So I need some advice for a project. First "Linux admin" experience, hoping to use it as a sort of starting point for my career.
I'm working on making a music system at my gym, and each room will have a terminal (powered by raspberry pi) for users to log into to access their playlists and play music through the sound systems. The music is stored on a network share out of sight that is always on. The terminals will only be powered on when the room/sound system gets turned on, however.
Terminals: ~6
Users: 10-20
This is where I'm looking for advice. Originally, I was planning to make a saltstack and add users that way, but with the systems powered off the commands won't go through to my understanding. This led me to LDAP, in which case I'd have my network share also host the LDAP server and /HOME, and each of my room terminals as clients.
Basically, I'm just looking for some confirmation that what I'm doing makes sense, or if I'm way overthinking things, or any other suggestions, really
