raspi-config command line parameter

[Borner]

Hi,

is there a way to use the raspi-config utility in an non-interactive mode? For example with command line parameters to set / enable some parameters.
I like to use the raspi-config in installation scripts.

1) "raspi-config" is a shell script, so it is inspectable. I took a brief look through, and found...

2) It looks like there is some effort to making it command-line-drivable, but it didn't actually get implemented (yet). Take a look at the script (at the end) and you'll see what I mean.

3) If you really wanted to, you could probably drive it with Expect. That's what I always do in these sorts of situations.

Short answer: no this is not possible.

Long answer: raspi-config is just a script, so you can examine what it does when an option is selected. You can copy the relevant instructions into your installation script.

I realize this is an old thread, but I wanted to share my recent success with calling particular routines out of raspi-config from the command line.

Essentially, I found that I could source the raspi-config script like so:

Code: Select all

$ . raspi-config nonint

The 'nonint' argument there tells the script to run in non-interactive mode which looks like it allows the script to define all of its internal functions, but not actually run anything.

At this point, I can then call functions from inside the script. For example, to enable i2c I can run:

Code: Select all

$ do_i2c 0

This is still not documented anywhere, but the rc_gui tool (I'm assuming it would be a graphical user interface to the raspi-config if I were to ever install the full desktop) uses command line options to the raspi-config bash script. You can see the full list of options in the C source code https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/rc_gu ... .c#L23-L70
