pi-top USB Setup

About

Application that configures a pi-top using an USB drive, installing offline updates and setting up locales, language and wi-fi networks.

When a USB drive is plugged to the system with a file called pi-top-usb-setup.tar.gz, a udev rule starts a systemd service that extracts the tarball and runs the setup script.

The setup script updates the system using a local apt repository with the files in the USB drive, and the uses a JSON file to set the locales, language, keyboard layout and wi-fi network.
