v7.0
(2021-02-28)
Changes:
- DietPi-Update | A new update check system has been implemented, which checks for a minimum required Debian and DietPi version and migrates systems with either too old Debian version or too old DietPi version to a different Git branch automatically. This especially smoothens the migration of our code base to newer Debian versions and the alternative branch can be used to inform and support Debian distribution upgrades and to upgrade the DietPi code to an intermediate version from where the system can be migrated back to the regular stable/master branch. Since this change required a new repository version file, we took the chance and incremented the DietPi core version to v7.0. This however has no further meaning, all previously supported DietPi and Debian versions remain supported and the change enables us to not require fresh image installs for major upgrades, like the upgrade from v159 to v6.0 did a few years ago.
- Network | A change has been implemented on the order in which network-related systemd service targets are reached. "network.target" and "network-online.target" are now reach after all network interfaces have been configured, rather then already after only the loopback interface "lo" has been configured. This affects only systemd services which are not started by DietPi-Services, e.g. SSH/DNS/VPN/VNC servers, with the effect that they are assured to be able to bind to interfaces/IPs, where currently they would fail. The downside is, if one has an Ethernet adapter configured via dietpi-config or /etc/network/interfaces (as allow-hotplug device), but the cable not connected, affected services may be delayed until the interface bring-up timed out.
- DietPi-Backup | A new feature has been added which allows to automatically restore a dietpi-backup on first boot. For this set the new dietpi.txt option AUTO_SETUP_BACKUP_RESTORE=1, to get a list of found backups to select from (this does not work in combination with AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1). All attached drives are mounted temporarily and seached automatically. Set AUTO_SETUP_BACKUP_RESTORE=2 to have the first found backup restored non-interactively (this works in combination with AUTO_SETUP_AUTOMATED=1). The restore runs after the initial update, hence works with older images as well and can be done via SSH connection. Credits go to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/4112
- DietPi-Backup | Support for XFS and ZFS target file system types has been added, which fully support the required symlink and POSIX permissions capabilities.
- DietPi-Config | RPi: An option has been added to toggle the SPI interface. Many thanks to @incanus for resurrecting this old feature request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/98#issuecomment-783650204
- DietPi-Software | The mandatory reboot after installs has been removed. Installed services, which are not controlled by DietPi-Services, but would start automatically on reboot, are now started at the end of installs instead. A manual reboot is still a good idea, but strictly required only in rare cases. Many thanks to @Games-Crack for doing this suggesting: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4032
- DietPi-Software | Installs do not imply all APT package upgrades anymore. While we recommend to keep all APT packages upgraded regularly, the new daily APT check and info within the DietPi-Banner, helps to keep you informed to do the best decision youself whether and when to apply which package upgrade. On first run installs the full upgrade is however kept, to assure each image starts in fully upgraded state, and packages which are required for the actual software choices you're installing, are upgraded as well, when installed already.
- DietPi-Software | Uninstalls do not stop other services anymore. E.g. your webserver or media streaming server will stay active while you uninstall that other software that you don't require anymore. Since uninstalls do not require much RAM or CPU resources, this is perfectly fine. Many thanks to @mrgreaper giving the hint: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4116
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: On install in combination with Pi-hole, no additional configuration file will be created anymore but the adjusted interface binding and port will be applied to "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/dietpi.conf". Declaring "interface" in two configuration files do not override each other but lead to two concurrent bindings, which is not intended. The two files, if present, will be merged as well on DietPi update. It is hence intended that admins change "dietpi.conf" directly, if required, and this file won't be overwritten on reinstalls to preserve local changes. Additionally, on new installs, the configuration file will be better sorted and contain comments to explain their purpose.
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: On new installs, by default access is now granted to all private IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges instead of to the 192.168.0.0/16 subnet only, which includes VPNs, containers and cases of multiple local networks the server is attached to.
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: A monthly cron job is now created to keep the root hints file updated. Many thanks to @APraxx for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4077
- DietPi-Software | Python 3 pip: pip and pip-based installs on ARMv6 and ARMv7 boards will have the piwheels.org repository for pre-compiled wheels added automatically, which can reduce build dependencies and compile time dramatically.
- DietPi-Software | Node-RED: New installs and reinstalls with setup Node-RED as local module for the "nodered" service user, rather than as global system module/command. This allows upgrading and removing all related Node modules through the web interface, instead of just the ones which were installed via web interface. Additionally a console alias for the "node-red-admin" CLI command has been added so that running this command with any user will call the local Node-RED instance as "nodered" service user.
- DietPi-Software | Docker: The Docker APT repository is now installed manually instead of using the official Docker installer. This allows us to enable the Docker install option for Debian Bullseye systems, if only to allow widened testing of this upcoming Debian release with DietPi.
Interface Changes:
- DietPi-Banner | Running the script without input argument will now open the menu instead of printing the banner. The console alias has been adjusted accordingly, so that it is now possible to run "dietpi-banner 0" and "dietpi-banner 1" from console to have full and short banner versions printed. The "dietpi-banner" console command remains opening the menu.
New Software:
- DietPi-Software | Docker Compose: A tool to define and run multi-container Docker applications can now be installed through our software selection. Docker will be pulled in as dependency automatically.
- DietPi-Software | Box86: An x86 wrapper/emulator for ARMv7 systems is now available for install. Thanks to it's ability to wrap ARMv7 shared system libraries to be used with i386 binaries, often no additional libraries need to be installed. Thanks to binfmt, it will be invoked automatically when an i386 binary is executed.
- DietPi-Software | Steam: By automatically pulling in Box86 as dependency, Steam can now be installed on ARMv7 boards. It won't run perfectly stable yet and has limited features and game support, but we're optimistic that further improvements will address this in the future. Check out our documentation about it: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/gaming/#steam
- DietPi-Software | mjpg-streamer: Lightweight multi-source and multi-output plugin JPEG streamer, now available for install. By default your attached camera capture will be streamed to a custom HTTP port. When installed along with OctoPrint, both will be automatically configured to work together. The Raspberry Pi camera module support is enabled by default, when installed on Raspberry Pi.
Fixes:
- Audio | Resolved a bug with Debian Buster, where the ALSA state daemon was always running, even when it was not configured.
- DietPi-Globals | G_OBTAIN_CPU_TEMP: Negative temperatures are not trusted anymore, "N/A" will be printed instead. This allows a generic approach to fix/allow temperature estimation on further SBC models. Many thanks to @Thanapat for reporting a related issue on Roseapple Pi: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8677
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Resolve an issue where "zram"/"zram0" dietpi.txt path entries were dropped, when running the script without input arguments. This especially broke applying zram-swap on first boot. Many thanks to @Dr0bac for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4002
- DietPi-Software | Bitwarden_RS: Resolved an issue where the self-signed TLS certificate could not be imported on iOS. To apply this fix to an existing instance, the configuration file "/mnt/dietpi_userdata/bitwarden_rs/bitwarden_rs.env" needs to be removed or moved to a different location, so "dietpi-software reinstall 183" will re-create the configuration and TLS certificate.
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: Resolved an issue where during install in combination with Pi-hole the service restart could have failed. Many thanks to @Ernstian for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2409#issuecomment-739154892
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: Resolved an issue where the service start failed if the host system had a local IP address outside of the 192.168.0.0/16 subnet. Many thanks to @faxesystem for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2409#issuecomment-749174984
- DietPi-Software | ReadyMedia: Resolved an issue where the media library was not rescanned on service start. Many thanks to @AdamFarnsworth0 for reporting this issue: https://twitter.com/AdamFarnsworth0/status/1347977813635305475
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Resolved an issue where the install on Armbian-based images with RTL8188C* WiFi chip failed. Many thanks to @smogan71 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8523
- DietPi-Software | Medusa: This software option has been disabled on Stretch systems, since it now requires Python >=3.6, which is not available in the Debian Stretch repository. If you run Medusa on a Stretch system, it will continue to work, but updating will either not be possible or break it. Many thanks to @aermak for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3991
- DietPi-Software | WiringPi: Resolved an issue where the install failed, if the /usr/local/bin directory was not present. Many thanks to @bruz for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8609
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Resolved an issue where the install failed due to changed download URLs and stabilised service start and config creation by setting the Java heap size and allowing more time for the startup on smaller SBCs. Many thanks to @omavoss for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=30191#p30191
- DietPi-Software | OpenTyrian: The install option has been disabled on x86_64, since the Debian package comes with a different file structure and it has been disabled on 64-bit RPi systems, since the binary has been compiled for armhf.
- DietPi-Software | Domoticz: Resolved an issue where saving custom scripts and starting with a template did not work. Many thanks to @tec13 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8627
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where for ruTorrent, Koel and Bitwarden_RS the automatic newest version detection failed and instead a possibly older fallback was used. Many thanks to @kelvmod for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4105
- DietPi-Software | LXQt: Resolved visual issues with our default configuration of Debian Buster, drastically simplified and cleaned up the files we ship.
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Resolved an issue on Stretch where the install failed due to raised minimum Python version with SABnzbd v3.2.0. If Python 3.5 is installed, SABnzbd v3.1.1 will be installed now to allow keeping the install option enabled for now. Many thanks to @19eighties for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2762#issuecomment-787118995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.34
(20/12/20)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- Raspberry Pi 400 | Correct detection for this new Raspberry Pi model has been added.
- DietPi-Globals | In DietPi scripts, the PATH variable is now overwritten with the Debian/bash system default to assure that no broken or manipulated PATH can be passed via e.g. "su" or "sudo -E". This means that overrides must be placed in /usr/local/(s)bin now, which as well was the only save location for system-wide overrides before. Many thanks to @tandy-1000 for reporting a related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3873
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Hardened permissions of the /dev/zram0 zram-swap device to be only accessible by root user (mode 0600) and interpret input argument "/dev/zram0" and "zram0" as zram-swap as well, aside of "zram" only. Many thanks to @hansjuergenmay for reporting a related issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3869
- DietPi-NordVPN | A function has been added update the NordVPN server list, e.g. when new servers are available that are closer to your location.
- DietPi-JustBoom | The ALSA equalizer settings are not stored to /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-config/.alsaequal.bin where all users/services can read it and all members of the "dietpi" group (or root) can create and write to it. Many thanks to @wowcut for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3950
- DietPi-CloudShell | Several enhancements have been applied. The autostart option now runs the script in foreground, which means that it can always be terminated via "CTRL+C" from an attached keyboard. The original sized font is now restored on exit and terminal settings reset. Also the menu has gone through some fine tuning, showing current settings hopefully a bid more outstanding.
- DietPi-Update | It is now possible to enable automated APT package update checks and even upgrade them on a daily bases. Set the new dietpi.txt setting "CONFIG_CHECK_APT_UPDATES" to "1" (default) to enable daily APT update checks. The result is shown in the DietPi login banner, in a similar way an available DietPi update is presented. Set "CONFIG_CHECK_APT_UPDATES" to "2" to have APT packages upgraded automatically on a daily bases and review the logs at /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-update_apt.log. Cron is used for the schedule, which means that you can control the execution time via dietpi-cron > "cron.daily". Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3899
- DietPi-Config | RPi: When applying less than 32 MiB GPU memory, the VCSM (VideoCore Shared Memory) device and kernel module are disabled now. The automatically loaded cut-down firmware files do not support it which leads to currently 5 expected kernel error messages. Disabling it in the first place might marginally speed up boot and reduce memory usage, but more importantly reduces confusion or worries induced by to the error messages.
- DietPi-Config | Audio Options: Added an option to switch between direct audio output and automatic software conversions, for channels, format and rate via ALSA "plug" plugin. This may be required to play any raw wav file regardless of sound card capabilities and without defining supported values manually. Having automated software conversions enabled matches the Debian ALSA defaults but may increase CPU usage and decrease sound quality.
