw_printenv to see the current U-Boot environment, also to get an idea of available settings. Kernel, U-Boot, firmware and these scripts are installed as part of a self-hosted "firmware-nanopi2" package. The kernel sources can be found at https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux/tree/nanopi2-v4.4.y, so that headers can be compiled. We will probably provide a kernel headers package as well, if there is a demand, e.g. to enable the DKMS-based WireGuard VPN server software option.
- Odroid XU4 | We updated our Odroid XU4 image to be shipped with Linux 5.4. Sadly systems running the old image cannot be upgraded, since the new U-Boot config requires a single ext4 partition without a dedicated boot partition.
Removed software:
- OpenBazaar | This software option has been removed from DietPi. The original project has been officially abandoned a while ago and a fork we recently switched to sadly doesn't show any activity anymore, leaving broken installs on ARM and no fully compatible clients. Since we really like the approach, as fast as there is a reliable and trustable revival of OpenBazaar, we will re-implement it, but for now it simply isn't functional. If you have OpenBazaar still installed on your DietPi system, see here for ways to uninstall it: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5465
CLI changes:
- DietPi-Set_software | The "apt-cache" command has been renamed to "apt" to better reflect its options, which do not cover the APT cache only, but APT lists and the location of the downloaded package archive as well. For backwards compatibility, "apt-cache" however remains valid for now.
Changes:
- Security | Access permissions for /etc/sudoers.d/dietpi have been hardened to comply with best practice. Many thanks to @fmunteanu for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5441
- DietPi-Config | It is now possible toggle APT list compression. APT package lists are xz-compressed by default on DietPi, which reduces disk writes during APT updates and disk usage of APT lists by about 80%. But it slows down APT installs/upgrades, especially when a large number of packages is installed/upgraded, since parsing compressed lists for e.g. building the dependency tree is done quite inefficiently. The option can be found in "dietpi-config" > "Advanced Options" > "APT".
- DietPi-Software | The webserver, desktop and browser "preference" menus have been removed, in favour of an interactive dialogue once respective dependant software is to be installed. Those menus have always caused confusion, since selecting e.g. a specific desktop didn't cause this desktop to be installed, unless another software was selected which requires a desktop to work. For automated first run installs, the respective dietpi.txt settings are still respected.
- DietPi-Software | Box86: On ASUS Tinker Board, compiling is now done with an optimised build target flag. You can update Box86 by reinstalling it: dietpi-software reinstall 62
- DietPi-Software | Box64: On Odroid N2, compiling is now done with an optimised build target flag. You can update Box64 by reinstalling it: dietpi-software reinstall 197
- DietPi-Software | VirtualHere: On new installs and reinstalls, VirtualHere is now installed to /opt/virtualhere to align with most other software options. Logging is now done to system log, viewable via "journalctl -u virtualhere", instead of using the /var/log/virtualhere.log plain text file. By default, the system hostname is now used as VirtualHere server name, instead of the hardcoded "DietPi". An existing config file is never touched on reinstalls.
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: The ruTorrent web interface is now reinstalled cleanly, i.e. configs, 3rd party plugins and themes are preserved but all other files are removed before new ruTorrent files are installed. Many thanks to @shanew1694 for reporting a related issue with remaining obsolete files: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5161#issuecomment-1013286248
Fixes:
- Network | Resolved an issue on some Armbian based systems where the network interface naming changed unintentionally after a kernel upgrade.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi where disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth failed, since the hciuart.service cannot be restarted until reboot after it was stopped once. In the same turn, this also resolved an issue in DietPi-PREP where the service is still running after package removal, while trying to disabling it fails as of the missing service file. Many thanks to @Mausy5043 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5435
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi Buster systems where the installation failed because of a syntax error. Many thanks to @bbmak for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Tor/Unbound: Resolved an issue where IPv6 usage was assumed only based on the dietpi.txt setting instead of on whether IPv6 can really be used for Internet connections. E.g. when a VPN connection is established, usually IPv6 is disabled to prevent IPv6 leaks, without changing the general dietpi.txt setting. Tor and Unbound service starts however fail then, trying to bind to the IPv6 port. If the adapter has an IPv6 address assigned, but no IPv6 default route, binding to the IPv6 port succeeds, but Internet connections via IPv6 are not possible, which isn't better. On the other hand, using IPv4 only while IPv6 is enabled, has no real downsides. Many thanks to @Wgsem for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5412
- DietPi-Software | Python 3: Updated the workaround for ARMv6/7 Buster systems where installing numpy or any module which depends on numpy failed. It was accidentally applied only on Raspberry Pi 2 and earlier, while it should have been applied to all ARMv6/7 Buster systems. Additionally, all numpy >=0.21.5 versions are now blocked, since the recent v0.21.6 fails to compile for the same reason.
- DietPi-Software | Single File PHP Gallery: Resolved the failing installation since a new version is available and the old download link has become invalid. Many thanks to @dodo1967 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5415
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Resolved an issue where the WiFi country code was not applied when the WiFi Hotspot was installed via automated first run setup. Many thanks to @matteocarnelos for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5407
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5460
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.3
(2022-04-02)
New images:
- Container | Initial support for container systems has been added to DietPi, using hardware ID 75. For now it is assumed that the container guest does not require an own network stack, but uses the host network interface or one managed by the container engine. This works well with systemd-nspawn which we use for DietPi image generation and for testing DietPi features in CI/CD pipelines. Further support and images for specific container engines, like Docker or LXC with Proxmox and QEMU will follow.
New software:
- PHP Composer | The PHP package manager has been made a dedicated install option.
Changes:
- DietPi-Banner | It is now possible to hide the credits section from the DietPi banner. Run "dietpi-banner" to configure its content. Many thanks to @math-gout for contributing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5355
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Adding an NFS drive now allows to select a specific export from an NFS server, detected via "showmount -e <IP/hostname>". Entering a custom path is still possible, including the single slash "/" which was always used before. If the NFS server has no root export defined via "fsid=0", this solves the issue that the full root directory structure is mounted and allows to mount multiple shares from the same server. Many thanks to @bamyasi for doing this suggestion.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | NFS and Samba network drives can now be mounted to any directory on the server, not necessarily below /mnt.
- DietPi-DDNS | It is now possible to select the IP family to associate with your DDNS domain. For new setups, IPv4 is used by default for best compatibility. If you configured your DDNS domain already, no IP family is forced to not change existing behaviour, unless selected explicitly. We recommend to use IPv4 so that your server can be reached with any client from any network, regardless whether client and network support IPv6 or not. Many thanks to @TomBayne for suggesting this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5354
- DietPi-Software | motionEye: We worked together with other contributors to revive motionEye and port it over to Python 3, which also allowed us to re-enable it on Debian Bullseye systems. It requires further careful testing before a stable release can be done, but common functionality works. We enabled it with a "beta" mark in DietPi-Software. Visit the new home of motionEye, and if you want, contribute or help testing: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye
- DietPi-Software | Node-RED: The "nodered" service user is now added to the "spi" system group automatically, relevant on Raspberry Pi to grant it access to SPI-attached sensors and similar. Many thanks to @devifast for reporting a related issue.
- DietPi-Software | TasmoAdmin: Reduced the downloaded data size from ~150 MiB to ~4 MiB by downloading the runtime files of the latest release only instead of the whole GitHub repository archive.
Fixes:
- NanoPi NEO3 | Resolved an issue where the board became unbootable after an "apt upgrade" because the latest version of the Armbian kernel does not ship a NEO3 device tree anymore. On DietPi upgrade, it is switched to the NanoPi R2 rev00 device tree, which works regarding Ethernet, USB and general GPIO interface: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/20133-nanopi-neo3-dtb-gone-since-linux-dtb-current-rockchip64-22021/
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue where enabling and using onboard WiFi during first run installs was failing if a reboot was done after first run update due to a kernel upgrade. Many thanks to @matteocarnelos for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5391
- Network | Resolved an issue where the systemd network targets could have been reached before the network adapter was even detected. Many thanks to @Totila for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-WiFi-Monitor | The first default gateway check is now done after the first tick rate interval instead of immediately after service start. This adds another grace period at boot to reduce the chance that the WiFi monitor reconfigures the interface which is just about to be configured for the first time. This should usually not be required, but may help with cases where the initial DHCP lease or WPA authentication time out or fail.
