Setting up Hyperion without SSH?

you need to burn a image of Hyperbian to your SD card. Put that SD card in the Raspi slot.

You can do that with a PC. I would advise you using a screen and keyboard for final installation when boot up the raspi

maybe I have somewhere a howto setup Hyperion.NG in English

I made that myself years back

no because you need to configure the final setup in Hyperbian (the OS) first.

Then after setup OS you can reboot en then go to (local IP adres) :8090 to configure Hyperion.NG

Could you explain what you mean when you say configure the final setup in Hyperbian?

The Raspi needs a end configuration before you can use it and run Hyperion.NG

After the i initializing of burned image on SSD you need to go trough a config wizard with all kinds of settings, like VNC server, SSH, activate audio , landcode and so on..

So attach a keyboard/mouse and screen to the raspi after first initializing 👉 that's the easiest to do it. You only need to set it once.

You can also insert it, boot up the raspi, eject the SSD card after and work the config.txt file in a separate PC 🖥 with cardslot

Goodluck 👍

I thought of attaching the monitor,mouse and keyboard because this is how I setup my magic mirror and it worked perfectly. But I didn’t know if it would work as the OS is the lite version without a desktop

I must be missing something. I burn Hyperbian to an sd card. When doing this I set the WiFi info , enable ssh, and set a username and password.

All using the Raspberry Pi imager.

Then put card in pi and power up.

If I check my router I see the pi now has an ip address. If I use bitvise to shh in I can get to what looks like a Hyperbian desktop screen telling me to connect using a particular ip address and 8090 through another device on this network.

I get nothing…. It has been er connected to that ip address using a browser. 🥺

I also have found when trying to use ssh more often than not I can’t get a connection. Like 1 in 30 tries works. I usually have to start over and it might connect 🤞🏻

All the tutorials make it seem like it should connect right through the browser.

try it with Putty software , SSH on port 22 on local network.

Or: connect to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8090 http browser

I’ll Give it a shot and report back. Wish me luck 🍀

So putty gets me to this. Do I have to use another computer to try logging into the pi using the internet?

If I try to plug the ip address into a browser I get this

I have not. This must be what I missed. So just enter this...

sudo updateHyperionUser

... at the command promt on the Hyperbian page that I show above?

I will give it a go in a couple hours. I assume then I should be able to use my browser to log in using the IP and the 8090 port.

Any restart or anything like that required after changing the user? Reboot? or not required?

Worked like a charm!!

I owe you a pint 🍺

If I am using WS2812b LED’s, I assume in the controller drop down I choose WS281x ? Then it tells me no devices detected. It also says “ Hyperion must run with “root” privileges to run this controller type “.

Can someone advise as to what I must do here?

Figured it out.

Went back and tried updating the user with -u root
