For the emonSD release emonSD-30Oct18 (based on Stretch) SSH will be disabled by default for increased security. SSH can be enabled by either: The standard Raspbian way: adding a txt file in /boot called ssh I see this being the preferred method of emonBase users where the SD card is easily acc…

This feature has now been merged into emonpi master. All emonPi’s will benefit from improved lcd push button response time after running emonpi update. Gpiozero enable ssh openenergymonitor:master ← openenergymonitor:gpiozero-enable-ssh …

[image] beaylott: Storing personal data is processing. Of course it is, but an EmonPi in my house connected to nothing (even if it was I’d argue it, itself, is not subject to GDPR), is not subject to GDPR so the argument that SSH must be disabled because of GDPR is a fallacious argument. If …

[image] glyn.hudson: We did consider this but I think shorting pins jumper is more risky and has the potentially to go very badly wrong if a user accidentally shots the wrong pins. Also accessing the GPIO pins can require fully disassembling the unit. Removing the SD card to creating a /boot/ssh …

[image] borpin: Pretty sure they need to register and pay a fee Thank you @borpin for the heads up on that, looks like we missed that step, we have now registered and should be listed once the application has been processed.

[image] Greebo: specifically applicable to the EmonBase, which unless I’m mistaken isn’t actually “an assembled unit” FWIW, my emonBase certainly is a fully-assembled unit.

[image] Greebo: As this was my suggestion as well, I’d just like to say in context that it was specifically applicable to the EmonBase, which unless I’m mistaken isn’t actually “an assembled unit”. You can also manufacture a “jumper block” that would make it almost foolproof to jumper the correc…

[image] glyn.hudson: Most users choose the enclosure option for the emonBase, almost every emonBase we ship is an assembled unit. Ok, I’d not been able to find the pictures in the Shop of what the enclosure looks like, so I assumed it was like every other Pi case out there - two pieces of pla…

[image] Greebo: Ok, I’d not been able to find the pictures in the Shop of what the enclosure looks like, so I assumed it was like every other Pi case out there - two pieces of plastic that clip together. Hardly what I’d call “assembled” in the same manner that the EmonPi is with a daughter board…

[image] glyn.hudson: Sure, it’s not a big task to disassemble. But still more involved than removing the SD card which is easily accessible And yet, probably less involved than extracting an already in-use HDMI cable out of your entertainment unit, finding a USB keyboard and then finding some…

[image] Greebo: There are really three options already available, so pragmatically, we need to work out how we make sure everyone knows what they are and can easily find the details. Good points @Greebo lets do that. I will have a look at it today.

Just to clarify, emonSD / emonBase does not require SSH access to use Emoncms. Even on first boot the user can log in directly to Emoncms via web browser and create a user account. All configuration of emonhub, WiFi etc can be done via a web browser. If no Ethernet connection is available the uni…
