Purpose of This Repository

This repository contains the source code for Armbian Config, a versatile and extremly lightweight configuration utility designed to simplify and automate common system tasks within the Armbian Linux environment.

Armbian Config provides interactive and scriptable routines for:

• Initial system setup and personalization
• Networking configuration, including Wi-Fi, VPN, and static IP
• Sandboxed software installation and system updates
• Kernel selection, switching, and firmware management
• Enabling and managing hardware-specific features

It is especially useful for single board computers (SBCs), helping users quickly prepare a ready-to-use system without manual intervention.

Quick Start

Armbian Config comes preinstalled with Armbian images.

To launch the utility:

1. Open a terminal (locally or via SSH)
2. Run the following command:

armbian-config

Compatibility

This tool is optimized for use with Armbian Linux, but in theory, it should also work on any systemd-based, APT-compatible Linux distribution — including Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Kali Linux, MX Linux, Parrot OS, Proxmox, Raspberry Pi OS, and others.
