WAQ Kiosks setup with Ansible

Setup the cluster of raspberry pi for the displays at Web à Québec.

Setup

Set hostnames or IPs in hosts file.

Specify the URL to display for each host with kiosk_url=.

Specify the display orientation with rotate=. (See rotate options here)[http://elinux.org/RPiconfig].

Running Ansible

Run Ansible with ask for password first time :

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts --ask-pass

Then you can skip pass since authorized keys are setup :

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i hosts
