Use Cases

The CoderDojoOS can be used in several situations. To enable a fast update with respect to the situations, this folder contains folders with a configuration for each possible use-case.

Special use-cases are

• default
• local

The default use-case

The default use-case is the one you should look for if you want to adapt your computer to your needs. It contains all config files and you can copy them and override the default parameters or add new ones. The default use-case is sourced first, so you can access the variables in it.

The local use-case

Some computers may have a special local configuration. This configuration "local" is reserved in case you would like to make local changes.

Add a new Use-Case

In order to add your Dojo/Programming Club or Workshop, copy the default folder and edit the files. Usually the files have an explanation.

Create a pull-request for your configuration! Let others know what you are using, so the use it, too.

Files:

• packages-to-install.txt
  This file contains the packages you would like to install with the apt-get install command. You can use comments with # in the file. If your computer has multiple use-cases, all packages will be installed.
• users.config
  Here you can add new users. You can specify user name and password and whether they are allowed to use the sudo command.
• specials-to-install.txt
  This is a list of special software you would like to use. Possible entries can be found in the specials folder. This software has a install.sh file as it is more complex to install. You can add your software to it.
• homepage.config
  If you have a home page you would like to show when starting a browser, this is the file to edit.

Other configuration files are less important. You can edit these files and add your own information.
