If you are stuck for ideas regarding the new password, for the duration of this Deep Dive ONLY consider using your WLAN Pi hostname
wlanpi-xxx
The first time you login to Cockpit you will be in 'limited access mode' Look to the top-right corner of the WebUI interface Click on 'Turn on administrative access'
Now please have a poke around, explore what functionality is exposed by Cockpit GUI
Updating your WLAN Pi
Most utilities / functions on the WLAN Pi can be updated through the built-in package management system. This is accessed via:
Cockpit > Software Updates
CLI >
sudo wlanpi-update
Checking for updates requires an internet connection
STOP
Don't plug your WLAN Pi into the ethernet cable just yet, please
We do not need to check for updates right now
When is re-imaging required?
System level updates will be made occasionally that may require re-imaging your microSD card
If you choose to re-image your SD card with the latest release of WLAN Pi OS, this will come with the latest version of all the default packages.
Timezone Update
Click time, I think you can figure out the rest ;)
Terminal
The menu option at the bottom of the left side panel is 'Terminal'
For the duration of the DeepDive this web based terminal is going to be our default method for accessing the WLAN Pi terminal
