Raspberry Pi Administration

Complete system monitoring and introspection for the Raspberry Pi host. Access network details, system resources, storage, services, and more.

When to Use

Checking Pi network configuration (IP, Tailscale)
Monitoring system resources (CPU, memory, storage)
Viewing running services and their status
Checking temperature and hardware info
Troubleshooting system issues
Getting system overview for debugging

Usage

# Information Commands
cd /home/srose/clawd/skills/pi-admin
./skill.sh overview
./skill.sh network
./skill.sh tailscale
./skill.sh resources
./skill.sh storage
./skill.sh services
./skill.sh hardware
Maintenance Commands
./skill.sh update       # Update system packages
./skill.sh clean        # Clean unused packages, logs, Docker
./skill.sh reboot       # Reboot with countdown
./skill.sh restart-gateway  # Restart the Clawdis Gateway
Complete system info

./skill.sh all

Check if Gateway is running
./skill.sh services | grep gateway
Monitor disk space

./skill.sh storage

Information Collected

Network:

Hostname
Local IP addresses (eth0, wlan0)
Network interface details
DNS configuration

Tailscale:

Status (running/stopped)
Tailscale IP
Connected peers
Exit node status

Resources:

CPU usage
Memory usage (used/free/total)
CPU temperature
Uptime

Storage:

Disk usage by mount point
Inode usage
Free space

Services:

Gateway service status
Docker containers
Systemd services
Port listeners

Hardware:

CPU model and cores
Raspberry Pi model
GPU memory
Total RAM

Maintenance Commands

update

Update system packages via apt:

Updates package lists
Shows upgradable packages
Requires confirmation before upgrading
Reports if reboot is needed
Dry run:
```
./skill.sh update --dry-run
```
shows what would be updated

clean

Clean up system to free disk space:

Removes unused packages (autoremove)
Clears package cache
Cleans old journal logs (keeps 7 days)
Optionally cleans Docker artifacts
Shows space saved
Dry run:
```
./skill.sh clean --dry-run
```
shows what would be cleaned

reboot

Graceful system reboot:

10-second countdown
Ctrl+C to cancel
Uses systemctl reboot
Dry run:
```
./skill.sh reboot --dry-run
```
shows countdown without rebooting

restart-gateway

Restart the Clawdis Gateway service:

Stops all running gateway processes
Starts fresh gateway on port 18789
Confirms port is listening
Shows access URLs
Dry run:
```
./skill.sh restart-gateway --dry-run
```
shows what would happen

optimize

Apply safe system optimizations:

Disable Bluetooth service (~50MB RAM saved)
Disable ModemManager (~30MB RAM saved)
Disable Avahi/Zeroconf (~20MB RAM saved)
Set swappiness to 10 (better RAM utilization)
Dry run:
```
./skill.sh optimize --dry-run
```
shows what would change
Undo:
```
./skill.sh optimize --undo
```
reverts all changes

Total RAM savings: ~100MB Reversibility: Yes, use

--undo

flag to revert

Note: All maintenance commands require sudo and ask for confirmation before making changes. Use

--dry-run

flag to preview changes without applying them.
