Raspberry Pi Cloud-Init for WiFi
Cloud-init is used for setting up an Ubuntu server installation with WiFi on a Raspberry Pi. It works without Ethernet cable by copying setup files to an SD card with a freshly written image.
This project is tested with
ubuntu-18.04.2-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz
downloaded from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi.
The scripts set up cloud-init using the boot partition on the installation SD card as a NoCloud datasource. A user account with key-authorized SSH login is prepared for the user running the config script.
Script preparations
- Customize the package selection in system-boot/cloud-init/packages.txt.
Setup procedure
- Run the script config.sh, answering any prompts, and check the output in
system-boot/cloud-init/user-data. - Write the Ubuntu server image to an SD card.
- Copy the contents of system-boot/ to the newly created boot partition on the SD card.
- Boot the Raspberry Pi with the SD card.