- DietPi-Config | RPi: When enabling I2C support, the Python 3 SMbus module is now installed instead of the deprecated Python 2 version. This matches as well the dependency of PiJuice, which nowadays pulls Python 3 SMbus as package dependency, hence this change avoids the obsolete install of the whole Python 2 stack when PiJuice is installed through dietpi-software. Many thanks to @Trunkzeh for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3963#issuecomment-748547394
- DietPi-Software | OpenBazaar: Build is now done with the currently latest Go v1.15.3 and the service runs as unprivileged user "openbazaar" instead of root.
- DietPi-Software | XRDP: Remote desktop connections can now be done with the "Xorg" method and hence don't require an active VNC server anymore. New installes will not pull TigerVNC as dependency and if only RDP is required, TigerVNC can be uninstalled.
- DietPi-Software | Single File PHP Gallery: Updated new installs to latest v4.7.1. Run "dietpi-software reinstall 56" to upgrade your existing instance.
- DietPi-Software | MineOS: A systemd service is now used to run the daemon in favour of the previous supervisor, the obsolete "mineos" user is not created anymore, Node.js v11 is used to build MineOS, obsolete dependencies have been removed and a reinstall will now perform a MineOS upgrade and the existing /etc/mineos.conf is not replaced anymore.
- DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI: By default, the ALSA automatic conversions plugin is enabled now on install, which enables OOTB compatibility with all wav sound formats and sound card. Additionally listener sampling rate override (48000 Hz) has been removed, reverting to Mycroft default (16000 Hz), which might solve an issue with hanging microphone level in CLI and related failing voice detection.
- DietPi-Software | Gogs: Has been enabled for ARMv8 boards and on ARMv7 boards the newest version is installed again, which was not the case since Gogs v0.12. due to changed download names. Many thanks to @MadKernel for bringing ARMv8 support back to our attention: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8276
- DietPi-Software | Folding@Home: Is now available for ARMv8 (arm64) boards. Donate your idle CPU power to help researchers fighting against diseases like Cancer, Alzheimer, Ebola and COVID-19.
- DietPi-Software | Radarr: Has been upgraded to the newest major version 3, including the required branch migration (from "develop" to "master") and, for non-ARMv6 boards, a migration to the now available .NET-based build away from Mono. This change is applied to all DietPi systems via Radarr reinstall, preserving your data and configs of course.
- DietPi-Software | OctoPrint: Is now available via PyPI repository, hence can be installed and updated easier and faster without downloading and building from the sources. Git is not required anymore, as the internal updater as well uses Python pip only. We migrate all DietPi OctoPrint instances to the new version and new install method, so that the Git/install directory /opt/octoprint is obsolete and removed. All your data will be preserved, of course. Many thanks to @Stinocon for reporting issues related to our previous implementation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3940
New Software Packages:
- DietPi-Software | Portainer: Simplify your Docker container management via Portainer web interface, now available for install. Many thanks to @Joulinar for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3933
- DietPi-Software | Tor Relay: Become part of the Tor Project and turn your DietPi into a Tor relay to help others surf the Internet safely and privately. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3921
- DietPi-Software | PaperMC: Highly optimised Minecraft server, written in Java, extensible via plugins, now available for install. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3828
- DietPi-Software | Unbound: Validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver, now available for install and integrate with Pi-hole. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3872
- DietPi-Software | Bitwarden_RS: An unofficial Bitwarden password manager server with web UI, written in Rust, now available for install. Many thanks to @CactiChameleon9 for implementing this software option: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3724
Removed Software Packages:
- DietPi-Software | DietPi-CloudShell: The install option has been removed, but DietPi-CloudShell stays available of course. The install did nothing else than creating the service file and enabling the autostart option, but the script was always available and did work well without having the software option installed. The service is now as well available statically, the script can always be started from console via "dietpi-cloudshell" shortcut alias now and is shown in dietpi-launcher. Also non-root users can run now run it via "dietpi-cloudshell 1" (with intro) or "dietpi-cloudshell 2" (no intro), only changing the settings via menu (no command argument) requires root permissions.
- DietPi-Software | CloudPrint: This software option has been removed, since the Google Cloud Print service will be shut down at the end of 2020 and we don't want to offer software options which will work for at most two months. Please migrate to another printing solution in time. Already installed CloudPrint instances will remain installed and the system service remains functional until the end of the year. With the first DietPi release in 2021 we will remove service handling and offer the package removal during the update process. Further information can be found here: https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/
- DietPi-Software | Tonido: This software option has been removed, since it is not developed anymore for three years, no sources have been found and the latest binaries require ancient library versions which fail to be easily installed on currently supported Debian versions.
Bug Fixes:
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi where the onboard 3.5mm jack selection did not work if an HDMI screen was attached. When selecting explicit either HDMI audio or onboard 3.5mm jack, the other one is now disabled on device tree level, which means it cannot be switched without reboot. This is currently the only known way to assure that 3.5mm jack is used for audio output regardless of now or later attached or detached HDMI screens. Many thanks to @corasaniti for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3887
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi where selecting the waveshare32 LCD panel installed an outdated device tree overlay, incompatible with the current Linux 5.4 kernel. Many thanks to @black00019 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3881
- DietPi-Services | Resolved an issue where CPU affinity selection failed due to a syntax error.
- DietPi-Bugreport | Resolved an issue where bug report uploads were cancelled if connection test on port 80/443 failed even that uploads are done via SFTP on port 22.
- DietPi-Cleaner | Resolved an issue where cleaner selection failed with a syntax error.
- DietPi-Sync | Resolved an issue where setting the delete mode to "On" did not have any effect on it. Many thanks to @mafioso12dk for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8226
- DietPi-Banner + DietPi-NordVPN | Resolved an issue where WAN IP changed to a multi-line output. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3908
- DietPi-CloudShell | Resolved an issue where scene selection failed with a syntax error. Many thanks to @ravenclaw900 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3880
- DietPi-Software | PiVPN: Resolved an issue where the installer hang since the interactive whiptail dialogues were not shown on console. Many thanks to @kelliegator for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3844
- DietPi-Software | Medusa: Resolved an issue where Medusa failed to start after install. Many thanks to @Luan7805 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3842
- DietPi-Software | Webservers: Resolved an issue where reinstall failed if /var/www/html did not exist.
- DietPi-Software | Lighttpd: Resolved an issue where (re)install failed if the fastcgi or fastcgi-php module was enabled already.
- DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Resolved an issue where the URL check for youtube-dl failed.
- DietPi-Software | Single File PHP Gallery: Resolved an issue where directory previews were not shown due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @tallbastard for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=28155#p28155
- DietPi-Software | WebIOPi: Resolved an issue where the download and install failed.
- DietPi-Software | Nginx: Resolved an issue where the amount of worker processes was not set to the amount of CPU threads as intended.
- DietPi-Software | MineOS: Resolved an issue where the Node.js downgrade an hence the web UI compiling failed. Many thanks to @CactiChameleon9 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3901
- DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI: Resolved an issue where skill installs failed due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @GreenGentleman for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=28464#p28464
- DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: Resolved an issue where Jellyfin did not run on ARMv6 (RPi 1 and Zero models). ARMv6/Raspbian-compatible binaries are now shipped via different APT repository. Many thanks to @Shiivu for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8263
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Resolved an issue on RPi with WiFi adapters using an RTL8188C* chip, where the service failed to start due to an invalid driver. Many thanks to @yerc for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=28984#p28984
- DietPi-Software | OctoPrint: Resolved an issue where the service and system could not be restarted anymore via OctoPrint web UI and, on RPi, the CPU throttling state could not be derived.
- DietPi-Software | Ampache: Resolved an issue where the install failed due to an incompatible PHP composer version and it was not possible to update the configuration file to a new version through the web interface. Many thanks to @kk345 for reporting these issues: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8367
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/3982
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.33
(17/10/20)
API Changes:
- DietPi-Globals | The G_FP_DIETPI_USERDATA variable has been removed. Variables cannot be used in every context, e.g. not in config files stored on GitHub or dietpi.com for download, its value "/mnt/dietpi_userdata" does not change and using the path literally allows slightly simplified and hardened coding.
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-Login | Logins do not wait for DietPi-PostBoot to finish anymore, as this is not strictly required. On local console, DietPi-PostBoot processing output practically blocks login until finished or timed out and logins on any other console like SSH or serial do not require it. DietPi-PostBoot only checks for DietPi updates, starts background services and prints the pre-login banner to local console, nothing that is required for console usage.
- DietPi-Autostart | Autostart programs with a foreground process are now started as replacement for the DietPi-Login process via "exec" which saves 3-4 MiB RAM usage.
- DietPi-Software | When using an invalid input argument, dietpi-software now prints usage info to the terminal.
- DietPi-Software | The "dietpi" UNIX group has been made the primary group for all* services which ran with "Group=dietpi" before: Transmission, Mopidy, MiniDLNA, Airsonic, Plex Media Server, Emby Server, Medusa, Tonido, Blynk Server, SABnzbd, Koel, NZBGet. If the user (+group) is created by an external package or installer, the original primary group is kept as supplementary group to not possibly break access permissions to pre-created directories and files. *Only example from these changes is Deluge for now, since we don't want to run the separate web UI service with dietpi group permissions. In case of Tautulli, the dietpi group permissions are remove, since Tautulli does not require it.
- DietPi-Software | Bazarr: Companion application to Sonarr and Radarr, which manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements, now available for install. Many thanks to @DiogoAbu for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2045
- DietPi-Software | phpBB: New installs will be v3.3.1 now, existing instances won't be touched as updates need to be done manually through the internal update mechanism, which includes the mandatory database migration. Additionally new installs will now be places at /var/www/phpbb, the old location /var/www/phpBB3 is still handled gracefully, if existing.
- DietPi-Software | OctoPrint: The service runs now as user "octoprint", the Git branch directory has been moved to /opt/octoprint and /mnt/dietpi_userdata/octoprint is the run users home and hence config and data directory now. To apply these changes, OctoPrint is reinstalled with DietPi v6.33, which includes the Python 3 migration (see v6.32 changelog) on Buster and Bullseye systems. This implies that the CLI ("octoprint" command) needs to be executed as user "octoprint" to invoke the correct configuration. A bash shell alias solves this automatically for all users with sudo permissions, but if you use a custom shell, the CLI needs to be called like: "sudo -u octoprint octoprint <command>". Many thanks to @ModischFabrications for reporting an issue that is related to the fact that the service ran as root user before: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3315
- DietPi-Software | Tautulli: Finally, directories, user and service are renamed from "plexpy" to "tautulli". Additionally it runs with Python 3 now instead of Python 2. These changes are applied as well during DietPi update.
- DietPi-Software | Baikal: Update (re)install procedure to cover the new config directory and use the pre-packed release archives instead of raw source and composer. Additionally webserver configs have been added to harden access permissions.
- DietPi-Software | Docker: On fresh installs or reinstalls, logs are now done with limited verbosity to systemd-journald (RAM), accessible via "journalctl -u docker -u containerd" to reduce disk writes. Docker can be reinstalled via "dietpi-software reinstall 162". Many thanks to @SaturnusDJ for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2388
- DietPi-Software | Mosquitto: The official APT repository is now used where possible, which currently excludes ARMv8/arm64 and Raspbian/Debian Bullseye. This change is applied via reinstall during DietPi update. Many thanks to @marcobrianza for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3042
- DietPi-Software | Cuberite: A wrong directory name based on a typo has been fixed. A reinstall updates Cuberite and moves its install directory to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/cuberite as intended. This is applied via DietPi update but a backup is created to cover issues due to potential structural changes, especially for older instances installed at /etc/cubrite.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: An update to Amiberry v3.3 is applied during DietPi v6.33 update.
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: By default, when double-clicking a desktop icon or executable file, it will be executed directly now, without being asked first what to do. This behaviour can be changed from within PCManFM file manager > "Edit" > "Preferences" > "General" > "Don't ask options to launch executable file".
