Is there a way to change the SSID & password without having access to the SD card or any connectors (without having change your router SSID and password to some preconfigured values already in the Pi). Like a AP mode where you first wifi connect directly to the pi and then set the info for the local router. You know, the same way every $5 IOT device in the entire world works???? Even my dozen or so $1 ESP8266 embedded devices have this ability - if the STA_IF network isn't up I can have it bring up the AP_IF and connect connect and reconfigure things without physical connectivity.
@@DataSlayerMedia That requires you are already connected to the network. Picture bringing the device to a new location. SSID and Password unknown till you get there. No access to SD card or USB connector. Apparently there is no way to reconfigure the WiFi settings. Which makes it fairly useless as an easy to use IOT solution. Compare that to every cheap IOT device out there that has a station mode to direct connect and configure router settings for the first time (e.g. wemo outlet, sonoff, etc)
easier way block all ip addresses except your own external ip on your ssh config inside your pi and ssh pi@{your External ip) bonus points if you connect with a ssh key
@@DataSlayerMedia I'm a firm believer that there's always a hacker that could access your device i just hope they don't spend too much time getting to mine only to realize im using it to learn docker and there no sensitive data on there
only the router's web page worked for me to get the IP address. i chose Debian instead of Rasberry Pi OS and so cannot get in to SSH (those WPA and SSH files were already there, , though). For regular Debian, SSH has no default for security reasons, so I'd like to goto the SD card (while its in my PC) to add a few lines to a few files to add a user and password for SSH. I am hoping to `sudo nano ` my way through the process. Any ideas? i found the path to one or two of the correct ssh config files, but....am lost.
You can use nano instead of VIM they are both text editor's. For debian OS ssh will be enabled by default but likely blocked OOTB via firewall rules. I'm not sure there is a way to enable ssh on debian without a hard connection to the device at least initially.
Files are inaccessible
how can i access those files
it says there is an error
You are a life saver! I needed to urgently ssh to a pi and did not have a screen.
Thanks for content!
... is this the Ryan Reynolds of IT?
Thanks
where are the files?
At 10:50 how did you exit the job.js?
to find ip of the pi you dont really need the web window for ur router just get advansed ip scaner and connect to the 2.4 gig internet
extra tip you can easyly ssh into it using putty
how did you save and exit that html file?
In vim esc + colon + "x' + enter
@@DataSlayerMedia solid, that took me longer than I want to admit
dude i do need help of this lately..xx

connect over SSH, then run raspi-config and modify network connections

As long as the wifi network is protected then hackers could not access the RPI device correct?

My pi doesn't have wifi, guy.
Headless with an ethernet adapter?
Not connected to a router.
those files are inaccessible
I only have 5ghz internet :(
Why are you so sad
Because you didn't subscribe!

@@DataSlayerMedia No one seems to know. I gave up and Raspberry Pi OS LITE worked almost instantaneously.
