+Ansible role to setup a Raspberry Pi in kiosk mode
+
+## Deploy
+
+1. Go to the [download page for the OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) and grab the **lite** version of the Raspberry Pi OS. Flash the OS on the SD card.
+2. Insert the SD card in your Raspberry Pi, boot it, and go through the first-time-setup. Use `pi` as the username and `raspberry` as the password
+3. Login and run `sudo systemctl enable ssh.service` to start the ssh server on boot.
+4. If desired, `sudo raspi-config` and apply overclock and/or tweak the size of the swap.
+5. Reboot your Raspberry Pi.
+6. On your main machine, run `ansible-playbook site.yaml -i hosts` at the root of this repository. This can be very slow depending on the model of your Pi.
+7. Once the playbook has finished running, your Raspberry Pi will reboot in kiosk mode.