Bug Fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue where using AUTO_UNMASK_LOGIND=1 or enabling Amiberry fastboot did not allow to start systemd-logind as intended if the required dbus package was not installed before. Many thanks to @razerbann for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3770
- RPi | Resolved an issue where Allo USBridge Sig (ASIX AX88179) Ethernet fails due to non-matching driver. Many thanks to @dsnyder0pc for reporting this issue any many thanks to Allo for providing stable branch driver builds and a method to compare kernel module layouts: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3725
- DietPi-Backup | Resolved an issue where F2FS was not supported as target location. Since it has full UNIX permissions and symlinks support and can be used as rootfs file system, it can be used for OS backups as well. Many thanks to @Cjkeenan for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/606#issuecomment-695944450
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Resolved an issue where swapon failed on ext4 due to an external bug in Linux 5.7 and 5.8. The script now tries quick and less write-intense fallocate pre-allocation first, regardless of kernel version and file system type, and falls back to dd in case of failure. Many thanks to @auanasgheps for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3756
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where on devices with old Linux kernel versions (e.g. Sparky SBC with Linux 3.10.38) the Performance Options failed to open with a syntax error. Many thanks to @dsnyder0pc for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3799
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi 2 where a wrong default SDRAM frequency was shown, which is 450 MHz instead of 400 MHz with current firmware.
- DietPi-Software | OpenTyrian: The autostart option and run script have been fixed and slightly enhanced to lower RAM usage a bid.
- DietPi-Software | Firefox Sync Server: Resolved an issue where the build failed due to missing MySQL/MariaDB headers, newly required. Many thanks to @kinoushe for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3774
- DietPi-Software | Firefox Sync Server: Resolved another issue where the build failed due to transition of the whole project from Python to Rust. We now stay on a fixed commit and won't ship newer Firefox Sync Server versions until this transition has been fully completed, as the install process and requirements will constantly change. Many thanks again to @kinoushe for reporting this issue.
- DietPi-Software | LXDE: Resolved several issues due to conflicts between the RPi desktop LXDE packages with native LXDE.
- DietPi-Software | Webmin: Worked around an issue where install failed. Webmin depends on apt-show-versions which does not support compressed APT list files, which be implemented as default with DietPi v6.32.
- DietPi-Software | WebIOPi: Resolved an issue where the download failed.
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where install failed on ARM due to missing new build dependency. Many thanks to @pbutterworth for reporting and @novitibo for providing the solution: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8095
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Resolved an issue on Odroid XU4 where install failed due to missing librockchip-mpp1 package which instead was aimed to be installed on Odroid N1 only.
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC+LXDE: Resolved an issue where lxappearance start ("Customize Look and Feel") hangs within TigerVNC sessions.
- DietPi-Software | Fail2Ban: Resolved an issue where the service could have failed to start due to a missing variable declaration in our default config. Many thanks to @mafioso12dk for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8147
- DietPi-Software | DietPi-RAMlog: Resolved an issue where /var/log content was not restored when reinstalling DietPi-RAMlog, e.g. when swiching logging mode from #1 to #2. This could have led to service start issues, when those rely on log files or directories being present. Many thanks to @djashdj for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8163
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/3829
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.32
(31/08/20)
API Changes:
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Running the script without input arguments does not print the current swap file location and size anymore but will apply the settings stored in dietpi.txt, refresh the current swap file or apply defaults as fallback. Currently active swap files can be reliably checked via /proc/swaps or htop.
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- NanoPi NEO3 | Initial support for this SBC has been added.
- NanoPi R2S | Initial support for this SBC has been added.
- NanoPi K2 | Initial support for this SBC has been added.
- DietPi-Set_swapfile | Added support for zram-based swap space. Use "zram" as swap location to have a zram device created (persistently via udev rule) at /dev/zram0 and used for compressed in-memory swap space. The auto-size option "1" will result in a zram size of 50% of physical RAM size, else the MiB value will be used, as long as its smaller than physical RAM size. Many thanks to @rickalm for pushing this topic with an initial implementation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3705
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | For NTFS mounts, the "big_writes" mount option is now added by default, which reduces CPU load and by this may increase performance. Many thanks to @balexandrov for suggesting this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3330#issuecomment-654072107
- DietPi-Config | Added selection of schedutil and userspace CPU frequency governors. Schedutil is a modern dynmic governor which sets frequency tightly related and according to metrics of the CPU scheduling driver itself. Userspace is a no-op governor, i.e. it does not touch CPU frequencies at all which allows setting manual/custom frequencies according to own metrics or via scripts. Read more about native Linux CPU frequency scaling: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/pm/cpufreq.html#generic-scaling-governors
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Removed the option to switch the deprecated max_usb_current setting in config.txt. Max USB current is now enabled by default via firmware on all RPi models: https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/issues/1655
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Lighttpd: Updated our default SSL cipher to match newer standards, still intermediate and compatible with Debian Stretch (Lighttpd v1.4.45). Additionally our config file names have been adjusted to use lighty-enable|disable-mod and priority prefixes to allow ordering own custom configs/vhosts more easily around them. Many thanks to @PanosssD for making us aware of this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3707
- DietPi-Software | Komga: FOSS home server for comics and mangas, now available for install as ID 179. Many thanks to @himura95 for providing the implementation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3403
- DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: A FOSS web interface media streaming server available for install. Many thanks to all who voted for it: https://feathub.com/MichaIng/DietPi/+63
- DietPi-Software | Airsonic: It is now available on Debian Buster systems since Java 11 support has been added. Many thanks to @linxiaopi for pointing us at the required re-evaluation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3732
- DietPi-Software | On the uninstall information prompt, the info has been added that uninstalling usually means that related userdata and configs are purged as well. Additionally "dietpi-software reinstall <ID>" is mentioned now as alternative to repair/update installed software. Many thanks to @kpine for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3550
- DietPi-Software | Python pip: We migrated this software selection to a Python3/pip3 install only, due to Python2 EOL in 2020/01. Where possible, dependant software selections have been migrated to Python3 builds, where not possible, Python2/pip2 is installed separately for now. We hope that most affected software titles will do Python3 releases soon, otherwise we will remove them form our portfolio, at latest in spring 2021. The strongest reason for this is that next Debian Bullseye (summer 2021) will not ship Python2 packages anymore.
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Migrated to a Python3-based install.
- DietPi-Software | OctoPrint: On Debian Buster and up, migrated to a Python3-based install.
- DietPi-Software | Wordpress: Plugins can now be installed and the internal updater used OOTB without the need to manually apply correct file permissions first. Many thanks to @Joulinar for implementing this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3720
- DietPi-Software | ProFTPD: On fresh installs, reverse DNS lookups are disabled by default now by adding "UseReverseDNS off" to /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf. This increases login speeds, in case dramatically, depending on reverse DNS server. Additionally file uploads can now be resumed by default via "AllowStoreRestart On" and members of the "dietpi" group have write access to uploaded files ("Umask 002") to increase OOTB compatibility with media and file sharing software. Many thanks to @bbsixzz for doing these suggestions: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3727
- DietPi-Software | HTPC Manager: Migrated to a Python3-compatibe fork initiated by @gmiranda (https://github.com/HTPC-Manager/HTPC-Manager), since the previous fork stopped development. Please help test, and when possible contribute to this project to keep it alive. We'll do minimal tests and assure the basic install and web interface works fine from Debian Stretch till Debian Bullseye.
Bug Fixes:
- General | Resolved an issue where enabling or disabling IPv6 removed the expected symlink at /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf with its actual target file. This happened when using dietpi-config network options and as well during firstrun setup when dietpi.txt choices are applied. The symlink is recreated, if missing, on all DietPi systems with next update.
- General | Resolved an external bug where the haveged entropy daemon failed to start on some ARM boards with the current version shipped with Debian Buster. On Buster ARMv7 and ARMv8 systems, a new package from Debian Bullseye is installed with this DietPi update, which contains the upstream fix: https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/pull/7
- DietPi-Benchmark | Resolved an issue where file system benchmarks failed. Many thanks to @dbambus for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3672
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where RPi onboard Bluetooth is attempted to be enabled on RPi models without onboard Bluetooth. On those models, now only the generic Bluetooth packages and services are installed and enabled. Many thanks to @TASSDevon for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3611
- DietPi-Software | Node.js: Resolved an issue where the installer internet connection check fails due to new nodejs.org HTTPS redirection. For now we use our own fork.
- DietPi-Software | HTPC Manager: Resolved an issue where install failed due to missing build-essential dependency.
- DietPi-Software | HTPC Manager: Resolved an issue where the internal updater failed due to missing git meta files.
- DietPi-Software | EmonPi: Resolved a failing primary UART activation on install.
- DietPi-Software | PHP: Resolved an issue where on pre-v6.23 systems the PHP upgrade from v7.0/7.1 to v7.2/7.3 did not work as expected. Many thanks to @illusive-c for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3670
- DietPi-Software | Xfce: Resolved an issue where the install and autostart of xcompmgr composition manager broke the xfwm4 internal one, leading to ineffective appearance settings and black borders around windows in certain cirumstances. Many thanks to @TamaTamaGoGo for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3665
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue with Apache webserver, where CORS check failed if the Referrer-Policy header has been set to "no-referrer". If this is the case, the Pi-hole Apache config now sets it to the second strict "same-origin", which does not break the Pi-hole admin panel. Many thanks to @Phil1988 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3675
- DietPi-Software | qBittorrent: Resolved an issue where setting the web UI port via config file or UI is overridden by the service file command option. Many thanks to @linxiaopi for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3660
- DietPi-Software | Fail2Ban: Resolved an issue where sshd filter modes could not be set via jail config since the variable was not passed. Many thanks to @Darwolia for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3697
- DietPi-Software | Cuberite: Resolved an install issue due to changed download URL and worked around a startup issue on RPi 1/Zero models since Cuberite dropped ARMv6 support. Many thanks to @CactiChameleon9 for providing compatible binaries: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3664
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/3751
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.31
(05/07/20)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- RPi | Support for Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) has been added, including any other Debian pre-image on RPi. Many thanks to @FusionPlmH for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3570
- Odroid C4 | Support for this new Hardkernel SBC has been added to allow image creation based on Meveric's Odroid repository, including Kodi support.
- Network | "ping" can now be used by all users without any file capabilities, sudo or setuid. For this we allow all users to create native ICMP sockets which are available since Linux 3.X but disabled by default on Debian. Other distributions and systemd (upstream) have this enabled by default and for security and usability reasons we follow them: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableSysctlPingGroupRange
- DietPi-Login | A new setting has been added which allows to skip the interactive GPLv2 license agreement on first login. Add/set "AUTO_SETUP_ACCEPT_LICENSE=1" in (/boot/)dietpi.txt in which case we assume you read and agreed the license text at least once. Many thanks to @mrbluecoat for reporting the urgent use-case of Chromium kiosk mode autostart without keyboard attached: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3326
- DietPi-Cleaner | Enhanced performance of the files cleaner if /mnt is skipped, especially in combination with large drives or network mounts. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for revealing the underlying issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3609
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | SSHFS entries in fstab are now detected and preserved. Many thanks to @notwork for doing this suggestion: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7781
- DietPi-Config | Added Ethernet link speed selection to Network>Ethernet menu. The function and dietpi.txt entry exists for a long time but it was only exposed as first run setup option.
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Added generic support for all SBCs where the WireGuard kernel module is shipped together with the kernel package. This applies to most current Armbian-based images at the time of writing and will be the more regular case since Linux 5.6 has WireGuard natively integrated.
- DietPi-Software | Firefox Sync Server has been added to our software list, which allows to sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, tabs and passwords via your self-hosted server. Many thanks and all credits to @CedArctic for implementing this software title: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3471
- DietPi-Software | Folding@Home: Updated to latest v7.6.X, which includes an explicit option for prioritising COVID 19 projects: https://foldingathome.org/2020/04/17/new-foldinghome-software-with-the-option-to-prioritize-covid-19-projects/
This update is applied to all systems with DietPi v6.31, existing config and data are preserved.
