Package it up like an appliance

[nilbus]

To make this easier for less technical people, I want to minimize the technical burden in setting this up.

Consider:

• Raspberry Pi
• VirtualBox VM
• Bootable Linux USB drive
• Docker

Deploying on a Raspberry Pi

• [x] Start an ad-hoc wifi network on boot
  • [x] ad-hoc network
  • [x] static IP for server
  • [x] DHCP for clients
  • [x] DNS for derby.net
• [x] Start the app on boot via foreman-generated init scripts
• [x] Measure and document expected startup time
• [x] Write LED daemon to communicate state
  • [x] A start-stop-daemon init script
  • [x] Solid off at start
  • [x] Restore memory card access trigger on exit
  • [x] Blinking = no wlan0 or other error
  • [x] Solid on = wlan0 up
  • [x] Heartbeat = port 80 open
• [x] Write instructions for Raspberry Pi usage
