DietPi is a lightweight Debian-based operating system (OS) intended for use on single-board computers (SBCs). It is optimized for minimum resource usage and provides a rich set of software packages. If you're looking to install DietPi on OpenSUSE, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Go to the DietPi website and download the version of the software that is designed for your SBC. DietPi supports a wide range of SBCs, including the Raspberry Pi, ODROID, Pine A64, and Banana Pi, among others.
After you've downloaded the DietPi image, extract it to a convenient location on your computer.
Using a tool like Etcher, write the DietPi image to an SD card. Make sure that the SD card is large enough to accommodate the DietPi image and any additional software packages that you may want to install.
Insert the SD card into your SBC and power it on. If this is your first time installing DietPi on your SBC, you will need to connect a keyboard and mouse to configure the initial setup.
Once your SBC has booted up, you will be presented with the DietPi setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your SBC. This will include selecting your preferred language, keyboard layout, timezone, and network settings. You will also be asked to create a password for the root user.
Once you've completed the initial setup, you can install additional software packages using the DietPi software installer. This can be accessed by typing "dietpi-software" into the terminal. The software installer allows you to select from a wide range of packages, including web servers, media servers, database servers, and more.
That's it! You've successfully installed DietPi on your OpenSUSE system. Enjoy using the lightweight and resource-efficient operating system to run your applications and services.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
