My Umbrel was connected to wifi prior to the OS update to 1.0.4. After the update it only connects with ethernet and even after I re-add the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the SD card, it is still not connecting.
Please see the following:
SSH (Secure Shell) is a way to access and control a device, such as your Umbrel server running on a Umbrel Home or Raspberry Pi, via the command line. To access Umbrel via SSH, follow these steps:
Open a terminal window on your computer. On macOS, you can open the Terminal app that’s installed by default on every Mac. On Windows, you can open Command Prompt or the PowerShell app.
Type in the following command* and press the Enter
key:ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local
*In the command given above, you can replace umbrel.local
with the local IP of your Umbrel if you prefer. If you are using PowerShell on Windows 10, you may need to run ssh umbrel@umbrel
instead of the command given above.
You will then be prompted to enter your password. This is the same password you use to access your Umbrel through a browser. The default password before you have created an account on your Umbrel is moneyprintergobrrr
on Raspberry Pi, and umbrel
on Umbrel Home. You will not be able to see your password as you type it into the terminal. Once you have typed in your password, press the Enter
key.
This will established an SSH connection to your Umbrel server. You can now begin using the command line interface to perform various actions and troubleshoot issues that require SSH.
FYI, for others that come across this thread, you may use the command below to install the necessary WiFi drivers on your Raspberry Pi:
sudo apt-get --yes install firmware-brcm80211 && sudo reboot
Then to connect it to WiFi:
sudo nmcli device wifi connect <your-ssid> password <your-password>
Note: This is experimental. We haven’t extensively tested these drivers on the Raspberry Pi yet. Also, the WiFi configuration will be removed on the next software update. Official support for WiFi is coming in umbrelOS 1.1.
This worked great, thank you!
I had to change the ssid and pwd sintax to the following,
sudo nmcli device wifi connect ‘ssid_name ’ password ‘mypassw123 ’
instead of using the <>
