Raspberry Pi

This should be moved elsewhere...

1. Download Raspberian Stretch Lite

2. Install Etcher: brew cask install balenaetcher

3. Flash the SD card

4. Enable SSH

5. Run the Ansible playbooks

6. Add the host to the pi_bootstrap group and set the password variable on the host

7. Connect to the host via SSH (so Ansible can piggyback off the existing connection and not have to deal with password shenanigans)

8. ansible-playbook playbooks/pi/bootstrap.yml

9. ansible-playbook {{ host }}/main.yml

etc

1. Use raspi-config to set up the WiFi

• Additional setup

1. Use raspi-config to set the keyboard layout
