Brian Lough | Setting up your Raspberry Pi without a monitor or Keyboard (headless setup) @BrianLough | Uploaded June 2018 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Not like that fake headless setup that almost got me fired!
This video I'll show you how to setup your Pi without the need to connect it to a keyboard or monitor.
A headless setup for a PI is setting it up without a graphical desktop interface, where you normally interact with it from a different computer. This is especially useful for applications that have their own web interfaces such as Octoprint or Node-Red.
