Request: Static ip address option

[kaspernissen]

First of all, thank you for an awesome tool!

Is there anyway to setup a static ip like the option hostname? Would save some time, when building a Raspberry Pi cluster.

Thank you in advance.

@kaspernissen Thanks for your feedback. We're already thinking about some kind of "device init" that does more than the occidentalis.
This will happen with our new image built with hypriot/image-builder-rpi.

Once the image is ready we will update flash to put a similar file to the occidentalis.txt into the boot partition and then we will have much more features.

@kaspernissen We have opened the device-init repo. Please file an issue at https://github.com/hypriot/device-init with your request ;-)

At least, once wlan0 is configured, the ability to add persistent network configuration through a reboot.

It appears that on reboot device-init will currently overwrite any subsequent settings you may have in /etc/network/interfaces/wlan0 to set a static IP - so at very least some documentation as a workaround would assist people until this feature is available.

i already found a workaround, check device-init#6
