And I’m back with yet another update. I had some spare time the last two days and worked on a lot of still missing details.
openHABian has reached version v0.9 and it’s at my personal “Definition of Done”. Sure, a few optional components will still be added and some small bugs might be found, but the core system and the openhabian-config menu are at a state of conceptional completeness.
I am welcoming everyone to use openHABian and actively take part in improving it by proposing new ideas or finding bugs.
New in this version:
- Fix: the bash shell prompt wrap was broken by custom PS1
- Fix: the provided bashrc was messing with SFTP
- Fix: A major bug with the locale settings has been patched (waiting on Issue response)
-
rpi-configis now preinstalled as well, you should use it once - The early menu version was overhault and now includes a lot more options
- Execute the menu in the console with
sudo openhabian-config(similar tosudo raspi-config) - Now included:
- Java 8 by WebUpd8Team
- Homegear
- Mosquitto
- Bind Karaf Console to all interfaces
- The menu can now update itself!
- Many small fixes
- All changes…
Once again, I want to point out that the project was initially used to build and then configure a Raspberry Pi but has since then evolved and can now also be used on other Debian/Ubuntu based systems. Testers, arise! 
openHABian v0.9 represents a solid base and with the integrated updater, you will be able to benefit from additions over time without the need to redo your whole system. I’ll leave this version here for testing and will turn it into the final v1.0 if no big problems present themselves.
Flash, Fiddle, Enjoy!!
