There have been a couple of times where, after I power my Dreamcast off, instead of the Pi dropping the dial-up connection and then going back into "Listening" mode, it will crash. If your DreamPi spits out any CALLEDPROCESSERRORS, just unplug your modem and plug it back in and then re-run the start and daemon commands.
If I understand correctly, the DreamPi isn't ultimately just a stand-alone box solution. You will need to keep a monitor and keyboard hooked up to it at all times? Like, once it's set up do you need to type commands every time you use it or is does it just work when you switch it on?
Correct, you do need to be able to access the Pi's command line in order to send it command line arguments, but that can be done remotely, which is what I suggest.
Ideally, you'll remote into it with a program like
PuTTY, where, with the IP address of the Pi, you access the Pi's command line from your desktop. That way you never have to connect it to a monitor, keyboard, etc and can still send commands to the Pi. It's pretty straight forward. I can help you set it up if or when the time comes, bruh.
I'm sure there is a way to get it to boot and automatically go into listening mode, but it may require a custom script, which I'm going to look into. But the thing is susceptible to crashing when it disconnects from the device, in which you will have to manually start it back up again.
