This is a kiosk type system intended for use at the Student Robotics Competition.
It is a puppet config wrapping a firefox profile and a launcher script.
The launcher script is kiosk.py and is installed behind a wrapper as
srcomp-kiosk which presents an interface similar to a service -- it
has start, stop, status etc.
The output streams from kiosk.py ends up in /var/log/srcomp-kisok
as two log files, stdout.log and stderr.log.
If running srcomp-kiosk manually be sure that the DISPLAY environment
variable is properly set (you probably want :0.0).
The puppet config will launch the kiosk if it is not already running,
and it will also automatically start on boot via a .desktop file.
The puppet configuration uses the MAC addresses of the target devices to identify physically which device it is being run on and what properties to set.
In preparation for a new deployment the pi_macs file should be edited to
reflect the expected deployment and macs-to-names.py run to update the hiera
configuration for puppet and the pi-names file.
See INSTALL.md for installation and deployment instructions.
Scripts are provided in the root of the repo which use the pi-names file to
check on the status of the deployed Pis or run commands on them. These all
assume that you have suitable DNS entries available (either through real DNS or
by editing your local /etc/hosts file) so that SSH connections to the Pis can
use their names.
