Hello all, I've been attempting to setup motion eye OS on a pi zero (yes I'm aware this isn't officially supported by the pi foundation this is more of a case of checking to see if anyone else here has experience with what I'm attempting to do and if they have found a solution).
For those unaware motioneye OS will not boot if it does not find a network connection which is well... stupid but its feature set is right for what I'm doing. Normally you can get around this by simply setting a wireless network to auto connect in the wpa_supplicant file per their instructions here. However, the wi-fi network I'm attempting to connect it to is unsecured and I've found simply leaving out the password field causes it to fail. Further every time it fails to start it boot loops which requires complete re-installation of the OS to fix which has become tedious at this point after multiple failed attempts to work around it.

Update: After another 4-5 tries I found out the quotation marks on the official guide are not "normal" simple text quotation marks but something else which makes copying/pasting them useless. Adding key_mgmt=NONE and replacing the quotation marks resolved the issue.
