Bootstrapping a Raspberry Pi 2/3/4

Setting up a Raspberry Pi for running Caf.js applications is easy.

Start with an up to date raspbian image, install Docker with:

    curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh

Sign up for a cloud account in https://root-launcher.cafjs.com with user, e.g., bar.

And now, to register your device with name, e.g., device1, login and create a CA instance of the root-gadget app to manage the device bar-device1. See external:caf (https://cafjs.github.io/api/caf) and external:caf_dcinabox (https://cafjs.github.io/api/caf_dcinabox) for details.

Finally, in the RPi:

    curl -sSL  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cafjs/caf_rpi/master/setup.sh | bash -s -- bar-device1 pleasechange

where bar-device1 is the identifier of the device, and pleasechange the cloud service password for user bar. After the setup is done, only a restricted authentication token will be kept in the device. To clear the shell history (with your password):

    history -c && history -w

Deployment of device apps and tokens is now managed by the root-gadget app.
