DietPi 10.7 Launches with Enhanced Network Tool and ARMv8 VM Support
  • 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.