- DietPi-Software | Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr: The /media directory as second common mount point can now also be used as download/media directory without manually adding it to the systemd units ReadWritePaths list. Many thanks to @ricardoandren for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3561
- DietPi-Software | Samba Server: Changed default server-side file permissions from 0775 to 0664, hence files on the server are by default created without execute permissions now, which suits usual standards. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3581
- DietPi-Software | QuiteRSS: Re-added the years ago accidentally removed install code block. If you ever wondered why there was no QuiteRSS after selecting it for install, now there will be. If it is marked as installed already, run either "dietpi-software install 22" or simply "apt install quiterss" to (really) get it.
- DietPi-Software | SqueezeLite: Updated to v1.9.7 and the service runs now as own user "squeezelite". Many thanks to @volpone for doing the update request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2386
Bug Fixes:
- System | Resolved potential issues due to missing /media directory on DietPi images, which is not used by default but is part of FHS and can hence be expected by Linux software, e.g. htpdate. Many thanks to @jokoren for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3558
- DietPi-Login | Resolved an issue where the script called itself from within the error handler subshell. Generally the error handler subshell must never call dietpi-login (and related autostart programs) and dietpi-login must never call itself from an interactive subshell. Many thanks to @nosyaardvark for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3583#issuecomment-643583664
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where moving the RootFS to an external drive did not include DietPi userdata. Many thanks to @sdomotica and @Joulinar for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3600#issuecomment-643261670
- DietPi-LED_control | Resolved an issue where LED triggers fail to become boot persistent. Many thanks to @FrostyMisa for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3636
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi3+ models where RPi3 non-plus overclocking profiles were shown. Many thanks to @lone for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7804
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi4 2/4/8 GiB RAM models where the current GPU memory split was not obtained correctly. Many thanks to @FrostyMisa for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3636#issuecomment-652467249
- DietPi-Software | Logging choice: Resolved an issue where manually choosing logging options "None" and "Full" during firstrun installs did not uninstall DietPi-RAMlog as intended. Many thanks to @Pain-Patate for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3588
- DietPi-Software | GMediaRender+WireGuard: Resolved an issue where service start could have failed due to invalid network information. Many thanks to @fnsnyc for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3519
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Resolved an issue where startup fails because of invalid default config values. Many thanks to @PiTech and @vorrac for reporting and fixing this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7613, https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7607
- DietPi-Software | Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr: Resolved an issue where those software services crashed once an hour due to faulty SQLite database log file clearing. Many thanks to @Taloth from Sonarr and all the others who reported, investigated and finally solved the mystery: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7598
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Resolved an issue where WireGuard in client mode failed to start due to missing resolvconf. It is now installed together with WireGuard when choosing client setup. Many thanks to @yahoo456 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7783
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Worked around an issue where on some Odroids install failed due to missing symlinks to the Linux headers. Many thanks to @repomanz for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3577
- DietPi-Software | Ubooquity: Updated the installer to pull the latest version from Vae Mendis Software directly and enhanced permissions to better integrate with other software. Many thanks to @Mr.Roboto for doing this suggestion: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7786
- DietPi-Software | Node.js: Resolved an issue where Node failed to start due to missing new libatmoic1 dependency. Many thanks to @larsno for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3614
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC: Worked around an external bug where the VNC server crashed after client logout or failed to start at all. Many thanks to @Joulinar for investigating this issue and providing the workaround: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=25285#p25285
- DietPi-Software | XRDP: The above TigerVNC bug affected as well XRDP connections which have been resolved in the same turn: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3615#issuecomment-650559035

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.30
(10/05/20 Hotfix)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-Software | qBittorrent: Changed default download file permissions so that Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/.. are able to manipulate the downloads after import. Many thanks to @compdealer for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3524
Bug Fixes:
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where on RPi3/4/Zero W onboard WiFi could not be enabled. Many thanks to @elitearmedforce for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3510
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue on Raspberry Pi where, after running DietPi-Drive_Manager, the root file system was mount read-only. Many thanks to @Adsouza98 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3511
- DietPi-Banner | Resolved an issue where non-root users were unable to download a new MOTD (message of the day). Many thanks to @PeterLacknase and @fnsnyc for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3505, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3520

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.29
(03/05/20)
API Changes:
- Hardware info | The hardware info file /DietPi/dietpi/.hw_model should be now accessed at /boot/dietpi/.hw_model (see DietPi-RAMdisk removal below) and contains info now as NAME=VALUE like lines, which can be sourced from shell scripts.
- Flag/Info files | /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available, /DietPi/dietpi/.timesync_exit_status, /DietPi/dietpi/.network and /tmp/.dietpi_motd have all been moved into a new runtime directory: /run/dietpi/
- DietPi-Globals | The global variables G_HW_ARCH_DESCRIPTION and G_HW_MODEL_DESCRIPTION have been renamed to G_HW_ARCH_NAME and G_HW_MODEL_NAME. The new variables G_HW_UUID (DietPi-internal device UUID) and G_ROOTFS_DEV (RootFS device path) are available. On RPi additionally G_HW_REVISION, G_HW_PCB_REVISION, G_HW_MEMORY_SIZE and G_HW_MANUFACTURER are available, the revision code and its decoded information: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/revision-codes/README.md
- DietPi-Globals | G_RUN_CMD and G_ERROR_HANDLER have been removed and replaced with G_EXEC. Basically G_EXEC can be used the same way G_RUN_CMD was before and it is wider configurable to make manual G_ERROR_HANDLER usage obsolete where custom solution menu entries or command output parsing is required, e.g. to check for errors that do not produce exit codes. Visual change for regular DietPi users is that every error handled command can be retried, a subshell can be opened to investigate or fix the originating issue and, for experienced users, the command can be altered, e.g. if a download link has changed or an expected file has been moved manually to a new path. Further details can be found in the script: /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals
- DietPi-Globals | G_FILE_EXISTS has been removed, as it was used only a single time in our code and usually it needs to be checked and handled explicitly, whether it is a file, directory, symlink with or without existing target.
- DietPi-Globals | The new global functions G_CHECK_CON and G_CHECK_DNS have been added to test general network connectivity and DNS resolver based on dietpi.txt settings.
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- NanoPi M4V2 | Initial hardware identifier (ID: 58) and support for this device has been added to DietPi. Many thanks to @purist doing this request: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6451
- NanoPi NEO Plus2 | Initial hardware identifier (ID: 57) and support for this device has been added to DietPi. Many thanks to @StephanStS for doing this request and creating an image: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2979#issuecomment-615487662
- PINE H64 | Initial hardware identifier (ID: 45) and support for this device has been added to DietPi. Many thanks to @unixino for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3286
- ROCK Pi S | Initial hardware identifier (ID: 73) and support for this device has been added to DietPi. Many thanks to @lwqcz for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3365
- Sparky SBC | Updated kernel drivers and SBC-specific service and config files
- General | Switched to C.UTF-8 as default locale and for DietPi scripts. It is shipped statically by APT package, international and more lightweight compared to en_GB.UTF-8.
- DietPi-RAMdisk | Removed from DietPi, which means that one can edit config files in /boot directory directly now. To keep performance for our scripts up, vmtouch is installed instead, which allows to lock files in native file system cache, configured to lock /boot/dietpi and /boot/dietpi.txt in cache by default. More info: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3288
- DietPi-LED_control | LED trigger choices are now applied via udev rules, existing settings are migrated on DietPi-Update. This allows to skip running this script at boot and simplify the preboot script, which both reduces boot time a bid. Additionally, applied LED triggers can now be reset to system defaults, which removes related udev rules. Since the script is now for interactive usage only, it has been moved to /boot/dietpi/dietpi-led_control and an alias has been added to call it from console via "dietpi-led_control" command.
- DietPi-Update | The DietPi auto update feature has been removed. Our updates require users attention, they often contain deeper changes, interactive elements and important information. We'll instead add an auto APT upgrade feature at a later release, similar to "unattended-upgrades" but with the possibility to also upgrade non-security patches, right into dietpi-update. Checking for available updates is done as before on a daily basis if not disabled via dietpi.txt.
- DietPi-Cron | Allows now to set the cron job output mail recipient. Cron mails are disabled by default since no MTA is preconfigured on DietPi. Additionally the execution times are now shown more clearly in 24h format.
- DietPi-Autostart | When selecting a non-root autologin user, some required tasks, like permissions, are now applied automatically, based on autostart option. This especially allows non-root users to launch Kodi without applying permissions manually. Many thanks to @sbrl for requesting this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3351
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | GlusterFS fstab entries are now preserved. Many thanks to @Sudrien for implementing this addition: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3374
- DietPi-Software | Domoticz: open-source home automation platform is now available for install. Many thanks to @AndyB for doing this request a long time ago: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=222
- DietPi-Software | phpBB: Updated to v3.3.0 which has PHP7.3 support, hence can be installed on all hardware models and distro versions.
- DietPi-Software | Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr: Enhanced install and uninstall steps. On reinstalls, the install dir is left unchanged now, suggesting to use the internal updater instead, which is generally safer and now does not require a manual service restart (see bug fix below). In case of a broken instance, the install dir /opt/<name> needs to be removed manually now, to have reinstalls downloading and installing the newest binaries.
- DietPi-Software | Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr: The service now runs with hardened permissions, by default blocking access to directories outside of /opt/<name> /mnt /var/log/<name> and /tmp. If writing to other directories is wanted, the service file needs to be edited, easiest with "dietpi-services" > "<name>" > "Edit" and adding an additional "ReadWritePaths=/path/to/custom/dir".
- DietPi-Software | Chromium: Unlocked install on ARMv6 RPi models: RPi1/Zero/Zero W. Browsing performance will not be perfect, but for kiosk mode or light usage there are use cases. Many thanks to @kmplngj for requesting and testing: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3364
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Updated installer according to next upstream release v6.2.0. Many thanks to @jcorporation for informing us about the new version: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3382
- DietPi-Software | MPD: Assured that UNIX domain socket and systemd unit for socket activation is present on Stretch systems. As well the obsolete cache dir symlinks in "/var/lib/mpd" will not be present anymore. Any custom scripts must use the absolute paths in "/mnt/dietpi_userdata/.mpd_cache" from now on.
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Enabled support for Pi-hole v5. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting the required change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3391
- DietPi-Software | Shairport-Sync: Updated to new version 3.3.6, using self-compiled deb packages. Many thanks to @kmplngj for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3216
- DietPi-Software | HAProxy: Updated to newest stable upstream version 2.1.3 and the sysvinit service has been replaced with the officially provided systemd service. It will be reinstalled on all systems via DietPi-Update, your config files will not be touched on any reinstall.
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Further rework and update of the default config file. Many thanks to @bbsixzz for this contribution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3332
Bug Fixes:
- Raspberry Pi | Resolved an issue where RPi models could be incorrectly identified in case of warranty, overvoltage or OTP bits set in revision code. Many thanks to @LeeMenHin for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2979#issuecomment-598906749
- DietPi-Banner | Resolved an issue where clearing the screen fails due to missing G_TERM_CLEAR command. Many thanks to @Joulinar for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3313
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where, on RPi with vc4-fkms-v3d overlay/driver enabled, soundcard selection went wrong. Many thanks to @Cybolic for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3356
- DietPi-Globals | CPU temperature readout on Intel Mini PCs has been fixed. Many thanks to @Iv711 and @kt1024 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3172, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3412
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where the chosen spindown timeout was not applied correctly on boot. Many thanks to @tesseract241 and @lukaszm89 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3309, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3420
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where NFS pre-v3 mounts could have failed on boot. They are now automounted on first mountpoint access, like NFSv3 and Samba shares do already.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.28
(03/01/20 Hotfix)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: The new homeassistant-update.sh script, for quickly updating your Home Assistant version, now gets execute permissions on install.
