raspberry pi environment setup

[nathandtam]

intro

hello! in this sprint, you'll set up your pi. while you likely won't need your pi for development, it's ideal that for any sprints relating to the local app, you test out your code using the pi before submitting your PR.

steps

put on your case:
instructions should be inside the box.

go through these three documents to set up your pi (in order):

1. set up/flash your pi, sqlite, and client/ap mode: raspberry pi documentation, written by @philipye314 -- consult him if you have any questions!
2. set up a human-readable name for your Pi's address: set up avahi.
3. set up the pi to start the local app automatically when powered on: auto-starting the pi server.

resources:

• for general information about our how we use our pis, visit our notion document for how our pis work
• for information on connecting to the pis, visit our notion document for connecting to the pi
• if, at any point, you run into an issue, send me (@nathandtam) a message.

Tip

if you are asking AI for help, make sure it has the correct context for our pis and what software we use with them. for example, our notion document for how our pis work has information on the exact model of raspberry pi that we use.

goals

once you're done:

• you should be able to run and test out the local app on the pi in the same way that you can test it out on localhost
• the pi should have a human-readable name
• the local server should start automatically once you plug the pi in
