Hello,
I’ve been using Armbian on a bunch of ARM SCBs and they have a very nice MOTD on SSH login that shows CPU, RAM, Storage and networking infromation.
Is there anything similar for a regular x86 machine? I tried to grab the scripts from a NanoPi M4v2 board but had to change a ton of stuff to get it working on x86 and it isn’t portable as AMD and Intel report temps differently. Or… does anyone know if their x86 version has it working and where to get?
Just for reference I’m talking about this: https://cdn.tcb13.com/2023/armbian-motd.jpg
Thank you.
Looks like that config info might be defined in this script
There’s a bunch of options on github, some of my favorites:

Thanks!
Does anyone else prefer no MOTD? You can SSH into your server without clobbering your scroll back buffer. It makes everything feel more seamless.
There’s Armbian for x86… https://www.armbian.com/uefi-x86/
I managed to mount the image and extract the files, however it still fails on a regular Debian box, x86 as a few tools seem to be missing:
./30-armbian-sysinfo ./30-armbian-sysinfo: line 41: /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-allwinner-battery: No such file or directory ./30-armbian-sysinfo: line 92: ambienttemp: command not found ./30-armbian-sysinfo: line 94: batteryinfo: command not found ./30-armbian-sysinfo: line 96: getboardtemp: command not found System load: 1% Up time: 7 days 19:15 Memory usage: 34% of 15.59G Zram usage: 1% of 14.90G IP: 10.12.125.1 172.21.1.11 Usage of /: 24% of 916G storage/: 1% of 952M
Yes, that script depends on
/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-allwinner-battery
that, in turn, depends on the armbianmonitor service. :(
Why not write your own version? Getting the temperatures is easy and portable with the
sensors
command from lm-sensors. The rest of the info is easy to get using various commands (e.g. uptime, free) combined with a bit of sed/grep/awk for formatting.Dude, I know your IP now. You’re hacked!
😂 😂 😂 god damn it. You took so long.
