I will be setting up Kolibri for two Indonesian schools in the remote island of Sumba.
Hardware will be a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB with 256GB Sandisk Endurance SD Card per school.
This installation technique was mentioned:
- https://kolibri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/raspberry_pi.html#debian-package
- https://kolibri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/ubuntu-debian.html#kolibri-server-package

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:learningequality/kolibri
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

which is fortunate, as the forums indicate:
The latest Kolibri image for Raspberry Pi should be compatible now. As of now, that Kolibri version is 0.17.5 and you can find the image on our download page: Download Kolibri - Learning Equality https://community.learningequality.org/t/raspberry-pi-5-img/3142/6?u=balupton
Downloading via Safari was still waiting to start after several minutes, so I used Dorothy's down
command instead, which took a minute:
down 'https://storage.googleapis.com/le-releases/downloads/kolibri/v0.17.5/kolibri-pi-image-0.17.5.zip'
I used Rasberry Pi Imager with Use Custom
to select the .zip
file directly.
I used a custom hostname, username and password, and included my public SSH key:
However it did not seem to use any of that:
