Internet-in-a-Box helps users build a digital library with a Raspberry Pi.
About Iiab
Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is open source software for building an offline digital library on a small server, such as a Raspberry Pi. The homepage describes it as a "learning hotspot" for places without Internet access, including schools, medical clinics, prisons, regions, and families. Users can reach the library from nearby smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
The project includes tools to choose and arrange content. Users can download content packs and arrange them with drag-and-drop, select from more than 30 educational apps, and optionally add a learning management system. A Manage Content interface supports sharing local content with nearby communities, with possible mesh networking. The software is installed using Ansible, and the homepage notes that content packs can be multiple gigabytes and take time to download.
