# device-init

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hypriot/device-init.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hypriot/device-init)

The `device-init` runs while booting your device and can customize some settings of the device.

To replace the `/boot/occidentalis.txt` (as we want this feature for more boards than the RPi) and to enhance the possibilities to customize the SD card image at first boot, we want to introduce this tool `device-init` that read customizations from the FAT partition `/boot/device-init.yaml` so it is easier to write it onto the SD card image.

* ☑ Set hostname

* ☑ Set WiFi SSID/PSK

* ☐ Set timezone

* ☐ Set locale

* ☐ Set static IP (see hypriot/device-init#6)

* ☑ Pull some docker images

* ☐ Install a list of DEB packages

* ☑ Run a custom script from /boot

* ...

## The /boot/device-init.yaml

The `device-init` tool reads the file `/boot/device-init.yaml` to initialize several settings while booting your device.

### Hostname

```yaml

hostname: "black-pearl"

```

### Wifi Settings

```yaml

wifi:

  interfaces:

    wlan0:

      ssid: "MyNetwork"

      password: "secret_password"

```

### Docker Preload Images Settings

device-init can preload local image files into the Docker engine on boot.

Those images have to be exported via 'docker save image-name > image-name.tar'.

It is recommended to compress the output of 'docker save' with 'gzip image-name.tar' which results in a image-name.tar.gz file.

```yaml

docker:

  images:

    - "/path/to/image-name.tar.gz"

    - "/path/to/another-image-name.tar"

```

### Run a Command

device-init can execute a list of commands on boot. e.g.:

```yaml

runcmd:

  - "apt-get install package-name"

  - "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../myscript.sh | sh"

```

Make sure that the command lines do not produce YAML syntax errors. You can check [here](http://www.yamllint.com/)  

### Hypriot Cluster-Lab

device-init can start the Hypriot Cluster-Lab on start up by setting the 'run_on_boot' option to 'true'.

```

clusterlab:

  service:

    run_on_boot: "false"

```