Bug Fixes:
- System | Resolved an issue were the chosen CPU governor was not applied correctly. Many thanks to @bbsixzz for reporting the issue and @Joulinar for providing the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3299
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue were zip archive extraction failed. Many thanks to @dcallen7 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3300
- DietPi-Software | phpMyAdmin: Resolved an issue where reinstalls failed if phpMyAdmin was installed prior DietPi v6.27 with Lighttpd or Nginx as webserver. Many thanks to @Nightliss for reporting the issue and @Joulinar for providing the solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3304
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved an issue where the service failed to start if prior to reinstall the data dir permissions were not set correctly. Many thanks to @huettenwirt for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3219#issuecomment-570582486
Check out all code changes of this release on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3310
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.27
(01/01/20)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- FriendlyARM ZeroPi | Initial hardware identifier (ID: 59) and support for this device has been added to DietPi. Many thanks to @Stephan for creating the related DietPi image: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3221
- RPi | An updated USBridgeSig Ethernet driver, as provided by allo.com, will be applied via postinst kernel script, until it has been merged into official RPi kernel: https://github.com/allocom/USBridgeSig/tree/master/ethernet
- RPi4 | Added generic RPi4 revision code detection to include the new revisions [abc]03112 and potential new PCB v1.3 til v1.9 once released. Many thanks to @Joulinar for reporting the missing new revision code: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3257#issuecomment-565370856
- RPi4 | Since RPi4, bootloader and USB firmware is stored on an internal EEPROM, which is not updated/flashed by the firmware APT package installs automatically. The additional "rpi-eeprom" package comes with an EEPROM update script and boot service, which will now be installed on DietPi update and firstrun setup automatically, if RPi4 is detected. Those firmware updates include power consumption (hence heat emission) optimisations and enable additional boot methods, currently network boot and USB boot is planned as well. This was reason enough for us to implement it automatically for all RPi4 systems. Additionally you can actively install/update the EEPROM manually via dietpi-config > Advanced Options > Update RPi4 EEPROM firmware. For additional information, read the official docs: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/booteeprom.md Many thanks to @trueaspects for informing us about this important subject: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3217
- Virtual Machines | Intel/AMD CPU microcode update packages are not installed/purged from virtual machines. The CPU is provided by the host, hypervisors do not allow to update microcode from within the guest, reasonably, and if they did, this would be serious security and stability issue.
- DietPi-Globals | A new function G_TERM_CLEAR has been added to clear a current terminal view by moving content into scrollback buffer. The previous method erased current visible content on some terminal types. Many thanks to @rdslw for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/1615#issuecomment-562928032
- DietPi-PREP | New images will have all man pages and documentation files for installed packages available. Those were removed until now, but prevented users from simply installing man-db to view man pages on the system, without reinstalling packages to restore those first. Many thanks to @smudgered for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3259
- DietPi-Software | The general network check against first sources.list entry has been replaced by a pure connectivity test and separate DNS resolver test via ping. This solves an issue where sources.list parsing failed when [arch=...] was specified and allows better debugging. The sources list entries themselves are checked and error-handled by G_AGUP already. Ping target IP for connection test and domain for DNS resolver test can be set via dietpi.txt, default is Cloudflare DNS IP and domain which should be very reliable and fast all over the world. Many thanks to @lwqcz for reporting the issue and providing a solution: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3243
- DietPi-Software | TasmoAdmin: The administrative website to manage ESP8266 devices flashed with Tasmota for smart home systems is now available for install. Many thanks to @svh1985 for implementing this software title: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3103
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud: Enabled install on Buster, Bullseye and ARMv6 RPi models (RPi1+Zero). ownCloud 10.3 has been release with PHP7.3 support, hence it can be used with native distro PHP7.3 and does not require Ondrej's PHP repo which does not support armv6hf.
- DietPi-Software | Syncthing: Enhanced service by security hardenings and to allow internal updates and auto updates without failing to restart. Moved binary from /etc/syncthing to /opt/syncthing to match FHS and disabled file logging, which is an unnecessary overhead, since logs can be easily viewed via "journalctl -u syncthing". Changes will be applied to all installs on v6.27 update, existing configs won't be touched by this.
- DietPi-Software | NAA daemon: Latest version is now scraped from base URL and installed automatically. Many thanks to @Heroldgray for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3191
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Python3.8 will be installed for the pyenv from now on due to Python3.6 deprecation. Many thanks to @sdomotica for providing this information: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3219
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: When selecting for install, one will be informed about possibly long install/build times. Many thanks to @Gill-Bates for doing this suggestion to avoid users assuming their install process being stuck: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2897
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Vastly reduced Home Assistant dependencies and install complexity. It does not run inside a virtualenv of pyenv anymore, since it has already its unique pyenv Python instance. pyenv is still required due to the large amount of specific module versions, required for HA and its integrations. The alternative would be a venv from a globally installed Python instance, but this requires further thoughts and discussion. The amount of development libraries and tools, installed via APT, has been updated and reduced to a minimum to build Python and Home Assistant inside the pyenv without errors and warnings. There is a slightly increased chance that certain HA components need additional development packages. To cover this, two new settings have been added to dietpi.txt: "SOFTWARE_HOMEASSISTANT_APT_DEPS" and "SOFTWARE_HOMEASSISTANT_PIP_DEPS". Add a space-separated list of APT packages and pip modules respectively, to have those installed automatically with Home Assistant. As well activating the pyenv environment from console is now easier possible via "source /home/homeassistant/pyenv-activate.sh" as user "homeassistant". Additionally "/home/homeassistant/homeassistant-update.sh" has been added, which can be called by any sudo-capable user to update Home Assistant easily.
- DietPi-Software | Node-RED: Access permissions to I2C is now enabled by default on RPi and other SBCs which ship a configured "i2c" group by default. Many thanks to @NastySpill for reporting an underlying issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6862
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: The latest version will now be pulled from GitHub automatically.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to v3.0.9, a large update from v2.25 with many improvements, see: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/releases
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Since we ship a tailored SDL2 version, this has now been merged right into the Amiberry download archive and install directory, to not interfere with other system-wide installed SDL2 instances.
- DietPi-Software | Kodi: Add GPU-accelerated support for Odroid N2 via fbdev driver and special Kodi build, provided by Meveric. Many thanks to @ernero93 for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3255
- DietPi-Software | Koel: The latest upstream release will be pulled automatically now, v4.2.2 at date of writing. Dependencies have been updated accordingly, e.g. latest Koel supports latest Node.js v13.5.0.
- DietPi-Software | NoMachine: Updated to latest version 6.9.2 and switched to URL with no version string, which allows us to update downloads on-the-fly without code changes. Download URLs from official website have been simplified and follow some logic, but there are no "latest" URLs available and older versions are not kept, hence we must go on hosting those packages on dietpi.com.
- DietPi-Software | Allo web UI: Updated to version 13.1, which mostly fixes some compatibility issues with DietPi v6.27 and Debian Buster systems. For details, see: /var/www/allo/CHANGELOG.txt
- DietPi-Software | phpMyAdmin: The APT package install has been replaced by an upstream archive download. This allows us to ship the most current version on all distro versions and avoids incompatibility due to PHP meta packages being pulled as dependencies by the APT package. Install on Buster and Bullseye is possible now by this and incompatibility with concurrent ownCloud and phpBB has been resolved. On Stretch this resolves an issue due to new PHP7.4 being pulled by "php" meta package from Ondrejs repo. Many thanks to @symlagom for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3284
Bug Fixes:
- DietPi-PREP | Resolved an issue, where in rare cases a wrong $PATH variable could break command calls. Many thanks to @dtm2001 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3206
- DietPi-Explorer | Resolved an issue where handling of file/directory paths with white spaces failed. Many thanks to @gabboman for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7046
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where, after transferring the root file system, the script itself could revert the fstab entry, since a reboot was not forced anymore since v6.22. This change has been reverted, hence a reboot cannot be skipped to avoid any fstab revert and inconsistency with cmdline. Many thanks to @DutchFlash for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6645
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, all drives were mounted as R/O on boot. Many thanks to @samolego for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3268
- DietPi-Autostart | Resolved an issue where non-interactive script calls, e.g. done by dietpi-software installs, reset prior made auto login user choices. Many thanks to @zedrdave for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3242
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Resolved an issue where PSU noise reduction state always shows "[Off]". HDMI output will now be toggled immediately, hence no reboot is required for changes to take effect. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3187
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud/Nextcloud: An important security fix has been applied to our ownCloud/Nextcloud Nginx configs. This has been merged into our other GitHub branches as well, hence all fresh installs wont be affected. Read more about it: https://nextcloud.com/blog/urgent-security-issue-in-nginx-php-fpm/
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Resolved an issue where wg0 server fails to start if network has not yet fully initialised. Many thanks to @Joulinar for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3175
- DietPi-Software | Syncthing: Resolved an issue where fresh install failed to start due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @ralban, @mowestusa and @g7kse for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3180
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: Resolved an issue where fresh Gitea installs failed to start due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @NZRob for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6550
- DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Resolved on issue where fresh install failed to started to start due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @slopsjon, @tyjtyj and @pakikje for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6531, https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=20408#p20408
- DietPi-Software | Google AIY: Resolved an issue where fresh install failed to start due to missing permissions
- DietPi-Software | Grafana: Resolved an issue where install failed on RPi 1/Zero Buster systems. The fix includes an update of Grafana to the latest official version for those models. Many thanks to @TBail for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3213
- DietPi-Software | Jackett: Resolved an issue where the internal updater broke the Jackett instance. Automated updates can be safely enabled again. Many thanks to @ngosang for providing the workaround: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2593
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue where choosing to block public admin panel access on Nginx failed. Many thanks to @anubis-genix for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3024#issuecomment-550342684
- DietPi-Software | Java: Resolved an issue where install on ARMv6 RPis (1/Zero) on Buster system failed, since Java 11 is not ARMv6-compatible. On these system, Java 8 is now installed instead. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3182
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Resolved an issue where rTorrent and the webserver didn't have sufficient permissions to read and write ruTorrent web UI settings and data. Many thanks to @notDavid for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3244
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Updated deprecated commands and variables in our default config file. Many thanks to @bbsixzz for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3273
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Resolved an issue where ruTorrent DarkBetter theme was not installed. Many thanks to @bbsixzz for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3271

- DietPi-Software | Tor Hotspot: Resolved an issue where, since Buster, Tor fails to start due to deprecated config file entries. Many thanks to @blizarazu for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3261
- DietPi-Software | Allo web GUI: Resolved an issue where web access fails due to wrong permissions. Many thanks to @Heroldgray for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3264
- DietPi-Software | GMediaRender: Resolved an issue where service fails to start due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @fnsnyc for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3263
- DietPi-Software | GMediaRender: Resolved issues due to limited binary features by using new own compiled binaries, based on gmrender-resurrect v0.0.8. Many thanks to @fnsnyc and @hifitime for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3263, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3246
- DietPi-Software | Nextcloud: Resolved an issue where install fails due to a bug in Nextcloud 17.0.2. DietPi will now install Nextcloud 17.0.1 until the bug has been fixed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.26
(15/10/19)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- General | Support for Debian Jessie has now been fully dropped from DietPi code. Jessie systems are moved to the "jessie-support" Git branch and will stay on v6.25. Critical bugs, if reported, may still be fixed, but DietPi-Software related issues and new features will not be handled anymore by the DietPi code team. However, everyone is free to open pull requests against the jessie-support branch: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/tree/jessie-support
- General | Initial support and definitions for Debian Bullseye, the new Debian testing version, have been added to DietPi code. You can now create Bullseye systems via DietPi-PREP: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3009
- General | DietPi scripts, i.e. dietpi-software, will not overwrite you custom permissions in /mnt/dietpi_userdata anymore. Instead required permissions are now only applied for individual software titles that are being installed. Besides saving you time to re-apply custom permission, this as well enhances security in some cases where software installers/archives apply/contain stricter per-file/dir permissions. Many thanks to @JJGO and @johnvick for suggesting this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2641
- General | On first boot, when DietPi-Software finishes the initial setup, it is now assured that all APT packages, including firmware, are upgraded by performing an "apt-get dist-upgrade"/"apt full-upgrade". Since it includes upgrades regardless of underlying dependency and conflict changes, which in rare cases can perform unwanted removals, we do not do this on regualar DietPi-Update/Software runs. But on first boot, without additional packages installed yet, it is safe. Many thanks to @cmessin1 for doing this request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3098
- Rockchip | Experimental GPU acceleration support for RK3399 SoCs and ASUS Tinker Board has been re-enabled.
