<br>
The trick is to separate the server software from the content. Install <br>
the basic IIAB on a smaller SD card (e.g. 16GB). Then mount the 128GB <br>
usb drive (mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 for example). IIAB expects the <br>
content to be in /library. This should be possible by a symbolic link <br>
such as /media/usb0/XC /library. XC is a folder containing the content <br>
whereas usb0 is a partition. The original installed content in /library <br>
on the sd card needs to be copied to the XC folder on the USB stick <br>
before the symbolic link is made. In principle, Ansible should recognize <br>
the /library (XC folder) and operate as expected.<br>
<br>
Tim Moody has an img of the basic installation which should be perfect <br>
to set up the SD card (simple dd). I am looking forward to trying that. <br>
I am hoping that the img sets the 'box' (hotspot). This should mean <br>
everything can be done headless via ssh.<br>
<br>
As always, it will be an adventure.<br>
<br>
