[WIP] comitup hotspot not working

[mstormi]

• comitup not installed
  reason was an "if is_bookworm()" condition - now removed
• hotspot does not assign ip/ does not offer web page to connect to local user Wi-Fi

[ecdye]

@mstormi Did you want this to be reviewed, or were you just using it to do some testing?

[mstormi]

no just testing. wifi now up but still not fully there comitup not yet working

[mstormi]

While current comitup offers an openHABian AP and we can connect to it, it fails to bring up the portal page needed to connect the box to the building's Wi-Fi.
Comitup (or Network Manager, actually) also starts dnsmasq which then fails to properly provide DHCP services as another instance continues to occupy port 53. That's no major problem according to the comitup author though.

Depends: davesteele/comitup#269

I do not want to disencourage, but I tested the image available for rPi 3b+ via the official imager and there was no hotspot showing. Website said to see if the first-boot.bash starts the NM and it seems to do so as per systemctl.
Using raspi-config for now to set the values for my wifi for now.

[mstormi]

What image exactly?
If you want to help with testing, please check first-boot.log to see wifi status output and if comitup has started.

this

Will do, the system is updating right now.

[mstormi]

That's the production image, nothing to test about that.
Test latest beta, please.

Ah man. Okay. Three times the charm I guess.
Writing the image right now.

[PaxJaromeMalues]

It worked! I was shown a webpage upon connection with my phone, selected my wifi and now its doing all the first-boot.bash code. Would you like a copy of the log content (will have to check for private info first tho).

[mstormi]

no thanks

[PaxJaromeMalues]

no thanks

Okay. I found some errors tho. I will quote them here, maybe you guys will need them later?

First thing I see is that the login motd does not show a version because /var/lib/openhab/version.properties is not existing because the entire /var/lib/openhab/ dir is empty.
Then there is an empty log file at /boot/firmware/first-boot.log, the actual first-boot.log is one dir above in /boot

Much of what you show doesn't usually happen.
Have you been testing the 32bit image?
That's deprecated for OH5, test the 64bit one only please.