- RPi | The haveged daemon has been replaced with rng-tools, an alternative which does not work on all devices, but has been proven to work on RPi, is default on Raspbian and uses less RAM on idle.
- RPi4 | The default CPU temperature limit (temp_limit) has been raised from 65°C to 75°C, since this device runs significantly hotter then previous RPi model. Many thanks to @trueaspects and @Trunkzeh for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3019, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3151
- DietPi-Globals | The environment variable $G_USER_INPUTS has been renamed to $G_INTERACTIVE, which describes better what it does. When setting this to "0", DietPi scripts will run non-interactively, i.e. all whiptail dialog prompts and other tasks that require manual user input are skipped. Note that this is not required when running scripts from cron jobs or systemd units, since those have no STDIN attached which makes DietPi scripts run non-interactively automatically. Scripts will stay backwards-compatible, thus respect $G_USER_INPUTS for a while, but please adjust your scripts or docs where you make use of it. Many thanks to @AtkLordOverAll for contributing this change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3041
- DietPi-PostBoot | /var/log/boottime is not created anymore. Please use "systemd-analyze" to get much more accurate and detailed boot information.
- DietPi-PostBoot | The pre-login banner has been slightly adjusted: Default login credentials are now only shown on first boot, since the information is obsolete when user changed the password. As well an info has been added that one needs to hit <return> to show the username input field.
- DietPi-Banner/NordVPN: DietPi-NordVPN has a new input command to print the current VPN connection state: "dietpi-nordvpn status". This has been implemented as well into DietPi-Banner to optionally show NordVPN connection state on login automatically. Many thanks to @svh1985 for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3084
- DietPi-NordVPN | Added options for connection up/down scripts, e.g. to implement killswitches, answer inbound connections from outside local network correctly, safe and track connection uptime, and similar tasks. Many thanks to @svh1985 for implementing this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3047
- DietPi-Config | Audio Options: Menu has been reworked. Audio capabilities (ALSA) can be enabled and disabled as a separate option. If enabled, generic sound card auto-detection has been added to the bottom of the list for all devices. This allows the selection of generic sound devices on all SBCs, e.g. if unknown to DietPi or if our hard-coded card/device IDs are wrong due to additional attached audio hardware.
- DietPi-Config | Some /etc/modprobe.d/ configs are merged to less files and mostly prefixed with "dietpi-", to allow easier differentiation between Debian/pre-image and DietPi files.
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Update certain config.txt settings to match new firmware version. WiFi and Bluetooth is now disabled via related dtoverlays, which should further reduce hardware and firmware loads.
- DietPi-Config | Added overclocking profiles for RPi4. Many thanks to @aftensleuk for request and valuable suggestions: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6225
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Re-added previously removed options to adjust initial turbo for CPU frequency on boot and to lower the idle CPU frequency. The related firmware issues have been fixed with a recent update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3147
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Removed the option to adjust CPU frequency limits. On RPi the dynamic CPU governors only jump between "arm_freq" and "arm_freq_min", hence those limits should be set via overclocking profile and the newly re-added "ARM Idle Frequency" option.
- DietPi-Config | RPi1/Zero: OpenGL modes/drivers can now be successfully selected/installed from display resolution menu.
- DietPi-Software | TightVNC: Since Stretch, TightVNC has been replaced by TigerVNC, thus the install option has now been removed from code.
- DietPi-Software | SDL2: Since we ship a tailored build for Amiberry, the general install option for SDL2 has been removed, instead it will be installed/updated along with Amiberry. If you require SDL2 for any other purpose, please install the "libsdl2-2.0.0" package from APT repository: https://packages.debian.org/libsdl2
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Logging to /var/log/pihole.log is now disabled by default, since it is not required in usual cases. Query logs, shown in web UI, are stored in database. This might also resolve possible pihole-FTL crashes in combination with DietPi-RAMlog and DietPi-Logclear. Many thanks to @kuerious for reporting and @Mcat12 for providing helpful information on this topic: https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/issues/614
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Webserver configs have been added to block public access to the blocking page, optionally as well to the admin panel and generally block access to dot files/dirs (.git*) inside the admin panel directory. Parts are inspired by the official Lighttpd config, provided by Pi-hole: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/lighttpd.conf.debian
Many thanks to @AtkLordOverAll for his effort to implement this for Lighttpd initially + the choice during install to block public admin panel access as well: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3054
- DietPi-Software | OpenVPN: Rsyslog is not installed anymore together with OpenVPN server. Logs are available via "journalctl -u openvpn", all system logs via "journalctl". If you require persistent logs, uninstall DietPi-RAMlog via dietpi-software and make the journal boot persistent via: mkdir /var/log/journal
- DietPi-Software | Gogs: On ARMv7 and x86_64 now the latest version from GitHub is installed. Reinstalls will upgrade the version while preserving existing settings. Many thanks to @LazyLama for doing this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2999
- DietPi-Software | Webmin: Install is now done via official APT repository to allow easier updates. To apply this to all systems, it is reinstalled on DietPi-Update to v6.26. Additionally the dependency on rsyslog has been removed. The Webmin logging panel still depends on rsyslog, but the overhead shall not be applied to all systems by default. Instead users can now decide themselves, whether they need to see system logs on Webmin, or not, and in case apply custom logging settings as well.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Enabled support for RPi4 and Odroid XU4. Thanks to @midwan for providing the binaries: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3104
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Updated install steps to avoid deprecations of the current upstream version. As well the service will not run as primary group "dietpi" anymore, which is only required for software that creates media files. Many thanks to @jcorporation (developer of myMPD) for providing this information as well as a smooth build script that updates old instances gracefully: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3097
- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Since on some systems, a hostapd service mask was found, it is now unmasked on install. As well our custom compiled binaries are now only installed on RTL8188C* devices where no special Realtek hostapd package is available. Many thanks to @symbios24 for reporting the service mask issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2962
- DietPi-Software | Fail2Ban is not handled by DietPi-Services anymore, since the brute-force protection shall stay active during updates, installs, backups etc. The service is now started by systemd on boot and stays active until shutdown. Additionally on fresh installs the default jail.conf is optimised for the set "route" ban action: "blackhole" is now the route type, which does not send any respond to blocked requests.
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Support for RPi1 + RPi Zero (ARMv6 models) has been enabled by switching to Bullseye as source repo, which is available for Raspbian as well. Additionally on RPi, the WireGuard kernel module is now rebuilt automatically after kernel package upgrades. Many thanks to @johnnyt83 for suggestion RPi1/Zero support and his efforts to test the source build: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2997
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: Version 1.9.4 will be shipped from now on. Many thanks to @msongz and @minhphuc429 for implementing this update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3138, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3154
- DietPi-Software | Aria2: Runs now as it's own user "aria2" and group "dietpi" with home dir and config file moved to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/aria2/. Besides satisfying security standards, this allows other download and media related software, provided by dietpi-software, direct access to Aria2 downloads without the need for custom permission changes. Additionally the current session (download states) are saved on service stop and every 60 seconds, to prevent current tasks from being lost on reboot or power loss. Aria2 will be reinstalled with v6.26 to apply these changes. Many thanks to @msongz for implementing and testing the session feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3139
Bug Fixes:
- General | Removed an obsolete OpenMediaVault cron job and binary that was leftover on at least one of our images (NanoPi NEO2) and is not part of the current OMV packages, thus save to remove in every case. Many thanks to @kt1024 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2994
- General | Resolved an issue where install of required APT packages for certain scripts could fail in the rare case that APT lists are outdated and old packages are not available in the repo anymore.

- Rock64/RockPro64 | Resolved an issue where DietPi could not obtain the active network adapter and IP, if onboard Ethernet was used. This is because of a kernel-related bug, which seems to cause Ethernet connection instabilities as well in cases. A workaround is applied to all new Rock(Pro)64 images and via DietPi-Update. Many thanks to @svh1985 for reporting this issue, as well as searching and testing the workaround: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3066
- DietPi-Update | Resolved an issue where the script did not exit on error: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3127
- DietPi-Login | Resolved an issue during first run setup, where DietPi-Software was called with mostly wrong whiptail menu dimensions. This lead to info prompts and menus being quite small, in particular the "Install" menu entry, that one needs to select, being only visible when navigating to the bottom. Many thanks to @pbecks1963 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3053
- DietPi-NordVPN | Resolved an issue where the server menu could have wrong entries or even fail, if foreign files were placed inside the config directory. Many thanks to @svh1985 for reporting this issue and implementing a fix: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3047
- DietPi-Run_NTPD | Resolved an issue where changing time sync mode or mirror, from within time sync error prompt, led to a concurrent script execution. Many thanks to @Sopor for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3010
- DietPi-Services | Resolved an issue where single service calls failed if their names contain certain special characters, like dots. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3059
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi where I2C baudrate was not applied correctly, thus selection was ineffective. Many thanks to @flashspys for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2966
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi where headless mode did not disable all video outputs and framebuffer as intended, since the used config.txt setting has been removed with recent firmware versions.
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue on RPi4 where SDTV/composite video output did not happen when selecting the related resolution menu entries.
- DietPi-Config | On RPi4, vc4-kms-v3d option has been removed from display resolution menu, since the full KMS driver is not supported on RPi4 currently.
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where the script tells you that SQLite will be installed as pre-req, while actually a desktop is required and LXDE will be installed.
- DietPi-Software | X11/Kodi on Odroid C2: Resolved an issue on Odroid C2 where Kodi failed to start. GPU drivers and X11 config will be updated during DietPi-Update to cover this issue. Many thanks to @alexeylutskov for reporting this issue and testing the fix: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3028

- DietPi-Software | OpenVPN: Resolved an issue where install failed on Debian Buster due to a new easy-rsa version with changed commands and options. Now the most recent easy-rsa is manually downloaded on all systems to generate server and client key + cert with modern methods and the client config is slightly updated to match modern settings.
