Setup of new devices

[semafor]

I want to set up a new device, but I want to be inconvenienced as little as possible.

I have a rasperry-pi with a FriskbyImage installed, such that I only need to change one configuration file for “everything to work”.

Suggested solution:

1. I go to friskby.no, and there's a menu item called "setup new device".
2. I am taken to a registration page where I enter my email and password.
3. I am logged in, and see a three step wizard labeled "setup new device".
4. I enter name.
5. I enter coordinates (captured from placing a needle on a map?).
6. A configuration file is presented, which I am to install at /etc/friskby/<device name>.ini.
7. I click "Register" and I am then taken to a “device page” where I can in some way confirm that my device is now successfully registered, and sending data to friskby.

Notes:

• Writing the configuration file can be done either by SSH or by using the rasbian GUI, both can be documented.
• Requires user registration in django, which isn't trivial. How to guard against spam/attacks?
• New users are non-superusers, and they should only be allowed to view and manage their own sensors.

Would this be sufficient for setting up a new device (and sensors) and have its data logged correctly?
