The RPi 400 are ideal candidates that can replace workstations in class rooms. Running a 4 c-core ARM64 processor, 4GiB of memory, a network adapater and video connectors built in a small 'keyboard' casing make them ideal replacements for class room workstations. However the SD cards that these SBCs boot from are very fragile. Booting from USB sticks would be better, but having them boot remotely over the network would also solve the management problem. In this presentation Pascal will talk you to the process of engineering a solution that will allow the RPi 400 but also other Raspberry Pi's to boot from the network. The PIs will bootstrap using bootp and tftpboot and then connect an iSCSI root disk to boot from. In the talk I will discuss issue we faced like how to keep the kernel and initrd up-to-date after doing an OS upgrade. The whole solution is automated with Ansible so one can quickly roll out tens of RPi 400's. The icing on the cake is central user management with a NFS based home share and centralized user management either by FreeIPA or Active Directory with Samba.
