Ansible Role: RPI-Monitor for Raspberry Pi/s
This Ansible role aims at installing and configuring RPi Monitor utilising as development platform a Raspberry Pi 3B and 4B.
RPi-Monitor allows serving real-time monitoring information (Uptime, CPU load, Temperature, Memory, Disk size, etc...) from your embedded raspberry Pi devices via HTTP in a non-standard port.
Further documentation here
Data is served over plain-text (HTTP only) and there might be other unkown Perl exploits given the age of this project. Thus I would not recommend openning ports widely to access data through the Internet without properly configuring a VPN tunnel, for example.
Requirements
- Ansible 2.7+
- Linux Distribution:
- Raspian Debian Family
A reachable set of Raspberry Pi/s bootstrapped over SSH already (ready to run Ansible modules configured with password-less sudo user, e.g. pi
user comes preconfigured this way by default)
