nerves_motd

nerves_motd prints a "message of the day" on Nerves devices.

Usage

The primary function is NervesMOTD.print() which prints the base layout based on the template below:

<LOGO>
<APP_NAME> <APP_VERSION> (<FW_UUID>) <PLATFORM> <TARGET>
  Serial       : <SERIAL_NUMBER>
  Uptime       : 18.296 seconds
  Clock        : 2023-05-18 00:05:20 JST <synchronization state>

  Firmware     : <VALIDITY> (<A|B>)      Applications : <N> started (<not started applications>)
  Memory usage : 74 MB (15%)             Part usage   : 210 MB (14%)
  Hostname     : <HOSTNAME>              Load average : 0.05 0.14 0.15

  <IFNAME>     : <IPV6>, <IPV4>
  <EXTRA_ROWS>

To have NervesMOTD print automatically when first accessing a device, add NervesMOTD.print() to your iex.exs file (typically in rootfs_overlay/etc/iex.exs)

Customization

NervesMOTD.print/1 supports a few options for customizing the base layout:

• :logo - Change the logo displayed. Defaults to the Nerves logo. Set to "" to prevent any logo from being displayed
• :extra_rows - a list of custom rows or a callback for returning rows to be appended to the end of the layout. The callback can be a 0-arity function reference or MFArgs tuple.

For convenience, NervesMOTD.print/1 options may be stored in the application environment in your config.exs to be used whenever NervesMOTD.print/0 is called:

config :nerves_motd,
  logo: """
  Custom logo
  """,
  extra_rows: [
    [{"Label", "value"}, {"Label2", "value2"}],
    [{"Long label", "Lots of text"}]
  ]

Installation

Install by adding :nerves_motd to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:nerves_motd, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end
