Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

It shows network configuration including IP and Tailscale, CPU, memory, and storage usage, and the status of running services, and it can perform updates and maintenance. Change operations support a preview mode so you see what would change before applying anything, and upgrades require confirmation.

Profile published 2026-10-27

What you can do with it

  • Investigate why memory usage on a Raspberry Pi is high.
  • Preview which packages an upgrade would change before running it.

When to use it

  • When a device misbehaves and resource or service status must be checked.
  • When running upgrades or maintenance but wanting to confirm impact first.

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Check CPU and memory usage on this Raspberry Pi.
Preview what this upgrade would change without running it.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# Raspberry Pi Administration

Complete system monitoring and introspection for the Raspberry Pi host. Access network details, system resources, storage, services, and more.
Show all (154 lines)
## 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

```bash
# 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
```

## Tools Available

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `overview` | Quick system summary |
| `network` | IP addresses, hostname, network interfaces |
| `tailscale` | Tailscale status, IP, peers |
| `resources` | CPU, memory, temperature |
| `storage` | Disk usage, mount points |
| `services` | Running services, Gateway status |
| `hardware` | CPU info, Raspberry Pi model, GPU |
| `all` | Complete detailed dump |

## Examples

```bash
# Quick system check
./skill.sh overview

# Debug network issues
./skill.sh network && ./skill.sh tailscale

# 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.
