This couldn’t have been better timed for me.

I sit with a pile of raspberry Pis I throw into different rooms about the house and want to stick assorted tasks on them. My open question was how can I just image them, plug them in and centrally configure what runs on them with no more sd card or Mac detection shenanigans when I change their job.

I’ll be giving this a try!

If lldp proves inconvenient, pi's also have a unique cpu-id, which can be found in /proc/cpuinfo

I think something similar exists on most processors

How does cpu-id map to physical location? If I move it from a closet on the first floor, to a rack in the basement, how does knowing the cpu-id help?
