Users do not have sudo capability on a client, meaning they cannot make significant changes to the file system and software.

Any user can log into any client with their credentials, and will always see the same server and share the same file system. User – a user is a username/password combination that allows someone to log into a client to access the file system on the server.More than one client can connect to a server, but all clients use the same file system. Client - a client is a computer that retrieves boot files from the server over the network, and then uses a file system the server has shared.Server - the server is the computer that provides the file system, boot files, and password authentication to the client(s).With PiServer, you don’t need SD cards, you can control all clients via the server, and you can add and configure user accounts - it’s ideal for the classroom, your home, or an industrial setting.īefore I go into more detail, let me quickly explain some terms. Use this tool to easily set up a network of client Raspberry Pis connected to a single x86-based server via Ethernet. As Simon mentioned in his recent blog post about Raspbian Stretch, we have developed a new piece of software called PiServer.
