@ThomDietrich and @lon3 [edit: I hit return too fast]
just fyi in case you are not aware of this already, another activity for a preconfigured image was just recently announced:
https://community.openhab.org/t/openhabian-hassle-free-rpi-image/13379
Not sure whether it is comparable of course, but focused efforts might help bring more clarity to the developments.
Thanks!
