A Micro SD-card class 10 > 8GB.
Git installed.
Ansible 2.10 > installed.
ssh_askpass installed.
Raspberry Pi Imager installed.
Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64 bits image , Release date: March 15th 2024.
Ansible vault password ( contact DEAN development)
Select WRITE.
When the image has been successfully written insert the SD-card into the Raspberry Pi and boot the device connected to local LAN.
Provision the ElimuPi software by running the ansible-play book against local Raspberry Pi and build Elimupi the image.
ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections.yml
ansible-galaxy install -r roles.yml
ansible-playbook -i ./inventory.yml playbook-raspberrypi.yml --ask-vault-pass
The installation will take approximately 20 minutes to finish and there shouldn't be any errors.
