DietPi 10.7 Launches with Enhanced Network Tool and ARMv8 VM Support
September 12, 2026
DietPi 10.7 debuts a redesigned network configuration tool, dietpi-network, enabling independent management of multiple Ethernet-like and Wi‑Fi interfaces and aligning with systemd's predictable naming and container virtual interfaces.
ARM virtualization now supports ARMv8 virtual machines, with plans for a full suite of VM images and appliances across platforms, though some appliance configurations may need further testing.
Bug fixes address HDMI audio issues on Raspberry Pi, USB regressions on Orange Pi models, Ethernet packet loss on ROCK 3A, and a range of installation and runtime problems including Ampache, WiringPi, Roon Bridge, and Immich.
LubanCat 4 (RK3588S-based) joins DietPi’s hardware support, with notes on kernel/mainline U‑Boot compatibility.
Two new applications enter the dietpi-software catalog: HomeBox and Scrypted.
Upgrade path remains streamlined for existing DietPi installations via the usual update mechanism, with full changes and new images documented on the v10.7 GitHub release page.
USB DVB drivers are restored for Allwinner-based SBCs after kernel gaps, and time synchronization now retries startup when networked via systemd-timesyncd.
New container images include a built‑in network stack and SSH server, with first‑boot networking configured by dietpi.txt and DHCP used by the first detected virtual Ethernet or VLAN interface.
Networking now stores per‑interface configurations under /etc/network/interfaces.d/<name>.conf, supports automatic migration from /etc/network/interfaces, and provides a CLI to add, remove, and modify interfaces.
