Below is an EXAMPLE /opt/schoolserver/xsce/vars/local_vars.yml derived from Tim Moody's of February 24, 2017: (for [[../6.2|IIAB/XSCE 6.2]] on Raspberry Pi 3 especially!)


To understand how and why you may want to modify local_vars.yml (to override [https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/blob/release-6.2/vars/default_vars.yml default_vars.yml]) please read [https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/wiki/IIAB-Architecture IIAB Architecture].

Please also ask directly on our support channels, like http://iiab.io forums, the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel] mailing list, and [https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#schoolserver live irc chat].

Here is an example MEDIUM-sized /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml including a suite of about a dozen Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) server apps — that have been well-tested on Raspberry Pi 3 and similar computers: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/vars/local_vars_medium.yml


(Compare: MIN-sized with local_vars_min.yml with ~6 apps, and BIG-sized with local_vars_big.yml ~20 apps ...using our new comparison table)


WARNING: on small Internet-in-a-Box devices, it's common to want a "Rapid Power Off" button clickable by all users in a clinic or home. Conversely, schoolteachers commonly want to disable this Power Off button, changing the "allow_apache_sudo" flag to "False".
