rPI adventures bits I

Yes, I’ve stept into the realm of raspberry pi.
Adding this to my homelab setup.

For now I’ll just scribble some stuff I need to remember. Later on I’ll write detailed blogs about the setup of my homelab.

Temperature check

rPI’s are getting hot. Especially the rpi 4B+.
To check it’s core temp you can run the following command

root@raspberrypi:~# /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp

To make life easier I created a small script called ‘temp’ and placed it in /usr/local/bin.

#!/bin/sh
/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp

Also make sure it is executable.

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/temp

Now you can check the temp by running the command temp.

root@raspberrypi:~# temp
temp=47.8'C
