[fedora-arm] first boot without keyboard and monitor

[Wolfgang Maier]

Dear all,

as a prospective first-time user of Fedora Server on a Raspberry Pi3:

is it possible to do the first-boot system configuration through a
remote connection? I'm not planning to have a monitor and a keyboard
attached to the Pi ever and would not like to do it on first boot either
unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Not by default, Fedora doesn't come with default accounts because it's
not secure so you're generally expected to create them on first boot
to ensure you set something unique. There's the --norootpass and/or
--addkey= options to arm-image-installer that allow you to add a ssh
key or allow no root passoword for headless if you really must do it
that way.

I see. Adding a ssh key actually sounds like a good option to me. Thanks
for pointing it out (I had missed it on the wiki page).

Best,
Wolfgang

Another approach, that I use all the time, is a uart to usb converter
then run something like screen to give you access to the console. The
character mode installer works fine this way.
