netPI setup procedure - tad - March-15th-2021

Dear Armin,

How can I set up my own netPI environment on a brand new netPI in the shortest time?

Currently, I do the following steps.
If possible, I want to find more easy and quick procedure.

1. Executing a netPI recovery with a USB stick. (the system software version when validating my own application is applied.)
2. Setting up a new password, date&time and so on.
3. Import my own container images which are backed up before.
4. Deploy container images. Before deploying, some parameter settings (Privileged mode=on, drivers' designations,,,) should be done manually.

Thank you very much for your information.
Best regards,

Well using the recovery stick can't be automated. So this procedure you need to do in any case manually.

But the rest could be done automated instead of doing it all manually using netPI' http REST API.

So you can control your netPI via http:// commands from any other local PC/notebook/station as you would do it in the browser described here https://forum.hilscher.com/thread-317.html using standard https:// commands. Setting a password ... setting network settings, enabling docker ... etc.

Once the Docker is enabled netPI supports an additional REST API of docker as described here https://forum.hilscher.com/thread-369.html?highlight=rest.

So there are two REST APIs, once for netPI's basic setting and then one for Docker.

Thx
Armin
