openHABian hassle-free openHAB Setup

Yet another small update.

  • dialout and serial port: User openhab is now member of groups dialout and tty (on a fresh installation). Additionally a menu entry is now available to activate the serial port needed for peripheral devices like the Razberry or SCC. This has been a long awaited change and was asked for by @Skalleno, @jaydee73, @Branden_Smale, @jever1966, @rlkoshak, @jtmoderate876, …
    Thanks to GitHub user bodiroga for helping with the implementation details.

  • Move root to usb device: A new menu entry now provides the possibility to move the system to an external USB stick or SSD. This option was interesting to many and has been provided by @peter_juenger Thanks! (GitHub PR, Discussion)

  • extended FAILED info text: The posted screenshots by @jtmoderate876 here reminded me to extend the failure text after an unsuccessful setup process…

  • easy wifi setup for RPi3: available in the menu. Provided by @Vincent. Thanks!

  • pre-installation configuration: fundamental things like setting the hostname, locales, a timezone or fix IP settings are now possible through a configuration file. This option is (in contrast to the rest) part of the image and will be available only with release v1.0.

  • many small changes: commit history
