Dear Customer, the RevolutionPi Revolution Pi is based on an open source platform, which can lead to misbehavior of the devices. To solve some problems, you can use Ansible. Because Ansible is all about automation, it requires instructions to accomplish each job. With everything written down in simple script form, it's easy to do version control and automate repetitive tasks with relative ease. Regardless of whether it is a single system or many. It is available as open source software under the GNU General Public License for DevOps around the world.

- Automatic copying of the public key to the target system

- Cloning the repository
We have a repository on Github where all the essential elements for solving the tasks are stored. This repository can be reached through this link https://github.com/RevolutionPi/revpi-ansible-recipes.
