adding another DigiPi

[Shannon N5OOO]

Hello.  I want to add another DigiPi to my environment.  I do i prevent them from having the same network name?  i know it must be changed or access by IP address but i would prefer accessing by name.  I can google how to change the name of a raspberry pi..i am assuming i could user raspi-config but i did not want to mess up any hotspot capabilities by doing that.  What would be the best way to have multiple DigiPi connected to my network where i can access both at the same time from my web browser? 

Thank you

Shannon

I think i found where it says how to do this on the digipi.org page.

It's more or less easy

Open a shell

sudo remount

sudo nano /etc/hostname

sudo nano /etc/hosts

sudo reboot

All done

Perfect.  I have renamed it successfully.  

Thanks.

Great work here - that's 100% correct.

In addition, press [save configuration], then start wsjtx (or js8call, or sstv, or fldigi).  this
will fix a display .Xauthority issue with the changed hostname.  you only need to do
this once after changing the hostname.

Thanks to all for this thread!

To clarify, @Craig, are the save configuration and open wsjtx steps before the sudo reboot?  

Also, does the sudo remount command persist across boots, or is it just for the active session?

[Craig]

good questions,

setup wsjtx, and to be sure, click file->exit   (especially true for fldigi)

then press [save configuration] on the digipi home page

"sudo remount" is temporary and does not persist over reboots. [save configuration]
essentially works the same way (it also does a sudo remount).

if it helps,