- DietPi-TimeSync | Resolved an issue where the script threw a syntax error where it shouldn't, which however didn't affect functionality. Many thanks to @adminy for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5347
- DietPi-Login | Resolved an issue where a prompt about an unsupported SSH client terminal was incorrectly shown. Many thanks to @jahway603 and @Dagon for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5341, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5366
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Worked around an issue on Bullseye with legacy Linux versions, where exFAT filesystems failed to mount since the exFAT driver for FUSE is not invoked automatically if the native kernel driver is missing. A symlink for "mount.exfat => mount.exfat-fuse" is now created in these cases to force this invocation, and it is removed as fast as due to a kernel upgrade, the native exFAT driver becomes available. Many thanks to @RunningUtes for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5166
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi Bullseye systems where libraries were missing to run Kodi via KMS/DRM. Many thanks to @derebo for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Mopidy: Resolved an issue where there installation failed. Many thanks to @amibumpin for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Resolved an issue where the web interface didn't work with Nginx because the PHP handler wasn't set. Many thanks to @vinhtq115 for providing the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5375
- DietPi-Software | Webmin: Worked around an issue where the install failed. Many thanks to @omavoss for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5386
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Resolved an issue where the WireGuard module shipped with the kernel was not detected if it is shipped xz-compressed. Many thanks to @Carbonara for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi Bullseye systems where pages did not load but a "Page Unresponsive" error prompt was shown after a while instead, if KMS/DRM was not used. Many thanks to @pastaholic for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5342
- DietPi-Software | Nukkit: Resolved an issue where the service failed to start because of an unintended single quote character in the service file. Many thanks to @richardpdunngb for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5396
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5397
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.2
(2022-03-05)
New images:
- UTM | Support for the UTM virtualizer on macOS has been added and an image is provided on our download page. It supports x86_64 natively and M1 systems via emulation, working but with performance downsides. A native aarch64 M1 image will follow soon.
- ESXi | A new VMware ESXi compatible x86_64 OVA appliance is now available for download. An ESXi-Arm variant will follow soon.
- Proxmox | A VM image for the Proxmox VM and container platform is now available for download.
- Odroid C4 | We replaced the legacy kernel image with a new mainline Linux image, built from scratch, using the methods used for the new Odroid N2(+) image.
New software:
- MicroK8s | The simplest production-grade upstream K8s. Lightweight and focused, added to DietPi as software option with ID 142. Many thanks to @silverraindog for the implementation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5239
Removed software:
- Nvidia | Removed the dedicated proprietary Nvidia display driver install option. It can installed/uninstalled along with AMD and Intel drivers via dietpi-config display options on x86_64 systems, which is now done faster by skipping service restarts and overhead of dietpi-software around the actual package installs/uninstalls.
Changes:
- General | It is now checked in various scripts whether kernel modules for the loaded kernel are available, i.e. the directory /lib/modules/<version> which matches the kernel version reported by "uname -r", so that additional kernel modules can be loaded ondemand. This is not the case after kernel upgrades, when the previous kernel was replaced or autoremoved and a reboot outstanding to load the new kernel. In this transient situation, several system tasks and software installs can fail if they rely on loading additional kernel modules, which includes installs of container and emulation platforms, but also more trivial command calls like "ip".
- DietPi-Banner | If no DietPi or APT package update is available, the banner now informs you about an outstanding reboot to finalise a kernel upgrade.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Users will now face an additional prompt if a reboot is outstanding to finalise a kernel upgrade, with the offer to perform the reboot now. The drive manager relies on this when mounting new filesystems which require kernel drivers, and to correctly detect whether the "autofs4" module is available or not.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Reserved blocks on ext4 filesystem are now shown and can be set in MiB rather than in percent. This makes it easier to apply a reasonable value, which usually does not depend on the filesystem size but may be a fixed value to assure that root can perform maintenance or cleanup tasks.
- DietPi-Update | Users will now face an additional prompt after the update if a reboot is outstanding to finalise a kernel upgrade, with the offer to perform the reboot now. The reboot is done automatically on first boot of the DietPi system.
- DietPi-Software | The script cannot be used anymore if a reboot is outstanding to finalise a kernel upgrade. Users will face a prompt which offers to perform the reboot now. The reboot is done automatically on first boot of the DietPi system, when required, while usually this is covered by the proceeding DietPi update already.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Bridge: The service now runs as "roonbridge" service user instead of as "root". The install directory has been moved to /opt/roonbridge, the data directory to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/roonbridge and the log directory to /var/log/roonbridge, for consistency. The DietPi update does not enforce the migration, but a manual reinstall via "dietpi-software reinstall 121" applies it, while preserving all data and configs.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Extension Manager: The service now runs as "roon-extension-manager" service user instead of as "root" and the data directory has been moved to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/roon-extension-manager. The DietPi update does not enforce the migration, but a manual reinstall via "dietpi-software reinstall 86" applies it, while preserving all extensions and configs.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Server: The service now runs as "roonserver" service user instead of as "root" and logs are now done to /var/log/roonserver, i.e. the DietPi-RAMlog by default, aligning with Roon Bridge. The DietPi update does not enforce the migration, but a manual reinstall via "dietpi-software reinstall 154" applies it, while preserving all data and configs. When you do the reinstall, note that Roon remote apps will ask you to login again and unauthorise the connected Roon Server. This is however just a formal step required as of the service user change, while all your settings and libraries appear just the same.
- DietPi-Software | Docker Compose: We migrated from the Python-based v1 to v2, written in Go. Existing installs can be migrated with a manual "dietpi-software reinstall 134". Many thanks to @CommandLineN00b for making us aware of this major Docker Compose upgrade: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5034
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: It is now easier to autostart Chromium as non-root user, making use of systemd-logind and startx. The related change requires a reinstall of Chromium: dietpi-software reinstall 113
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: The web interface will now connect to the local Deluge server automatically. Many thanks to @jonyskids for doing this suggestion and @Jappe for providing the solution.
- DietPi-Software | Allo GUI: The Allo audiophile web interface received a major version update: It does caching and session storage via APCu memory cache, does not make use of the dedicated "allo" user anymore, and has undergone a bunch of updates, fixes, security hardenings and cleanups, including a database created from scratch. The migration will be done automatically with the DietPi update, which also provides further details. The source code is now hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi-AlloGUI
Fixes:
- DietPi-TimeSync | Resolved an issue where the systemd-timesyncd service was not stopped at boot as intended, when the time sync finished before DietPi-TimeSync started: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5256
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where the onboard audio selection for our new Odroid N2 image did not work. Many thanks to @Kreeblah for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5039#issuecomment-1038326411
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where via AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID dietpi.txt settings it was possible to install software on first boot which is actually not supported on the platform. Many thanks to @eyduh for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5245
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue on RPi where on repeating container platform installs, multiple "cgroup_enable=memory" entries were added to /boot/cmdline.txt. The duplicates are removed automatically on DietPi update, when present. Many thanks to @isarrider for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5225
- DietPi-Software | Apache: Resolved an issue on fresh installs where the service failed to start due to a config file syntax error. Many thanks to @Camry2731 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5248
- DietPi-Software | Nextcloud: Resolved an issue where the install on an over 2 GiB RAM system failed. Many thanks to @p4cm4n for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5251
- DietPi-Software | Folding@Home: Resolved an issue where reinstalls failed since a removed SysV service is tried to be stopped. Many thanks to @eyduh for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5255
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Resolved an issue where the service entered an endless restart loop because of a missing dependency. Many thanks to @alleyu2 for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Python 3: Worked around an issue on ARMv6/7 Buster systems where installing numpy or any module which depends on numpy failed: https://github.com/piwheels/packages/issues/287
- DietPi-Software | Pydio: Resolved an issue where the data directory was not writeable. Many thanks @holocronology for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5274
- DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: Resolved an issue where during install two settings failed to apply since the config file didn't exist yet. Many thanks to @echtfrank for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5279
- DietPi-Software | Firefox: Resolved a warning on startup about the missing libpci library, used to detect GPU details. Many thanks to @MDAR for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5278#issuecomment-1044381054
- DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Resolved an issue on modern Odroid C2 and NanoPi K2 (Amlogic S905 SoC) images where the X server (desktop) failed to start. Many thanks to all users who reported and helped resolving this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5234
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5330
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.1
(2022-02-05)
SBC support:
- Odroid N2 | Support for Odroid N2(+) with modern mainline Linux images has been added, including proper boot configuration, serial console selection, HDMI and 3.5mm audio selection and more. Sadly existing images cannot be migrated, a new image is available for testing: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5039
Changes:
- DietPi-Benchmark | During RAM I/O benchmarks, the CPU governor is now changed to "performance" so that the result is not affected by possible CPU frequency scaling but the raw/max RAM I/O performance is measured. A significant effect of this has been recognised on Odroid N2 images with modern mainline kernel. Since the CPU benchmark is done first, this has no effect on its score and CPU temperature results.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Btrfs subvolume mounts are now preserved in /etc/fstab. Many thanks to @laddde for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5176
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | The Samba mount dialogues do now indicate that a hostname can be entered instead of a server IP and a shared folder path instead of a share name only.
- DietPi-Backup | A notification is not printed when rsync dry-run to obtain required disk space is starting, since this can take a while. Many thanks to @whisdol for reporting the the impression of a hanging script: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5209
- DietPi-Software | iptables is now automatically configured to use either modern nf_tables API or legacy API, depending on whether nf_tables is supported by the kernel. This is helpful for Bullseye images with older kernel versions, where iptables is by default configured to use nf_tables, which fails.
- DietPi-Software | iptables rules are now applied for IPv6 as well in all cases (for VPN servers, WiFi and Tor hotspots) via ip6tables. This does not depend on whether IPv6 is actually enabled for interfaces, but enables general IPv6 support for affected software options. Many thanks to @vielka442 for reporting missing IPv6 support for Tor Hotspot: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5038
- DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: For new installs, the default web interface port has been changed from 8096 to 8097 to resolve a port conflict with Emby.
- DietPi-Software | Docker/K3s: The memory cgroup is now enabled as well on RPi and our new Odroid N2 image, when Docker or K3s is installed, to allow container memory usage monitoring. Many thanks to @isarrider for this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5225
- DietPi-Software | Raspotify: This software option has been disabled on Debian Buster systems but enabled for ARMv8 and x86_64 systems, to match the current state of the official Raspotify APT repository.
Fixes:
- DietPi-Services | Resolved an issue where service edits and process tool settings were not effective as they were stored to the wrong file path. Many thanks to @TopFord and @MicDG for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Resolved an issue where Certbot failed on fresh Apache installs since the 000-default.conf vhost by default does not contain any directive anymore. The ServerName directive with the entered domain name is now added to 000-default.conf instead of apache2.conf, with the benefit that it overrides the global ServerName directive in dietpi.conf, which uses the local IP address only.
- DietPi-Software/DietPi-AutoStart | Chromium: Resolved an issue where the Chromium kiosk autostart option failed on all non-RPi systems.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Extension Manager: It has been disabled for ARMv6 RPi systems where it cannot run currently. Many thanks to @JanKoudijs for applying this fix: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5231
- DietPi-Software | FuguHub: Resolved an issue where the uninstall failed as the service was not stopped and removed as expected, before attempting to remove the service user.
- DietPi-Software | PHP: Resolved an issue where the PATH variable was not available for PHP applications with Lighttpd and Nginx webservers. It is now set to the static value "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin", the default PATH excluding super user executables "sbin". Many thanks to @shanew1694 for reporting a related issue with rTorrent: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5161#issuecomment-1013381362
- DietPi-Software | MineOS: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Bullseye: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5181
- DietPi-Software | Cuberite: Resolved an issue where the server failed to start on ARMv8 systems: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5180
- DietPi-Software | MATE: Resolved an issue where the install failed when LXDE is installed already. Many thanks to @n0valis for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5214
- DietPi-Software | Ampache: Resolved an issue on Bullseye systems where Ampache v5 installs/reinstalls did not work because of a changed webroot directory: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5205
- DietPi-Software | OpenBazaar: Since the original project has been taken down, we migrated to a fork which keeps up the marketplace for the community: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5213
- DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Resolved an issue where VMs without KMS/DRM support failed to start the X server, e.g. Hyper-V. The classic framebuffer DDX is now installed when no KMS/DRM support is detected on VMs.
- DietPi-Software | Box86/Box64: Resolved an issue where the install failed when a kernel upgrade has just been done so that the "binfmt_misc" kernel module cannot be found for the loaded kernel.
- DietPi-Software | RPi-Monitor: Resolved an issue where the CPU temperature was not shown. Many thanks to @KamikazeePL for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue with the latest Home Assistant version where restarting it via web interface made it remaining stopped. The fix is applied to all instances on DietPi update. Many thanks to @jchh for reporting this issue.
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5229
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v8.0
(2022-01-08)
Stretch support:
- Support for Debian Stretch has now been removed, which allowed us to do a major code cleanup and migrate to some newer methods in different areas which are only available on Buster and above.
Changes:
- Network | For new images, the default DHCP timeout is not reduced to 10 seconds anymore. This could have been too short, in which case network targets of the boot sequence are reached before an IP has been actually assigned. Especially in case of AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1 this could have lead to connection test timeouts and hence abortion of the automated first run setup. Many thanks to @jpeg2600 for reporting such a case: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5143
- DietPi-Config | When configuring a first WiFi slot via scanning for SSIDs, the WiFi adapter is now not brought up via "ifup" but "ip l dev wlanX up". This way no DHCP and WPA client starts are triggered, which are doomed to fail when the WiFi adapter is not connected to any access point yet. Especially in case of the default 60 seconds DHCP timeout, this would otherwise cause an unnecessary long delay.
- DietPi-Dashboard | Added an option to view multiple dashboard nodes from one frontend web interface. Related to this, the backend can now be installed only, reducing memory usage and making it impossible to manually access the node outside of the backend API.
- DietPi-Print_large | This new script has been added which can be executed or sourced from /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-print_large to print the string passed via first argument in large figlet style fonts. It currently only supports the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, dot and dash, i.e. those commonly allowed in hostnames.
- DietPi-Banner | Added an option to print the system's hostname in large figlet style fonts, right below the banner header. In case it is enabled as well, the regular/small hostname line will then be skipped. Many thanks to @matellis for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5113
- DietPi-Software | Mono: "mono-complete" won't be installed anymore but only "mono-devel" instead. This skips the XSP4 webserver service, which listens on port 8084 by default where it conflicts with File Browser. This only affects new instals. You can manually apply this change via "apt-mark manual mono-devel && apt --autoremove purge mono-complete". Many thanks to @jaguar489 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5093
- DietPi-Software | FuguHub: The outdated official installer has been replaced with a fully automated own setup, removing the obsolete or even harmful interactive dialogues. On fresh installs, an admin account "dietpi" with global software password is created as well.
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Installation is now done via official APT repository, which means quicker install compared to compiling from source, fewer dependencies and easier updates via "apt upgrade": https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5115
- DietPi-Software | Airsonic: Since the project has been archived by its maintainer and suffers from the critical Log4Shell security vulnerability, we moved to the advertised fork "Airsonic-Advanced" which also enables compatibility with Java 17 and hence Debian Bullseye. Airsonic will be reinstalled as part of the DietPi update to apply the migration. All data and settings will be preserved and migrated automatically.
Fixes:
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue where unintentionally the turbo mode was enabled. This got backported to v7.9, to our existing RPi images and via live patch. Many thanks to @ayo-x and @whyisthisbroken for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5088
- DietPi-FS_partition_resize | Resolved an issue where in some cases the boot partition failed to mount on first boot since after the partition resize the system in some cases didn't get sufficient time to fully apply the change before continuing with the boot mount attempt. Many thanks to @Mausy5043 and @sistemicorp for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5006
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where on Raspberry Pi, when the full KMS display driver is used, the sound card selection could have been falsely applied. With full KMS enabled, for each HDMI port an additional HDMI sound card appears (replacing the regular firmware HDMI sound device), even when no HDMI device is attached and with onboard audio disabled. This lead to an incrementation of external sound card indices. The appearance of the KMS HDMI sound cards is now aligned with the onboard firmware HDMI sound cards, i.e. if not onboard "auto" or HDMI is selected in dietpi-config, now the KMS HDMI sound devices are disabled as well, making use of the "noaudio" device tree overlay parameter.
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where on first boot, choice and preference menu selections triggered an error as the install state file did not exist yet. Many thanks to @bsheeres for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5080
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where the deprecated AUTO_SETUP_FILE_SERVER_INDEX dietpi.txt option was applied inverted. "-1" should have installed ProFTPD and "-2" Samba, while it was done the opposite way. However, note that this setting is not present on current images and deprecated. Use AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID instead to mark any one or multiple file servers for automatic install. Many thanks to @bsheeres for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5081
- DietPi-Software | Browsers: On the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi models Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero (1) since Bullseye, Chromium and Firefox fail to start due to hardware and build limitations which are outside of our control. Since those are currently the only two browser available from dietpi-software, they have been disabled together with the browser preference menu for those systems, until we find and implement a good additional compatible browser. Further info: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/chromium-browser/issues/21
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Resolved an issue where subsequent Kodi reinstalls created duplicates of the CMA parameter for the KMS overlay setting in config.txt. The duplicates are patched out during DietPi update.
- DietPi-Software | Docker: Resolved an issue where the install was aborted due to an incorrect check for missing kernel modules. Many thanks to @dragonandy for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5061
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue where the teleporter import log was not shown but denied by the X-Frame-Options header: https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/unable-to-restore-teleporter-backup-fresh-install-no-funky-changes-made/51573
- DietPi-Software | Blynk Server: Resolved an issue on ARMv6 RPi models where the install failed as the latest Blynk Server release does not contain a Java 8 build. Since the older Java 8 build does not contain a native Log4Shell vulnerability mitigation, it is added server-wise on these systems.
- DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI: Resolved an issue on Bullseye (and above) systems where "mycroft-cli-client" command fails with a permissions issue, even as root user. Many thanks to @berndverhofstadt for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5100
- DietPi-Software | Nukkit: Resolved an issue where the install failed due to a changed download URL. The Jenkins instance has moved to ci.opencollab.dev, where also the Geyser and Floodgate projects are hosted.
- DietPi-Software | FuguHub: Resolved an issue where the uninstall failed as the process was not stopped as intended. Many thanks to @kd9352 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5058
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Resolved an issue where the installation failed due to an updated dependency. Many thanks to @supersexy for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5115
- DietPi-Software | Python 3: Worked around an issue where the pip reinstall failed. Many thanks to @hueppinr for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5117
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: Resolved an issue where the "unbound-resolvconf" service applied localhost automatically as local nameserver, if the "resolvconf" package was installed. Since often Unbound is installed in combination with Pi-hole or AdGuard Home, and those are usually used by network clients only, not the server itself, "unbound-resolvconf" is disabled now on Unbound installs. If Unbound is wanted as local resolver as well, it should be explicitly configured, e.g. via dietpi-config network options. Many thanks to @Ianszh for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5133
- DietPi-Software | Mosquitto: Applied a workaround on ARMv6 where the latest Mosquitto packages from the official APT repository are not ARMv6-compatible. Many thanks to @thomasmockridge for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5140
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5146
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.9
(2021-12-11)
Stretch support:
- This is the last DietPi release with support for Debian Stretch. Next release will be DietPi v8.0 which requires Debian Buster or newer. Read our article about why we need to make this move and how you can easily upgrade your system to Debian Buster and even further to current stable Debian Bullseye: https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=1001
Changes:
- Raspberry Pi | Since Bullseye, some media software titles, most importantly FFmpeg and those which make use of FFmpeg libraries compiled for Raspberry Pi firmware (Kodi, Jellyfin, Chromium), utilise the Raspberry Pi V4L2 codec drivers. Those were previously enabled/disabled with the RPi camera module switch in dietpi-config. The hardware codec drivers have now become an own CLI command and menu switch in the dietpi-config display options and are enabled automatically when one of the mentioned software titles is installed or reinstalled on Bullseye (or above).
- DietPi-Dashboard | On fresh installs, password protection is now enabled by default, using the global software password. You can apply or change this manually by following the instructions in our documentation: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/system_stats/#dietpi-dashboard
- DietPi-Dashboard | The default TCP network port has been changed from 8088 to 5252 to resolve a port conflict with InfluxDB. This does not affect existing installs, but you will be asked whether to apply this change during DietPi update. Many thanks to @blablazzz for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4966
- DietPi-Backup | A backup archive with a selectable amount of backups to keep can be created now. Backups are rotated automatically and if the maximum amount has been reached, the oldest backup is used as basis for the incremental new backup sync, to reduce writes and increase speed. Many thanks to @johnvick and many others for requesting this feature.
- DietPi-Backup | Backups can now be stored outside of /mnt into any directory or mount point as long as the filesystem supports symlinks and UNIX permissions.
- DietPi-Software | The file server choice menu has been removed. Most file servers can run concurrently, hence it is not required to remove e.g. a Samba server to install an FTP server, so that a dedicated menu lost its reason. File servers can be selected the regular way via "Browse/Search Software" menus or CLI. The related dietpi.txt setting has been removed for new images as well, but it will still be respected when present. For an automated install with new images, use the "AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID" setting instead.
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: For fresh installs, file logging has been disabled in favour of journal logging. All service and process logs can hence now be reviewed via: journalctl -u sabnzbd
- DietPi-Software | Apache: Fresh installs and reinstalls will be configured with PHP-FPM instead of mod_php. As a requirement, the event MPM is used instead of prefork. This reduces memory usage and increases access performance significantly on concurrent requests, as the Apache parent process does not need to fork a new child process for every single process. We further optimised it by spawning a single static child process only while handling concurrent requests by a sufficient amount of process threads. This allows Apache to share memory efficiently and makes it quite lightweight. There are no downsides known when using a single process only, compared to multiple processes with less threads each. Related StackExchange questions: https://superuser.com/questions/1611015/apache2-mpm-event-more-threads-vs-more-processes
- DietPi-Software | Apache: Our default/base configuration is now added as separate file, so that the main apache2.conf is not touched anymore. Furthermore the default vhost is now pre-created before the package install, so that it can be skipped on a reinstall to not overwrite user customisations. These in combination allow for a safe and clean reinstall without breaking any changes done by the admin, with the little exception that the webroot is set to /var/www which is required for all our software options which make use of an external webserver.
- DietPi-Software | Apache: Our new default config provides maximum privacy settings and security headers. It is trivial to override these with own configurations, on vhost or directory level.
- DietPi-Software | Apache: Logging is now done to journal (journalctl -u apache2) by default and the ServerName directive added with the local IP, to mute related startup warnings. This may imply access and CORS failures when applications check for the server name as allowed hostname but a different external IPs/hostnames was used for access. In such case generally applications provide a way to define a list of permitted hostnames. Without a server name set, usually webserver simply apply the HTTP_HOST header, which bypasses every related check. Apache, according to the logged warning, seems to use 127.0.1.1 then.
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: On Raspberry Pi Bullseye systems, the new official Raspberry Pi repository build for Kodi 19.3 is now installed. You can apply the upgrade manually by reinstalling Kodi: dietpi-software reinstall 31
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: The addon repository is now installed by default with all Kodi installs, which previously was the case only on RPi and Odroids. When currently missing, it can be manually installed: apt install kodi-repository-kodi
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: The service runs now as dedicated user "gitea" with its home directory "/mnt/dietpi_userdata/gitea" to allow easy transfer and usage of SSH keys for remote access. This applies to newly installed or reinstalled Gitea instances. Many thanks to @LilTrublMakr for reporting the related limitation with the previously used "dietpi" user: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4620
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: On Raspberry Pi, the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package is now installed together with Chromium, which adds additional codecs for patented video/audio formats. Many thanks to @Krawei for identifying this Chromium video playback enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5013
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: By default on fresh installs, rTorrent now listens on TCP port 49164 for incoming BitTorrent connections. Aside of DHT, listening for incoming connections was completely disabled before, which lead to slow or no peer connections, depending on the tracker used. Many thanks to @Camry2731 for reporting this inconsistency with our other BitTorrent server options.
Fixes:
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue in our images where on first boot two serial login consoles on the generic symlinked and actual serial devices could have been started. This doubled inputs and in turn broke successful username and password login via serial console on first boot. Many thanks to @ad7718 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5014
- DietPi-Backup | Resolved an issue where backup and restore failed if a non-default backup location is used, as a wrong log file path was used. This is a v7.8 regression. Many thanks to @Malinka for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where enabling the "odroid-lcd35" LCD panel on Odroids failed as SPI is enabled by default, blocking the same GPIO ports. Many thanks to @MarcProux for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4154
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where the network adapter menu did not show the static DNS server(s) effetively applied at first boot based on dietpi.txt settings. Many thanks to @nils-trubkin for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5054
- DietPi-Software | Resolved a v7.8 regression where ReadyMedia, Deluge, Sonarr and Jellyfin installs failed with an error on "usermod", since the services were not stopped first. This has been loved via live patches for v7.8 as well.
- DietPi-Software | Transmission: Resolved a v7.8 regression where on fresh installs the intended configuration was not deployed. Many thanks to @kannz and @alessandro.psrt for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Resolved an issue where installs failed on ARMv6 and ARMv7 Stretch systems. Many thanks to @bensp for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4997
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Worked around an issue on Raspberry Pi ARMv6 userland systems where the service failed to start. Deluge has hence been re-enabled for this systems. Many thanks to @themagicbullet for providing the workaround: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4944
- DietPi-Software | UnRAR: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi 1 an Zero (1) where an incompatible "unrar" binary was installed. "unrar-free" from Raspbian is installed now on these models, but note that it does not fully support all RAR formats and may hence fail to extract archives in some cases.
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Resolved an issue where with Apache webserver the /RPC2 proxy to the rTorrent UNIX socket did not work due to invalid syntax. Many thanks to @Camry2731 for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | RealVNC: Updated/fixed the workaround for a failing first start of RealVNC due to a cleared password file. Many thanks to @xmicky for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5050
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/5053
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.8
(2021-11-13)
New SBC support:
- Radxa Zero | Initial support for this Raspberry Pi Zero form factored (but way more powerful) SBC has been added to DietPi with the hardware ID 74. Many thanks to @almirus and @dhry for helping with testing and debugging an early image: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4831
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W | Initial support for this Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W successor has been added, using hardware ID 3 for now (shared with RPi 3/3+), including overclocking profiles. Many thanks to @CassTG for providing early hardware information and doing intensive overclocking tests.
Removed SBC support:
- Odroid N1 | There is not a single reported DietPi Odroid N1 system, which makes sense as this model was never really released. Only a small number of developer samples are floating around, not worth to keep maintaining an image and dedicated code. If there are unreported Odroid N1 DietPi systems out there, they will be automatically migrated to the Generic Rockchip RK3399 device ID on DietPi update.
New software:
- DietPi-Dashboard | Thanks to the great work of @ravenclaw900, we are proud to announce our own official DietPi web interface for monitoring and managing your DietPi system using your web browser. It is still in beta phase as we test and gradually implement more features. We would be happy if you would try it out via "dietpi-software install 200" and give us feedback: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/448
Removed software:
- Subsonic | Since it is not developed anymore and due to shared library dependencies only compatible with Debian Stretch, we removed Subsonic from DietPi-Software. With Airsonic-Advanced, we'll provide a well maintained and Bullseye-compatible alternative soon. If you currently have Subsonic installed, it will remain. If you want to uninstall it, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4895
- emonHub | Since we do not have a single reported installation, we removed emonHub from DietPi-Software. If you currently have emonHub installed, it will remain. If you want to keep using and updating it, have a look at the official repository at https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonhub. If you want to uninstall it, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4895
Changes:
- DietPi-Config | Overclocking profiles for most Raspberry Pi models have been updated to match the effective 100 MHz ARM/CPU frequency steps used by current firmware. Also an energy saving profile has been added to some models, which reduces minimum and maximum voltage a little, reducing energy consumption and heat emission a little on idle and on load.
- DietPi-Config | The option to prefer IPv4 connections when IPv6 is enabled has been removed: This only worked for APT and wget, while e.g. cURL and ping were never affected by this setting, which meant an inconsistent behaviour. If one faces issues with IPv6 enabled, it should be simply disabled instead of preferring/forcing IPv4 only for specific tools.
- DietPi-Backup | A feature has been added to enable daily system backup via cron job. Many thanks to @Lycidias93 for suggesting this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3871
- DietPi-Backup | Rsync/transfer logs are now done to "dietpi-backup.log" inside of the backup directory. This way they remain persistent even if DietPi-RAMlog is enabled and can be reviewed at a later time. This is helpful especially when daily backups via cron job are enabled, where the log obviously is not presented directly when the backup finished. A related option to review the last transfer log has been added to the dietpi-backup main menu. The old log file /var/log/dietpi-backup.log is moved to the new location if any backup exists during next DietPi update.
- DietPi-Backup | When using an NFS mount as backup target, it is now verified that the NFS share supports UNIX permissions to prevent the creation of a broken system backup in the first place.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | When transferring the DietPi user data to a different drive, it is now checked whether the target location is located within a supported filesystem type, one with native symlink and UNIX permission support. The same is done when using the CLI script /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_userdata.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Transferring the root filesystem is now supported on Odroid C4/HC4 models.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | The option to transfer the root filesystem is now shown as well when the drive does not contain any filesystem. The process implies formatting with a supported filesystem anyway which makes the condition obsolete. Also it is not needed anymore to unmount the filesystem manually first, as this is done automatically before formatting. In the related format menu, only supported filesystems are listed, i.e. ext4 and additionally F2FS on Raspberry Pi. The input box to enter a custom mount point is omitted as it is only temporarily used until the root filesystem transfer has finished. The swap file is not disabled anymore as it can be copied and reused as is on the new root filesystem without issues.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | When transferring the root filesystem, further checks are performed: There needs to be a dedicated boot partition (required on Raspberry Pi and default on our current Odroid images), as this is what the transfer steps expect and the only reason for moving only the root filesystem instead of cloning the whole drive or flashing the DietPi image to an external drive in the first place. The expected boot/kernel configuration files need to be present so that the kernel can be instructed to mount the new root filesystem. The DietPi user data must not currently be located at the target partition as it would be formatted and all data hence lost.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | On ext4 filesystems, the reserved blocks percentage is now shown and can be changed as well if the drive is not currently mounted.
- DietPi-RAMlog | The /var/log directory structure is now synced to the persistent disk storage after software installs and via daily cron job to prevent missing logs files or directories in case of unclean shutdowns, which usually lead to failing service startups.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Server: Added support for the new .NET core based version, released on November 3rd, which is expected to have improved performance compared to the old Mono based version. To resolve an old issue with our Roon Server implementation (see below), a reinstall is done during the DietPi update, which pulls in the .NET core dependencies as well. But this will NOT update the Roon Server version to prevent issues with potentially required migration steps. After updating DietPi, use Roon's internal updater to benefit from the new version.
Fixes:
- Raspberry Pi | Worked around an issue on Raspberry Pi ARMv6/7 Bullseye systems where some software failed to start, e.g. RealVNC, if binaries were compiled against an older libraspberrypi0 version with different shared library names.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where resizing F2FS filesystems failed when currently mounted. Contradicting the docs and error output, mounting the filesystem read-only is not sufficient, but it needs to be unmounted instead, which is now done automatically before the resize and remounted afterwards.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where resizing ext4 filesystems could have failed when not currently mounted. Especially if the drive is newly attached, a full fsck needs to be done once before it can be resized. This is now done automatically, allowing to resolve filesystem errors interactively, before resizing an offline ext4 filesystem.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where Raspberry Pi 4 overclocking profiles were offered on Raspberry Pi 400. A new set of profiles have now been added dedicated for the Raspberry Pi 400.
- DietPi-Software | IceCast: Resolved an issue where a new install failed due to an attempted operation on a non-existing file. Many thanks to @killtux for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4858
- DietPi-Software | Logitech Media Server: Resolved an issue where the uninstall failed as the package postinst script tried to remove the service user before the service was stopped.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Server: Resolved an issue where the internal updater purged all Roon Server data and configs, since the data directory was located within the install directory. Roon Server will now be installed to /opt/roonserver while the data directory remains at /mnt/dietpi_userdata/roonserver. This change will be applied via DietPi update as well, your data and configs will remain untouched. Many thanks to @JanKoudijs for reporting this issue and providing a solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4897
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue where on some cases on first desktop start, desktop icons were missing and another issue on Bullseye systems, where a "No session for pid" error message popped up on desktop start. Many thanks to @kerryland for reporting these issues: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4914
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue where the Firefox browser panel icon was present even if no Firefox was installed. In this case now either Chromium or the text editor is added as replacement.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where the install failed on ARMv6/ARMv7 Bullseye systems.
- DietPi-Software | Tor Relay: This software option has been disabled on Stretch. The Tor package shipped by the Debian Stretch repository is too old to support required protocols of the Tor network, when running a relay. Many thanks to @cptechnik for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4925
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Resolved an issue where on fresh installs the services failed due to an invalid config file syntax. Many thanks to @bookedirl for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: As the package from Raspbian Bullseye currently fails, we needed to disable Deluge for Raspberry Pi systems with ARMv6 Bullseye image. The bug has been reported to the Raspbian maintainers and we hope for a fix until next DietPi release: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4944
- DietPi-Software | Lighttpd: Resolved an issue where reinstalls on a Bullseye system with DietPi-LetsEncrypt used, erroneously enabled an SSL configuration which could prevent the service start.
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4951
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.7
(2021-10-16)
Removed software:
- CouchPotato | Sadly, the CouchPotato project is not maintained anymore and has been abandoned. In turn we removed it from DietPi. The instance installed on your system will remain, but it cannot be installed, reinstalled or uninstalled anymore. We recommend to migrate to an alternative project, like Radarr, which can be found in DietPi-Software was well. Manual CouchPotato uninstall instructions: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4323#issuecomment-927128724
Changes:
- General | The /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details script has been removed, including the related /run/dietpi/.network file to obtain network details. All uses of these files have been replaced with the new DietPi-Globals G_GET_NET function (see below).
- DietPi-Globals | A new global function G_GET_NET has been added to print network interface details. Most importantly it prints info for the main interface, by following the priorities of /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details: default gateway => state UP => IP assigned, but allows to additionally filter by IP family, type, interface name or print the default gateway explicitly. It aims to be a replacement for /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details with more flexibility and to allow deriving always up-to-date interface info instead of depending on the correctness of a cache file.
- DietPi-Globals | G_GET_WAN_IP: We use our own GEO IP service now to show the systems WAN IP and location in the DietPi banner and DietPi-VPN. When Pi-hole was used, with a previous update, "freegeoip.app" was added to Pi-hole's whitelist, which now is not required anymore. You may hence remove that entry from the whitelist.
- DietPi-Globals | The global functions G_DEV_1 and G_DEV_BENCH have been removed, which did exist for testing and development only but are not used in our current workflows.
- DietPi-TimeSync | Use the same flag file that systemd-timesyncd itself uses since Buster, to skip an additional service restart and sync when it was done already.
- DietPi-TimeSync | When our oneshot modes (boot only, hourly, daily) are selected, systemd-timesyncd is now "enabled" to be started by systemd earlier at boot, instead of on our script call. Especially since both now share the same flag file (on Buster and above), this has a chance to prevent an additional service restart if the time sync has finished already when PostBoot is reached.
- DietPi-Boot | This script and service has been removed: Waiting for network is now done via DietPi-PostBoot "After=network-online.target", time sync is done in DietPi-PostBoot, but in background (mostly not required for service starts) and pre-installed image stage handling is as well done in PostBoot now.
- DietPi-Update | A network connection and time sync check is now done before checking for updates, similar to how DietPi-Software does it on installs.
- DietPi-Login | The DietPi banner on login won't be shown anymore if ~/.hushlogin exists, which is a common method to prevent the shell from printing /etc/motd on login and should hence be respected for the DietPi banner as well. Many thanks to @dnknth for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4786
- DietPi-JustBoom | Added the ability to enforce an output channel count, or to not enforce an audio format value to preserve the input stream format or leave conversion up to ALSA, which is now the default when resetting settings. Similarly, the audio output buffer can now be unset to keep the MPD default. Generally, if not required for a specific reason, it is recommended to not convert the audio stream and keep these settings unchanged/default.
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Logging is not done to /var/log/deluged/ anymore but to journal instead, accessible via "journalctl -u deluged -u deluge-web". This change only affects new installs and reinstalls of Deluge.
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: On fresh installs, the web interface is now accessible as expected with the chosen global software password, stored hashed with a fresh random salt. Previously the password was hardcoded to "dietpi".
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: On Debian Bullseye, with Kodi 19, GBM support is present by default, which means that Kodi can be started without a wrapping X server. This is now done by default when starting Kodi outside of a desktop session, including the dietpi-autostart option. This also means that an X server is not installed anymore as a dependency of Kodi, but only as a dependency of a desktop environment.
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: It can now be installed on all devices. In some cases, video playback performance may be bad, depending on the GPU, whether good drivers are available, and on the video quality, of course. However, it should be our users who evaluate whether it's sufficient or not, instead of us. With Debian Bullseye, new Mesa drivers and Kodi 19 started via GBM, performance should be much better than it was with older Debian/package versions.
- DietPi-Software | File Browser: The default network port has been changed to 8084 to resolve a conflict with HTPC Manager. This only affects new File Browser installs. Many thanks to @KamikazeePL for reporting this issue.
Fixes:
- General | Since the Armbian repository router does not reliably preserves HTTPS on redirects yet, APT by times fails when detecting a downgrade from HTTPS to HTTP. We hence change the armbian.list to use plain HTTP until the issues with the router have been resolved.
- General | Worked around an issue on Debian Stretch where "systemctl enable/disable --now" does not start/stop the service in certain circumstances. This is solved within our error handler "G_EXEC", hence when manually calling systemctl you may still face this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4815
- General | Applied a workaround on Bullseye systems with older Linux versions (v4.14 and below) which do not sufficiently support the new "unified cgroup hierarchy" (a.k.a. cgroups-v2). Since the newer systemd tries to use it automatically, Docker and similar software which make use of cgroups fail. For devices with known boot configuration file, the kernel command line arguments are applied to force the legacy cgroups hierarchy usage.
- DietPi-Backup | Resolved an issue where clearing the PATH cache via "hash" command did not work as of a wrong command line argument: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4800
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Resolved an issue where the script failed when ownCloud or Nextcloud were installed. Many thanks to @billouetaudrey for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4752
- DietPi-JustBoom | Resolved an issue where applying some MPD settings did not work. Many thanks to @elevader for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where the WiFi connection state could have been obtained falsely as accidentally the Ethernet interface index was used to derive it.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on NanoPi NEO (and likely other Allwinner H3 SBCs) where selecting a sound card failed as an invalid control was tried to be set. Many thanks to @VS-X for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4833
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where software services failed with a cryptic error message, when an expected directory was not present. This was especially reported with Sonarr and Radarr, if their log directory was missing for some reason. When directories are missing, which are explicitly listed to be read-writeable within the systemd service, systemd prints "Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning", while Sonarr and Radarr themselves would print a clearer error message about the missing log directory. Many thanks to @stevewitz for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Lighttpd: Resolved an issue where the upgrade from Buster to Bullseye, following our guide, fails if HTTPS was enabled via DietPi-LetsEncrypt before. Many thanks to @fhals for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Resolved an issue on RPi ARMv8/64-bit systems where Kodi fails to start when it was installed without a desktop. Many thanks to @Klola for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Resolved an issue on Bullseye where the web interface service did not start as a new command line flag "-d" is required to keep it in foreground. Many thanks to @quyentruong for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4785
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: The Python version compiled with Home Assistant has been bumped to v3.9.7, which resolves and issue with installs on 32-bit ARM systems. Many thanks to @Przemek for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4372#issuecomment-936656595
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where Home Assistant did not start on ARM systems due to newly required runtime libraries.
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: Resolved an issue where the autostart option didn't work if Chromium was installed without a desktop. Many thanks to @jowelboy for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: Resolved an issue on RPi where starting Chromium failed if no desktop was installed, due to a missing dependency. Many thanks to @Loader23 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4782
- DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Resolved an issue with Odroid N2 and C4 models where the installation failed because of a typo. Many thanks to @wiml for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4830
- DietPi-Software | Airsonic: Since the project has been archived and does not support Java 17, it has been disabled on Bullseye. We're watching a fork (https://github.com/airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced) which is actively developed and which is Java 17 compatible. We currently still face some major issues so that we needed to postpone the migration. Many thanks to @Andaloup for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4847
- DietPi-Software | FreshRSS: Resolved an issue where on reinstalls nested /opt/FreshRSS/FreshRSS-master and /opt/FreshRSS/p/p were created. Since FreshRSS has an internal updater, reinstalls won't download and install the new version as long as /opt/FreshRSS is present already. The nested directory and link is removed on next DietPi update, when present. Many thanks to @kinoushe for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4775
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4840
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.6
(2021-09-18)
Changes:
- General | Initial detection and support for Debian 12 Bookworm (the new "testing" version) has been added to DietPi. Everyone is invited to upgrade to Bookworm to stay on bleeding edge. Just note that due to continued breaking changes coming with package upgrades, some features and software installs are broken or will break. We are happy to receive your bug report then, to have necessary changes implemented in DietPi as fast as breaking changes in Bookworm happen, until it becomes the new stable Debian release, expected in summer 2023.
