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.
There’s a bunch of options on github, some of my favorites:

Thanks!
Looks like that config info might be defined in this script
Yes, that script depends on
/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-allwinner-batterythat, in turn, depends on the armbianmonitor service. :(Can’t you cut out the battery code since your screenshot indicates it wasn’t used? I should be clear that you’ll have to edit some bash scripts to make what you’re asking for happen.
That’s an example, for instance the CPU temps depend on another os those files that is written by the armbianmonitor service… and I don’t want to run that service on a generic machine. In the past I modified the script to read temps from
lm-sensorsbut that doesn’t seem to be very portable as both Intel and AMD have multiple variations on way they report the temps.This is why I’m mostly looking for an alternative.
Why not write your own version? Getting the temperatures is easy and portable with the
sensorscommand 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.That’s what I’ve been doing but… https://lemmy.world/comment/2990793
Does anyone else prefer no MOTD? You can SSH into your server without clobbering your scroll back buffer. It makes everything feel more seamless.
Dude, I know your IP now. You’re hacked!
Stop pinging yourself, stop pinging yourself!
😂 😂 😂 god damn it. You took so long.
There’s Armbian for x86… https://www.armbian.com/uefi-x86/
I’m aware… but where can I get the included MOTD without having to burn the image and whatnot?
Sorry. Can’t help you there.
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:
