We've just announced rpi-connect 1.2.0 so you should be able to upgrade with the following:
With this release, it is now possible to install an alternative package on devices where you only want remote shell access and not screen sharing:
The main changes are as follows:
We recommend enabling user-lingering on Raspberry Pi OS Lite so that rpi-connect can continue running even if you do not have an active login session.
Code:
sudo apt updatesudo apt install --only-upgrade rpi-connectsudo rebootCode:
sudo apt updatesudo apt install rpi-connect-litesudo reboot- Remote shell access: you can now choose to connect to a remote shell on your device which will give you a terminal in your web browser with access to your login shell
- A new "Allow remote shell access" option in the menu
- The addition of "rpi-connect shell on" and "rpi-connect shell off" commands to allow and disallow remote shell access via the CLI
- The addition of a "rpi-connect status" command to show the current signed in status, whether screen sharing is available and allowed or has any active sessions, whether remote shell access is allowed or has any active sessions
- rpi-connect no longer has a hard dependency on WayVNC (which is now a "recommended" dependency and can be opted out of by using "apt install --no-install-recommends") and can be started without using a supported Wayland compositor and even works with Raspberry Pi OS Lite
- rpi-connect-lite is provided as an alternative package which skips the WayVNC dependency altogether for use on devices where screen sharing isn't required
We recommend enabling user-lingering on Raspberry Pi OS Lite so that rpi-connect can continue running even if you do not have an active login session.