- DietPi-Software | XRDP: On Stretch, new the version from backports is installed. This resolves a critical issue where /etc/profile was not loaded to the session and, due to incomplete $PATH variable, important system binaries were not available on terminal emulators which broke many install and upgrade tasks. Furthermore this resolves an issue where install and connection of XRDP failed if IPv6 was disabled. Many thanks to @aspinks for the debug session which allowed us to track the issue down to its root: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3017
- DietPi-Software | Sonarr: Resolved an issue where install failed due to an outdated APT repository key. Many thanks to @GregoryDosh and @GulyFMG for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3029
- DietPi-Software | Plex Media Server: Resolved an issue where DietPi-Update failed for versions prior to v6.23, due to the obsolete Plex Media Server dev2day repository being offline now. This repo is now removed via pre-patches, prior to G_AGUP being called. During regular patches PMS is reinstalled, applying the new official APT repo. Many thanks to @p-roman for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3038
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Resolved an issue, where the blocking page was only shown, if the blocked URL contained the domain only, without any appending path: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/3072

Many thanks to @Trunkzeh for reporting this issue and providing the workaround: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3070
- DietPi-Software | TigerVNC: Resolved minor error messages on login and in logs: "No session for PID ...", "DE is (null); No desktop environment set, fallback to LXDE", "Use of uninitialized value $proto in socket at /usr/bin/tigervncserver"
- DietPi-Software | Netdata: Resolved an issue where install failed on Stretch systems. Many thanks to @Velociraptor85 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3062
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Resolved an issue where install failed on Buster due to changed library package version. The SDL2 library has been recompiled for Buster with minimal dependencies, thus X11 does not need to be installed anymore. Many thanks to @TuKo1982 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3104
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/3162
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.25
(03/07/19)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- System | By default the "haveged" entropy daemon is now installed on all DietPi systems and patched with v6.25. It assures the pool of random bits /dev/random stays filled by using additional sources of randomness. This solves a bunch of issues, including hanging or very long boot times, very long service (re)starts or timeout failures and on Buster hanging network access. Especially affected is PHP7.3-FPM but as well VPN servers and WiFi hotspots and potentially many other network or cryptography related tasks. More information on this topic: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2806
- System | Initial RPi4 support has been added to the code and some other rare RPi models are now detected correctly by their revision codes. Note that a new Buster-based image is required to support RPi4 and further work on DietPi-Config to support new RPi4 features. Full support is expected with DietPi v6.26, testing images can be found here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2935#issuecomment-506389899
- DietPi-FirstBoot | First boot setup steps have been moved into a separate script and systemd unit. This allows further cleanup of the regular boot process and more targeted debugging and development. Many thanks for @FredericGuilbault for implementing this enhancement: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2791
- DietPi-Autostart | When choosing an autostart option that does not require a manual UNIX user login, the autologin user can now be chosen (which was always "root" previously). This can be applied automatically on firstrun setup with the new "AUTO_SETUP_AUTOSTART_LOGIN_USER" setting within dietpi.txt. If the user does not exist, is a system user (UID < 1000) or does not have a valid login shell, it will be reverted to root. Many thanks to @FredericGuilbault for suggesting this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2926
- DietPi-Globals | G_OBTAIN_CPU_TEMP(): Added support for Core2Duo CPU temperature to be printed on e.g. DietPi-Banner and "cpu" command output. Many thanks to @OstrovCity for posting the required information: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2563#issuecomment-494388278
- DietPi-Service 2.0 | Combines dietpi-process_tool into dietpi-services. Adds I/O policies, single/global service control and much more: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2786
- DietPi-Process_tool | Has been replaced with DietPi-Services. Existing saved options will no longer be available, please use 'dietpi-services' to apply required process_tool options with the upgraded system.
- DietPi-Explorer | Disabled opening of files in nano under select a file/folder mode.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Added the option to change the I/O scheduler per drive. Many thanks to @Generator for pointing us onto this topic: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2233
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Services are not stopped directly at start of this script any more. Instead this is done only on critical tasks, e.g. transferring of DietPi userdata, the swapfile or RootFS. Further increased navigation speed by re-running the drive detection loop only when affecting changes have been made, and, by several other code enhancements.
- DietPi-Config | APT Cache: We added new options to "dietpi-config" > "Advanced Options" > "APT Cache" to disable the APT cache or move cache, repo lists and/or package download dir to RAM. By default we disable the APT cache, which saves 50 - 100 MiB disk writes on each "apt-get update" call, but slows down "apt-cache" calls: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2840
- DietPi-Config | RTC mode: When selecting this option, a menu with additional info is shown instead of just toggling the state. Many thanks to @Sopor for this suggestion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2826
- DietPi-Config | Audio Options (RPi): I-Sabre-K2M/Q2M sound card drivers are now integrated into the RPi kernel. These are now enabled on selection instead of compiling the drivers from source: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2690
- DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI FOSS voice assistant is now available for install. Many thanks to @LexiconCode for the initial request and all other requesters, FeatHub voters and testers: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/1701
- DietPi-Software | Resolved some misleading outputs when having VNC Server or GPU using software installed. Many thanks to @mtpiercey for reporting these issues: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2870
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Lowered UMask (007 => 002) to allow read access from e.g. custom Samba shares without "dietpi" user. Many thanks to @radsb for reporting the limited access: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5847
- DietPi-Software | FFmpeg: On RPi, the new APT repo package will be installed, which now supports RPi hardware acceleration and is some subversion newer then the package hosted on dietpi.com: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/869#issuecomment-490047405
- DietPi-Software | Gitea: Current stable v1.8.X will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update. Many thanks to @msongz for implementing this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2881
- DietPi-Software | myMPD: Current upstream version will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update, which requires a config file reset. A backup to recover custom settings from will be created: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2156#issuecomment-497513129
- DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Current upstream version will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update. Existing config and database will be preserved. YouTube and Tidal support is added now by default. Many thanks to @ArturSierzant for giving valuable feedback and suggestions: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2884
- DietPi-Software | Ampache: Reinstalls will now preserve existing configs and database.
- DietPi-Software | Medusa: mediainfo is now installed to enable Medusa gathering meta data and resolving related warnings in log. Additionally, on Stretch and above, Python3 is now installed and used, as recommended by Medusa for a while. Many thanks to @bluesmoke for suggesting this enhancement: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5945
- DietPi-Software | Node-RED: "sudo" permissions are now enabled by default: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2910
Bug Fixes:
- Network | Resolved an issue where an unintended Ethernet/WiFi IP value was shown if no IP is assigned.
- DietPi-Boot | Waiting for network timer now includes the start of 'ifup' for the device. This is to speed up boot time by threading the ifup command and allowing the wait timer to be more accurate.
- DietPi-Login | Resolved an issue where login leads to immediate logout if DietPi scripts were not loaded to DietPi-RAMdisk location. Many thanks to @LexiconCode for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2841#issuecomment-494567292
- DietPi-Update | Resolved an issue where after update and reboot DietPi-Banner still shows update available with identical current and server versions.
- DietPi-Cleaner | Resolved an issue where the cleaner ran into an endless loop if "Files" cleaner was used. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2837
- DietPi-PREP | Resolved an issue where ifupdown (networking service) was autoremoved, which broke running network connections.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where idle spin down selection would always default to 241, instead of currently active value: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2852
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where eCryptfs fstab entries were not detected and preserved correctly. Many thanks to @johnvick for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=18428#p18283
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where transferring the RootFS to a BTRFS formatted drive fails. Since BTRFS support is not natively built into the RPi and Odroid kernel, a warning prompts and the transfer is aborted. Many thanks to @dieitpi for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=18164#p18164
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where on x86_64 systems a specific Seagate drive, attached via USB, does not spin down on idle. Many thanks to @tomillr for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2905
- DietPi-Config | (RPi) Resolved an issue where selecting sound cards with vc4 enabled would result with incorrect ALSA card index: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2173
- DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where selecting any locale (language) failed, which does not contain "UTF-8" in its name. DietPi only supports UTF-8 locales, but those available with UTF-8 only, do not have the ".UTF-8" suffix in their name.
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue on Buster systems that were dist-upgraded manually from Stretch, where DietPi-Software failed to obtain the global software password. Many thanks to @MattL0 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2937
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where audio software failed to use hardware acceleration on Buster. Users need to be part of the new "render" group on Buster to have permissions. Many thanks to @tomillr for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2916
- DietPi-Software | MotionEye: Resolved an issue on ARMv6 where install failed due to PHP Buster repo conflicts. Many thanks to @infinitejones for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2888
- DietPi-Software | Ampache: Resolved an issue where database connection failed when a custom global software password (other than "dietpi") was chosen. Many thanks to @WarHawk for reporting this issue and solution: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=15771#p15771
- DietPi-Software | Desktops: Resolved an issue where PolicyKit failed when logging in via LightDM as non-root user, which broke shutdown and reboot options from logout panel. Many thanks to @magus7091 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5850
- DietPi-Software | Transmission: Resolved an issue where settings applied via web UI did not survive a service restart or reboot. Many thanks to @chosen_too and @th0maz for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=17927#p17927
- DietPi-Software | Docker: The official Docker installer now supports Debian Buster and a workaround for the still missing Raspbian Buster support has been implemented. Many thanks to @Qarasique for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2891
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/2950
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.24.1
(18/05/19 Hotfix)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.24
(15/05/19 Hotfix)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-Software | Emby + Plex Server: Enabled access to DietPi network mounts and media files by default. Many thanks to @ilgrank for reporting this missing feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2801
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud + phpBB: Support had to be disabled on ARMv6 for now until we either find a way to install PHP7.2 (with all required modules) outside of sury.org (which does not support ARMv6) or those enable support for PHP7.3 (expected with ownCloud 10.3 and phpBB 3.3).
Bug Fixes:
- DietPi-Software | PHP: Resolved a critical issue where PHP install/update broke ARMv6 devices since Debian armhf does not support ARMv6 like Raspbian does. Many thanks for the fast user reports: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2794
- DietPi-Software | PHP: Resolved an issue where APT upgrade can fail due to insufficient sury.org APT repo preferences. Many thanks to @sifyer for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2795
- DietPi-WiFi-Monitor | Resolved a failure due to false concurrency check. Many thanks to @GulyFMG for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2802

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.23
(12/05/19)
Jessie support:
- The support for Debian Jessie is fading constantly by software titles and Debian itself, increasing the effort for us to work around the raising issues: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2332
- As a result we move Jessie systems to a dedicated "jessie-support" branch. Next DietPi v6.24 will still be merged into this branch as well, but for following updates it depends on how much additional related issues we face.
- We highly recommend to migrate to Stretch as fast as possible.
- Odroid C1: We have updated the image to Stretch based on Armbian 4.18 kernel. Existing Jessie installations will be moved to the jessie-support branch: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2561
Buster support:
- DietPi-Software | Resolved the last failing installs on Debian Buster systems by either fixing or disabling them: phpMyAdmin and Tomcat8 are currently not available on non-RPi Buster systems.
- DietPi on Debian Buster x86_64 systems can be considered as compatible and stable now. On ARM devices some last software install tests are outstanding, especially on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian particularities. We will ship experimental images for testing purpose soon.
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-Banner | Added support for DietPi message of the day (MOTD). This is enabled by default, however, can be disabled. Checks for latest MOTD once a day.
- DietPi-Banner | Always prints the local IP during boot mode display: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2681
- DietPi-Benchmark | Increased default survey RootFS and RAM benchmark sizes. 100 MiB (from 10 MiB) for RootFS. RAM is 1/4 of available. This is ensure a more accurate calculation of throughput when we divide bytes against time, to obtain the MB/s result. Benchmarks now also run at Nice -19 and realtime I/O with priority 0 (highest).
- DietPi-Cleaner | Added a confirmation prompt, before removal of offline docs and man pages, as this may cause APT issues in some circumstances. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2751
- DietPi-LetsEncrypt | When applying to Lighttpd, "webroot" authentication is now used instead of "standalone". This allows the auto-renewal service to succeed while Lighttpd is running. Many thanks to @minnux for testing this method: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2680#issuecomment-480095449
- DietPi-Arr_to_RAM | With v6.18 we silently added a new script (for Stretch and above) that allows linking Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr database files to RAM, increasing access performance, reducing disk I/O and avoiding constant external HDD spinning due to the very regular access to these files. This script has gone through some rework and polishing and can now be enabled to automatically link those databases to RAM on boot and store them back to disk on shutdown. For more details read: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5828. Many thanks to @Dr0bac for providing valuable input and testing the development progress constantly: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2689
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | eCryptfs and vboxsf (VirtualBox shared folder) fstab entries are now preserved. Many thanks to @johnvick and @Phil1988 for suggesting: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2078, https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2202
- DietPi-PREP | The script execution can now be fully automated via environment variables. Many thanks to @FredericGuilbault for adding this feature: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2756
- DietPi-Config | Added support to toggle Intel CPU turbo/boost mode. Requires Intel CPU that supports the feature.
- DietPi-Config | G_CHECK_URL: Added ability to change the connection attempts and timeout, before DietPi URL checking assumes a dead link and failure: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2717
- DietPi-Config | Serial/UART device handling has been reworked. Serial login consoles can now be toggled for every found serial device individually. On RPi the primary UART can be completely disabled and warnings are prompted if Bluetooth and login console are to be enabled both on ttyAMA0. On update existing systems will be patched so that serial-getty masks and enabled instances are removed if the related serial device does not exist. This solves some error messages during boot.
- DietPi-Config | Network Adapter menu has been cleaned up. Proxy variables are now sourced from "/etc/bashrc.d/dietpi-proxy.sh" and proxy setup outside of DietPi scripts is detected.
- DietPi-NordVPN | Added ability to toggle auto start/connect during boot.
