Web3 Pi image - v0.7.1

Web3 Pi image for Raspberry Pi

Version 0.7.1

All Changes:

• Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04.1.
• The Nimbus startup script checks if the trustedNodeSync was successful; if not, it retries with a different server.
• A new script has been introduced to test and sort the server list based on the average of three pings.
• PCIe Gen.3 set as the default for Raspberry Pi 5.
• Installation status page updates:
  • New logo
  • Added favicon.ico
  • After installation, the page's auto-refresh frequency is reduced to 30 seconds
  • The Grafana Dashboard button becomes active only after installation is complete and uptime exceeds 3 minutes
  • HTML source code improvements and spelling corrections
  • Uptime display enhanced to include days
• New layout in the Grafana Dashboard
• Added CPU temperature monitoring to Grafana
• Data points on graphs are no longer connected when data is missing
• Added network traffic monitoring to Grafana
• Installation script improvements

You can monitor the installation process through a dedicated website:
http://your-hostname.local
For instance, if your hostname in the Raspberry Pi Imager was “eop-1” you should open your browser and type http://eop-1.local.

The Raspberry Pi with the Web3Pi image on port 80 hosts an HTTP server that continuously displays the following in the web browser:

• The installation stage
• The hostname and IP address of the device
• The full installation log
• Uptime
• A link to the Grafana dashboard and a JSON status file

Since the Raspberry Pi will reboot three times during the installation process, you may need to refresh the page manually.
The page should be available within 3 minutes of powering on.

The installation is divided into stages.
The installation is complete when you see: "STAGE 100: Installation completed."
This status is shown in the screenshot below.