- DietPi-FS_partition_resize | On first boot, DietPi automatically expands the root partition and filesystem to cover the full disk size. In some circumstances, e.g. on older kernel versions, it may happen that the two used commands "partprobe" and "partx -u" fail to inform the kernel about the changed partition table and hence the filesystem is not expanded. In such case, the system is now rebooted automatically once to assure that the new partition table is loaded and the filesystem is then expanded. This change affects only new images with contain DietPi v7.6 already, since this expansion is done before DietPi updates itself. Many thanks to @Dtrieb for reporting a case where the filesystem expansion failed: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4582
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Native Linux exFAT support is now detected and respected by skipping the obsolete FUSE driver install in case. Additionally the new "exfatprogs" are installed on Bullseye, written and implemented with Debian Bullseye along with the native Linux exFAT implementation.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | exFAT mounts now have 775 mode and are owned by the "dietpi" group, if it was not manually removed. By default, when the FUSE driver is used, mounts have 777 mode so that all users have full access, which isn't optimal for security reasons. With native Linux exFAT support mounts have 755 mode by default, so that DietPi-Software's download and media software implementations don't have write access. "775 root:dietpi" is a good compromise if the "dietpi" group exists, matching the permissions for content directories in /mnt/dietpi_userdata. Many thanks to @K92Pi for reporting a related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4680
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Added support for moving the root filesystem to a different drive on Odroid N2.
- DietPi-AutoStart | A new autostart option "Custom script (foreground, with autologin)" has been added, which executes the custom script "/var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh" after being logged in with the chosen user automatically, in foreground on the main screen. To have it more reasonably separated, the previous custom script option has been changed to "Custom script (background, no autologin)", which is executed via systemd service, independently of any login state like before, but does not print to foreground console anymore. Instead output goes to journal (journalctl -u dietpi-autostart_custom) like most other systemd services do. The foreground mode now behaves like most other foreground/GUI autostart options, launches after autologin at the main screen (TTY1) and, if it's a long running process, it can be cancelled via CTRL+C, just like CAVA or DietPi-CloudShell. If one wants to run a custom script in foreground on the main screen before/independent of a login, placing it into /var/lib/dietpi/postboot.d/ is another option. All contained scripts are executed at the end of the boot sequence as root user on the main screen, without any manual login required. Many thanks to @scorgn for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4634
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC: Instead of x11vnc, TigerVNC's own scraping server is now used for shared desktop mode, which is a bit lighter and shares a lot of libraries with the TigerVNC standalone server package.
- DietPi-Software | RealVNC: Having desktop autologin enabled does not force the shared desktop VNC mode anymore. Furthermore our "vncserver.service" does not call RealVNC's "vncserver-x11-serviced.service" for the shared desktop mode, but instead the actual vncserver-x11 executable is called directly. This has some benefits, e.g. it allows to use our service for a virtual desktop while using RealVNC's service to allow connections to the shared local desktop independently. Many thanks to @K92Pi for bringing this idea to us: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4672
- DietPi-Software | RealVNC: The VNC server is now started with "VncAuth" authentication by default, which allows any VNC viewer to connect, not just RealVNC's ones. Use "vncpasswd" to change the password, which is now independent of the UNIX user passwords. It defaults to the global software password on a fresh install.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Due to changes in DietPi v7.5, enabling Amiberry fast boot won't change the TTY for boot/kernel on Raspberry Pi anymore, as they do not directly interfere with Amiberry screen output anymore. But due to this change, during screen mode changes, the raw console output is visible for a short time, which breaks the Amiga feeling. To address the issue, instead of changing the kernel command line (cmdline), Amiberry will now switch to a different expectedly empty TTY on startup and switch back to the main TTY when being stopped, including the case of failure. As this is achieved with the Amiberry service itself, the Amiberry standard boot option benefits from it as well, as well as manual "systemctl start amiberry" calls, all the same way, and it is not limited to the Raspberry Pi, as the previous TTY change was. Many thanks to @zompiexx for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4692
- DietPi-Software | MPD: The service file and default mpd.conf are not overwritten anymore (from Buster on), but instead the required changes are added to the default, shipped with the Debian package. This resolves some error messages on MPD startup on Bullseye and leaves most custom changes untouched on a reinstall. Furthermore, by default MPD now logs to journal, accessible via "journalctl -u mpd". Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting the MPD startup errors: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4690
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Our Raspberry Pi accelerated Kodi package is now installed on ARMv7 RPi systems as well.
New Software:
- Box64 | This x86_64 user space emulator allows you to run x86_64 binaries on an ARMv8/arm64 system. It works very similar to Box86, hence is able to use arm64 shared libraries with the x86_64 binaries, so that often no additional libraries need to be installed. Thanks to binfmt, it is invoked automatically if an x86_64 binary is tried to be executed. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this software title: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4625
- File Browser | Access and manage your data from anywhere via browser with this lightweight remote file manager. Other than ownCloud and Nextcloud, it accesses the raw data on your filesystem, based on a chosen root directory, which makes it similar to Syncthing. You can setup multiple users with their own root directory and also sharing files and directories via password-protected link is possible.
- Spotifyd | Spotifyd streams music just like the official client, but is more lightweight. It also supports the Spotify Connect protocol, which makes it show up as a device that can be controlled from the official clients. Many thanks to @ressu for implementing this software title: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4713
Fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue on ARMv7 Buster and Bullseye system, where the haveged entropy daemon crashes due to limited syscall permissions. This can lead to several issues, like hanging boot, hanging installs or services starts. Many thanks to @jg777 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4710
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Corrected false information when doing an exFAT filesystem check & repair: Until Stretch, only checking for exFAT errors is supported but not repairing them. From Buster on, both is fully supported.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where on Odroid C2 moving the root filesystem to a different drive failed. Many thanks to @yandritos for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4733
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | When enabling HTTPS redirect or HSTS and ownCloud or Nextcloud are installed, the "overwrite.cli.url" setting in the config.php is updated accordingly to contain the primary HTTPS domain. This is required for cron jobs and the occ/ncc commands to access ownCloud/Nextcloud through the webserver, as the Let's Encrypt certificate is only valid for the external domain name and not "localhost". Many thanks to @droogi for reporting a possibly related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4353
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC: Resolved an issue where remote connections didn't work by default on Bullseye systems, as a different configuration file is used.
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi where calling lxappearance (Customize Look and Feel) failed due to incompatible RPi desktop packages. Many thanks to @pinipon for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4687
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue on Bullseye where some icon themes could not be applied due to a missing SVG library. Many thanks to @pinipon for reporting the issue and solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4687
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue where the hotkey setup didn't work because of a missing openbox plugin. Many thanks to @pinipon for reporting the issue and solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4687
- DietPi-Software | Blynk: Resolved an issue where the log directory may be missing, which breaks the service start, when the userdata were migrated from one system to a new one. Many thanks to @Phil1988 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4721
- DietPi-Software | qBittorrent: Resolved an issue on Bullseye systems where login to the web interface was not possible with the global software password since the required hash algorithm has changed. Many thanks to @aftensleuk for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | ReadyMedia: Resolved an issue on Bullseye where the service does not start unless the log directory is manually created. Due to a Debian package patch, on Bullseye logs are forced to file logging again, so that /var/log/minidlna again needs to exist. Many thanks to @AnzoP for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4745

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.5
(2021-08-21)
Changes:
- DietPi-Globals | A new global function G_GET_WAN_IP has been added to print the public IP and location info. This function is now used by DietPi-Banner and DietPi-VPN to show the public IP. It makes use of the public API at freegeoip.app, which may also be used by malware, like all public APIs, and may hence be present in public blocklists. The function checks, whether this is the case, via curl's exit code, and in case prints a meaningful error message. Many thanks to @cocoflan for reporting the a related case: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4445
- DietPi-FirstBoot | On our x86_64 BIOS images, the GRUB bootloader is configured to install itself on upgrade to the "/dev/sda" drive, which is the most commonly used system drive path and there is no way to configure a unique identifier that is assured to match the later actual system drive. When GRUB is upgraded, and the configured drive path does not exist, or GRUB has doubts that it is the correct system drive, the upgrade will fail. If GRUB installs itself to the wrong drive, the actually booted GRUB version won't match the GRUB files on the root filesystem, which can make the system unbootable. To enhance the situation, on first boot, DietPi detects the apparent system drive and changes the GRUB configuration accordingly. This will work on all our images, but note that on custom images it might be wrong: Generally it is possible to have the bootloader installed on one drive, but the root filesystem stored on a different physical drive, and we have no possibility to reliable detect this case. Many thanks to @brianbloom for reporting the issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4542
- DietPi-Software | Java: This install option has now been split into the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) and the JDK (Java Development Kit). As our Java-written software options require the JRE only, this saves over 200 MiB of additional JDK-related disk space. For developers, however, the JDK stays with the same software ID.
