raspberryPi 3

DietPi notes

trying it out for the zeroW

DietPi specific commands

Here are the few commands DietPi offers you to manage your system:

  • To go back to the installation wizard I showed you at anytime, you can use:
    dietpi-software
  • To only see and edit the configuration part (raspbian-config equivalent), just use:
    dietpi-config
    Here you’ll find all the basic things you saw during the installation wizard: network, display, audio, etc.
  • To check if a new DietPi version is available for your Raspberry Pi, use:
    dietpi-update
  • Another great tool I like is to back up your DietPi system, before moving to another device:
    dietpi-backup
    It allows you to save your files to a specific location, you can choose what include or exclude
    And obviously you can restore a backup from here 
  • Here are the other dietpi commands you can check if interested
    I use them less, so I let you try them yourself:
