DietPi is an extremely lightweight Debian-based OS. It is highly optimised for minimal CPU and RAM resource usage, ensuring your SBC always runs at its maximum potential.
The dietpi programs use lightweight whiptail menus. You'll spend more time enjoying DietPi and applications you need and less time staring at the command line.
Use dietpi-software
to quick and easy install Ready to Run & Optimised applications for your system. DietPi will do all the necessary configurations, including starting the services. Few highlights: Desktop Environments, Remote Desktop Access, Media Systems & Players, BitTorrent & Downloading, Cloud & Backup, Gaming & Emulation, Social & Search, Camera & Surveillance, Networking, System Stats & Management, Home Automation, Hardware & Voice Projects, Webserver Stacks, DNS Servers / Pi-hole, File Servers, Printing and much more.
Use dietpi-services
to control which installed software has higher or lower priority levels (nice, affinity, policy scheduler).
dietpi-update
automatically checks for updates and informs you when they are available. Update instantly, without having to write a new image. DietPi automation allows you to completely automate a DietPi installation with no user input, simply by configuring dietpi.txt
before powering on.