- DietPi-Software | Cuberite: Re-applied the official binary on ARMv6 systems (Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero). Since those did not support ARMv6 in the past, we installed an old self-hosted binary, but now the latest official one can be used. Many thanks to @tigerw for letting us know about the change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3664#issuecomment-901261614
- DietPi-Software | Lidarr: Where supported (on all platforms but Raspberry Pi 1/Zero), the .NET core build build is now installed, which makes the dedicated Mono runtime obsolete and should generally perform better. This migration is applied automatically during the DietPi update, your settings and data remain untouched. Many thanks for informing us about this possible enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4607
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Since Minecraft 1.17 requires Java 16 or newer, it does not work anymore on Debian versions below Bullseye and not on ARMv6, with the Java builds we ship, and has hence been disabled for those systems. AdoptOpenJDK is currently in the process of becoming "Adoptium" and creating a new APT repository, after which we can migrate to re-enable support on older Debian versions. On ARMv6 however I most likely won't work and the newest found Java build above version 8, running on ARMv6, is a single Zulu Java 11 build.
New Software:
- Java JRE | The OpenJDK Java Runtime Environment has been made available as dedicated software option with ID 196 (see changes above).
Fixes:
- DietPi-Software | Blynk Server: Resolved an issue where the install failed as the previous official repository has been removed by Blynk Inc. We switched to a fork, created hours before the repository removal, to preserve the install option and save users from being forced to use the commercial cloud servers. But note that there is no guarantee that the official apps will keep supporting it for long. In case older versions of the apps might need to be used.
- DietPi-Software | Roon Extension Manager: Resolved an issue where the installer failed when dietpi-software was executed with sudo as unprivileged user. The installer internally uses the SUDO_USER variable to perform some tasks, which fails to download the container startup shell script, as only root can write to the download location. Many thanks to @Esad-np for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4462
- DietPi-Software | Java JRE: Resolved an issue where the install failed on ARMv6: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4509#issuecomment-876413815
- DietPi-Software | Java JRE: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Raspbian Bullseye systems, since Raspbian has no compiled Java 17 packages yet.
- DietPi-Software | VSCodium: Added the missing dependency on ALSA for cases where no desktop is installed and VSCodium is started as standalone X server session. Many thanks to @Gill-Bates for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4610
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Resolved an issue where the install failed, as assets have been moved into an own repository, bundled with now release downloads. Many thanks to @psi5asp for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4615
- DietPi-Software | phpSysInfo: Resolved an issue where the install failed because of a changed download URL. Many thanks to @robex for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi Bullseye systems, where the install failed. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4555#issuecomment-898780672
- DietPi-Software | PiJuice: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Bullseye systems. Many thanks for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4643
- DietPi-Software | LXQt: Resolved an issue where the install failed on Bullseye systems. Many thanks to @LieDanG for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4656
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Resolved an issue where the install failed due to missing build dependencies.
- DietPi-Software | ProFTPD: Resolved an issue where the service start failed on Bullseye systems due to an invalid config entry. Many thanks to @twikedk for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4666
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Resolved an issue where the install failed on ARMv6 Bullseye images, as neither Raspbian nor the Raspberry Pi repository contain a Kodi package yet. We ship now an own package. Many thanks to @sibofax for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4650
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4668
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.4
(2021-07-24)
Changes:
- DietPi-Update | A new live patching system has been implemented. This allows us to ship little fixes and updates, that are safe to apply with a one-line command, until the next DietPi version is released. Live patches are checked for together with DietPi updates and a notification is shown in the login banner as well, when new live patches have been found. When available, each patch can be individually applied or dismissed and the login banner won't bother you again about patches that you have seen in the dietpi-update menu already, regardless whether you applied them or not.
- DietPi-Globals | G_AGUP: Our "apt-get update" wrapper will now throw an error, when some index files couldn't be downloaded, e.g. due to DNS failure. Currently "apt-get update" prints a warning but does not return an error code. It is better to have an error handler prompt here, where we have an associated command output, than later when package installs or upgrades fail because of outdated information or missing list files.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: On ARMv6/7, piwheels.org is now used within pyenv, which ships pre-compiled wheels for many Python modules and by this speeds up the installation, first service start and install of new integrations.
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Updated config steps to work with the new myMPD v8.0.0. Many thanks to @jcorporation for informing us about this major update and how to adjust our config steps: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4562
- DietPi-Software | Komga: Obsolete entries have been removed from the default config and file hashing will be disabled on new installs. Many thanks to @quyentruong for contributing this change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4570
New Software:
- Synapse | A Matrix homeserver implementation has been added with software ID 125.
- PostgreSQL | A persistent advanced object-relational database server has been added with software ID 194.
- youtube-dl | The famous command-line program to download videos from YouTube and other video platforms has been added to DietPi-Software with ID 195.
Fixes:
- Debian Stretch | Since Armbian dropped support for Debian Stretch from their APT repository, Armbian-based Stretch systems will have their APT sources adjusted to pull kernel, device tree, bootloader and firmware packages from the Armbian Buster suite. These are compatible with all Debian versions and have no dependencies or dependants which could cause conflicts.
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Resolved an issue where remounting the /tmp tmpfs filesystem failed, if another filesystem type was mounted at /tmp. This could be especially the case during DietPi-PREP image creation. Many thanks to @timocapa for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4573#issuecomment-884993352
- DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Resolved an issue where the X server failed on PINE A64 as the wrong DDX driver packages were installed. Many thanks to @exadeci for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4541
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Resolved an issue where the install of Geyser and Floodgate plugins failed as the download link changed.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where install on ARMv6/7 failed if g++ was not installed.
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue where local/LAN access via IPv6 was blocked, when the option to block public access to the admin panel was selected. This does not work when global unicast IPv6 addresses (GUA) are used within the LAN, hence unique local addresses (ULA) needs to be enabled and used to access the Pi-hole admin panel. Many thanks to @dunxd for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4575
As always, many smaller code performance and stability improvements, visual and spelling fixes have been done, too much to list all of them here. Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4584
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v7.3
(2021-06-26)
Changes:
- DietPi-Automation | A new dietpi.txt setting "AUTO_SETUP_DHCP_TO_STATIC" has been added. When set to "1", DHCP leased network settings will be applied as static network settings automatically during first run setup. This works as well with older images, by adding the above setting to dietpi.txt.
- DietPi-Backup | The include/exclude filter handling has been reworked. /mnt (dietpi_userdata) and /media related rules are added now via the editable custom filter file, which gives users more control over these. Especially it allows to include other mount points below /mnt, hence external dietpi_userdata, which was previously impossible due to the order in which those filter rules are applied.
- DietPi-VPN | The killswitch has been adjusted to allow incoming SSH connections. Many thanks to @yslupdates for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4447
- DietPi-Config | Support for the Allo Boss2 DAC OLED display has been added to the "Display Options" > "LCD/OLED Panel addon" menu. When selecting the Allo Boss2 DAC as sound card, you will be asked whether to enable the OLED display as well.
- DietPi-Software | Allo web UI: Updated to v13.3 which adds support for the Allo Boss2 DAC and resolves an issue where the Squeezelite service could not be controlled as the service path has changed. All credits go to Allo for implementing these changes.
- DietPi-Software | Cuberite: This has been enabled for ARMv8 systems, where the available ARMv7 binaries work just fine.
