PiVPN is no longer maintained
I'm stepping down as pivpn maintainer, since it would take too much of my time to maintain it properly. @0-kaladin (the owner of the pivpn organisation) didn't give anyone owner rights on the organisation, so I'm not able to add new people as member.

This means that there are no longer any active maintainers for this project, and that issues and PR's will not get resolved. This will eventually result in pivpn not working anymore (as openvpn gets updates, config options might get added/removed/changed).

Now, what can you if you want to keep pivpn alive? Not much really, but you can fork it and ma ke your own "pivpn" (please don't call it that to avoid confusion). If you do use our code, please don't forget to mention that in a README or something (our MIT licence requires that).

I'd like to thank @0-kaladin and @cfcolaco for working on this with me, and all contributors and people who provided support in the issues.

Broken link

The link for 'Power Sniffing Strip' under Projects is dead.

Addition to the list: P4wnP1

Hi there,

you should definitely include the P4wnP1 project on your list - it is awesome:
https://github.com/mame82/P4wnP1

Cheers!

License preventing from adding to sindresorhus' list of awesome lists

Hi,

I noticed your list wasn't present in https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
The license you have chosen (MIT) does not fit the criteria defined by sindresorhus: something like CC0, NOT a code licence like MIT, BSD, Apache, etc

Would you consider changing it to CC0?

Cheers,

Use F-Droid links instead of Play store

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

If you don't know what F-Droid is, I let them explain (from home page)

What is F-Droid?

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

All the apps in F-Droid are FOSS, and F-Droid itself also is. I think it's better to support them rather than Google (and btw you don't need Google play services for these apps).

There are two apps that are on F-Droid listed in README.md: RasPi Check and Kore.

Also CONTRIBUTING.md should be edited, with something saying if it's on F-Droid put the F-Droid link.

I haven't made a PR because i'm not sure whether you would accept these changes.

MoodeAudio

Hi! The MoodeAudio project is awesome, I think that it deserves a place in this list, don't you think? 😄 https://moodeaudio.org/

Shall PiFM be listed?

There are couple of pi based signage projects out there to include

Broken links to some websites

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

There are some broken links in the list:

• http://cse.iitk.ac.in/~rsehgal/ -> 404 not found
• http://devsource.com.br/ -> times out
• http://chanchal1987.wordpress.com -> no longer available, site deleted
• http://blog.hsp.dk/how-to-setup-vpn-server-on-raspberry-pi-or-digitalocean/ -> domain doesn't resolve
• http://Https://oliver2213.me -> should be https://oliver2213.me
• The one already mentioned in #167

I found these by enabling the https://github.com/manuzhang/mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin plugin for MkDocs. However, it also returned some false positives (LinkedIn blocks the connection requests so the plugin returns a HTTP 999 error while the page on LinkedIn is perfectly reachable in a browser) and running it took a long time, so I wouldn't recommend to enable it by default. If you're interested, I could create a PR to run this check daily in a GitHub action, but then I first want to create a PR to the plugin to solve these false positives.

pibakery is extinct, and so are it's downloads unless you build from github source.

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

PiBakery has an author who is MIA, and doesn't seem to be active. All of his downloads (https://pibakery.org/docs/install-mac.html) on his website are broken links, and you can't find a download anywhere. Looks like the only way to get this is to build it from source using the github repository.

Alphabetical ordering for the links?

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

How about alphabetically ordering all the links in this awesome list? Many others do it and it helps make the repository a bit less messy and easier to search.

Generated documentation has broken links to internal pages

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

I noticed you used absolute paths to other pages in some places:

README.md:Contribution guidelines can be found [here](/CONTRIBUTING.md)

And:

CONTRIBUTING.md:If you want you can add yourself to the [list of contributors](./CONTRIBUTORS.md).

This is not officially supported by MkDocs.

The result is that these two links don't work on https://awesome-rpi.netlify.app/ but only if you visit the original Markdown pages on GitHub.

The Awesome Home Assistant project which you used as inspiration for your build script solves this by linking to the full URL on GitHub. But then visitors of the website will suddenly be forwarded to GitHub, which probably isn't what they expect.

Another solution is to just link to the relative paths CONTRIBUTING.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md, but then you encounter another issue: you created symlinks to these files with names in lower case, so the links won't work either. You can change the names of the symlinks to capital letters, but that's ugly. Or you can change the original filenames to lowercase letters and use these both on GitHub and in the generated website.

I'm not sure what the preferable solution is here.

Add awesome_bot as CI/testing check

• Could you have a board section? Since there are several versions of the boards

Kano OS Link broken

The link doesn't seem to exist anymore, at least I get an 404 from my browser accessing it!

Some checks were failing while adding WebStation SYSMON to list

Hi fellow contributors! I have added a repository of my tool to the list all while following the rules mentioned in the contributor guidelines - yet the CI throws an inexplicable error. Any help is appreciated.

Mega resource link from tech-knowhow.com

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

@thibmaek , was researching more about the chilipie-kiosk, discovered by virtue of your awesome list, and discovered this link - https://www.tech-knowhow.com/2017/01/raspberry-pi-disk-images-definitive-list .

Just thought I'd share. Haven't cross referenced projects on that page vs your awesome list, but a good resource nonetheless.

Will close this issue in a few days, and maybe provide some PR's in the future based on it. But just thought I would share this resource.

Build Swift on ARM updated to 5.1.5

The Build Swift on ARM project has been updated to 5.1.5.

"Limelight" -> "Moonlight"

At the request of Limelight Networks, the Nvidia GameStream client formerly known as Limelight was renamed Moonlight a while ago. The link in the article correctly reroutes to the proper github repo, but references to it being called "limelight" has proven confusing for some users.

I'd suggest directly linking to irtimmer's Moonlight-Embedded repo here. That is what the official Moonlight page links

Suggestion: remove PiKISS from the list of recommended tools

• My issue is an issue and not a PR. For additions or modifications I will create a pull
  request.

Hello, this is the main Pi-Apps dev speaking here. First, I just wanted to thank you for maintaining this list of useful stuff available for Raspberry Pi. I occasionally use it myself, and have praised it elsewhere.

Just wanted to mention that we at Pi-Apps made the difficult decision today to stop offering or recommending PiKISS, due to its history for poor reliability and continued disrespect from the developer. You may want to do the same.

This really comes down to your thought process, on whether you value quantity or quality. But I would request that you reevaluate PiKISS on the criteria of its usefulness to users. It was breaking users' systems again for the past few days due to poorly tested code.