- DietPi-Software | Subsonic: Package has been updated to v6.1.5. Many thanks to @spectrumcomputing: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2702
- DietPi-Software | PHP: All systems will be upgraded to PHP7.3 for security, performance, compatibility and consistency across distro versions. Ondrejs (official Debian PHP maintainer) PHP repository (sury.org) is used for this on Jessie and Stretch, so general functionality and trustworthiness is assured. ownCloud and phpBB users will stay on PHP7.2 for where PHP7.3 is not yet supported. Your PHP configurations will be backed up and webserver configurations adjusted to match the new version. Nextcloud 13 and earlier, especially Jessie systems, will be upgraded to Nextcloud 14 to allow PHP7.3. A full Nextcloud backup will be done, your data, settings and custom apps will be preserved. We strongly advice to further upgrade to the current Nextcloud major version via its web UI updater.
- DietPi-Software | Subsonic: Runs now as limited user "subsonic". This change is as well applied to existing installs via patch during DietPi-Update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2705
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard APT packages are now upgraded when running "apt-get upgrade". Many thanks to @swrobel for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2671
- DietPi-Software | LXQt, GIMP, XFCE4 Power manager: Now available for installations.
- DietPi-Software | Plex Media Server: All systems are migrated to the new official APT repository. This allows easy and consistent upgrades via APT. On ARM systems the until now used 3rd party dev2day repo receives no further updates and will be shut down soon, which makes the migration mandatory. Many thanks to @WolfganP for keeping us informed with news about Plex v1.15 and the new APT repo: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2655
- DietPi-Software | Logitech Media Server: Now installs the latest nightly version, since no public "releases" are done. As well the systemd service has gone through some update and now runs as limited user to align with other media servers, enhance security and follow the defaults of the DPKG package. The update/change is applied to existing installs via DietPi-Update as well. Your settings/date are preserved.
- DietPi-Software | Nextcloud Talk: We do not apply (D)TLS settings to coTURN any more. Since WebRTC is encrypted by itself there is no security benefit. More importantly Nextcloud Talk does not make use of the required TURNS protocol, so there is absolutely no point to apply these settings. The (D)TLS feature is meant to allow passing firewalls that only allow encrypted traffic. WebRTC, although encrypted, might not pass such firewalls since the encryption is not on transport layer. For those how are interested in further details and discussion: https://github.com/coturn/coturn/issues/33, https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/257
- DietPi-Software | SABnzbd: Install latest version via GitHub master and skip adjusting existing config file. systemd unit and dependencies have been adjusted to match minimum requirements and official documentation. The update will be applied via DietPi v6.23 patch as well. Many thanks to @19eighties for reporting the outdated version: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2762
- DietPi-Software | Jackett: On non-ARMv6 devices the new (v0.11+) standalone (non-mono) binary is installed now. This is applied on DietPi-Update as well, preserving your settings: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2773
- DietPi-Software | Blynk: Enabled support for Debian Buster by using the new Java 11 binary.
- DietPi-Software | UrBackup: New version 2.3.8 is installed now. Many thanks to @DeathIsUnknown for informing us about the update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2783

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.22
(23/03/19)
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- Security | The DietPi-Software global password is now stored with enhanced security which also resolves a warning on Buster systems: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2213
- System | /etc/bashrc.d/ now allows ".bash" file ending as well. We merged all contained DietPi scripts into one (/etc/bashrc.d/dietpi.bash): https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2636
- General | DietPi scripts now use the lightweight standalone "7zr" command to handle 7z archives. This allows us to lower the DietPi core package dependency from "p7zip-full" to "p7zip".
- RPi | DietPi does not set or change "framebuffer_depth" in config.txt any more which defaults to 16 which works in every known case. It will be re-added as fast as we find a case where another value is required.
- DietPi-Banner | You can now customise which options to display during system login. These include CPU temps, WAN IP, free disk space and more! Simply run 'dietpi-banner': https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2627
- DietPi-NordVPN | Added sent/received usage stats for VPN tunnel.
- DietPi-Sync | Sync will now abort if the source directory is empty. Merged dry run into real sync, as this was performed anyway to do required free space check. When "Sync" is selected, after dry run the user is presented a summary and given the option to view the detailed dry run log, cancel or continue with real sync. Some other minor fixes and enhancements have been applied as well. Many thanks to @midnightwatcher for doing this request: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5588
- DietPi-Software | Emby Server: Now installs the latest version automatically (currently 4.0.2) which as well offers a native ARMv8 package: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2525
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Switched from 10.8.0.0 to 10.9.0.0 IP addresses on fresh installs to avoid doubled IP range use with OpenVPN. Many thanks to @XRay437 for pointing this out: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2491#issuecomment-461366739
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Changed the way users are advised to add multiple clients, to enhance concurrent connections. Many thanks to @curiosity-seeker for reporting and testing this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2491#issuecomment-462419860
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard: Hardened Debian Sid repo handling on RPi to prevent accidental non-WireGuard package installs. Many thanks to @rucknapucknavitz @1985kasper and @g7kse for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2568#issuecomment-465725312
- DietPi-Software | GMediaRender: Enabled support for Debian/Raspbian Buster by using the up-to-date APT repo package.
- DietPi-Software | Aria2: Tweaked settings to enhance 3rd party plugin support and removed deprecated/doubled entries. Many thanks to @msongz for the commit: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2538
- DietPi-Software | UrBackup: Now installs updated version 2.3.7. Many thanks to @DeathIsUnknown for the information: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2577
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: Reworked the installer to better match the Debian package defaults and recommendations/examples from official docs. Deluge now runs as user "debian-deluged", logs have been moved to "/var/log/deluged/" and the init.d service with its traces are removed, which are all pre-generated by the Debian APT package. The systemd units have been adjusted according to the official Deluge documentation. These changes are applied as well to existing installs during DietPi update, the old user "deluge" and obsolete configurations are removed. Your active configurations and data are preserved, the installer has been as well enhanced to better handle existing installs and never touch existing configs. Note that access to the Deluge console has to be done as user "debian-deluged" (sudo -u debian-deluged deluge-console). A related access issue to the console has been fixed by this as well. Many thanks to @seanmikhaels for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5525
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to latest version (2.25), thanks @midwan: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2599

- DietPi-Software | DietPi-RAMlog: When installing/enabling RAMlog, the /var/log mount point will be now cleaned before mounting the tmpfs on it, while preserving the existing logs metadata. This resolves a warning on early boot stage and frees the disk space consumed by the disk log before.
- DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Runs now as user "rtorrent" and creates files as group "dietpi" with 775/664 permissions. Enabled Buster support and enhanced config file handling on reinstall: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2633
- DietPi-Software | Plex Media Server: Now installs the latest version automatically (currently 1.15) which as well includes official ARM binaries. Many thanks to @WolfganP for informing us about this new release: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2553

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.20
(28/01/19)
Image line-up:
- We removed Jessie images from our download server (besides for Odroid C1), since we see no advantage to use them anymore. Existing Jessie systems are still supported, but we encourage all users to consider switching to a fresh Stretch image by times: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2332
Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
- DietPi-PREP | Removed the option to install a Jessie system. Removed the option to install DietPi on top of a Wheezy image, since an upgrade over two distro version would be required, which is not reliable. It is still possible to install DietPi on top of a Jessie image, where a distro upgrade to Stretch would be applied: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2332
- General | RPi-Update: In our effort to improve system stability, and, offer software installations which build custom modules (e.g. WireGuard), we can not longer support systems with non-stock APT kernel installed. If "rpi-update" is installed during update, DietPi will prompt and return you back to stock APT kernel.
- General | Moved the remaining conf/* files located on DietPi-RAMdisk to /var/lib/dietpi or into DietPi-PREP, and removed /DietPi/dietpi/conf completely. These files were only used once or never, thus have no business inside the RAMdisk.
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Improved available options for HDMI boost setting: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2350
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Headless display mode is now applied via undocumented config.txt setting. Removed/Replaced some other obsolete config.txt entries: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2402
- DietPi-Config | RPi: Added info to "hifiberry-dacplus" sound device overlay that it supports the AMP2 DAC. Thanks to @Lat Dior for reporting the issue and testing the solution: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5396
- DietPi-Config | WiFi Hotspot: You can now toggle support for 802.11 N. Please note this is device and compatibility dependent, mileage may vary.
- DietPi-Drive_Manager | Now allows to check & repair the boot file system and trigger it for root file system on next reboot: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/1740#issuecomment-388325204
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Updated to v2.24, thanks @midwan! Brings several bug fixes, new features and improvements over the previous version (2.19). Please check the version history for full details on the changes made: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Version-history
- DietPi-Software | DietPi-NordVPN: Now available for installation. Includes a GUI which allows for easy connection to a list of NordVPN servers 'dietpi-nordvpn'. If you need a NordVPN subscription, please use this link: https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=5305&url_id=902
- DietPi-Software | WireGuard VPN is now available for installation. Is can be easily configured as client or as server, passing either all client traffic through the tunnel, local network access only, or server access only, e.g. as well in combination with Pi-hole, to have remote ad blocking.
- DietPi-Software | SickRage has been replaced by Medusa, which is now available for install: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2239
- DietPi-Software | Blynk: Reinstalls now preserve existing config files; New directory structure and blynk user (v6.19) is patched now as well to existing installs: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2324
- DietPi-Software | Plex Media Server: Updated to v1.14.0 on x86 images, switch to HTTPS ARM repo and automated locale switch to en_US.UTF-8: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2294
- DietPi-Software | Nextcloud Talk: Disabled the very verbose coturn logging by default to reduce disk I/O. This can be overridden via /etc/turnserver.conf: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2321
- DietPi-Software | Deluge: UMask 002 applied to all downloads: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2339
- DietPi-Software | Netdata: Updated to v1.11.1 and now runs as user "netdata": https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2337
- DietPi-Software | ownCloud/Nextcloud: Updated webserver configs to match current recommendations and security hardenings. Only applied on new installs. To apply manually, run "dietpi-software reinstall 47" (ownCloud) or "dietpi-software reinstall 114" (Nextcloud). You will be informed about the new configs, which then need to be manually moved to overwrite the old ones, since we don't want to mess with manual changes: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/2361

Many thanks to PINE64, for becoming our 1st Patreon Legend and supporting our project! As one of their rewards, you will see PINE64 displayed on login via the DietPi-Banner.
Known issues / In progress:
DietPi-Software | Open Bazaar: Installation updated to server version 2, which now runs via go language. At the current state, client OB connections are failing, still under investigation: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/1090#issuecomment-419613346
Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:
General | Changed Survey and Bugreport uploads to use ssh.dietpi.com (previously IP): https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2022#issuecomment-415470064
General | 1st run setup and dietpi-update logs are now created in RAM, then copied to disk once completed '/var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-firstrun-setup.log'. This will speed up 1st run setup installation for slow SBCs and/or rootFS.
General | PineA64: Image updated to v6.14, also contains the latest kernel/uboot by Ayufan (0.6.2): https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2026

DietPi-Backup | Added an option to delete the currently selected backup, if it exists.
DietPi-Config | Advanced Options: You can now toggle if a real RTC is installed. This adds/removes 'fake-hwclock' package installation as requested: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2041
DietPi-Config | Added support for setting CPU min/max frequencies on Intel based CPUs. NB: 'cpu' command will always list the min/max frequencies read from kernel values, Intel CPUs do not update these values, however, you can gauge CPU frequency range by running 'cpu' to monitor the current CPU freq (use of stress test in 'dietpi-config' may also help).
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Added support to set a global idle duration, before drives are powered down. This feature uses hdparm. Not all drives will support this feature, however, its the best we can do, considering the lack of any standardised system across all drives, compatible with hdparm and visa versa: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2001

DietPi-Drive_Manager | Correctly handles bind mounts, contained within '/etc/fstab': https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2013
DietPi-Process_Tool | Resolved an issue with PIDs no longer existing, causing an apply to fail: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2059
