Most of the customization parameters are defined under "ansible/group_vars/docker-nodes.yml" file.
To install any additional OS package, add the package name under apt_packages_to_install variable.
To uninstall any additional OS package, add the package name under apt_packages_to_uninstall variable.
To install any additional Python package, add the package name under pip_packages_to_install variable.
To set a different timezone, change local_timezone variable.
To install different version of NodeJs, change value of nodejs_version variable.
To allow more users to connect through ssh to RPi, add the user name to allowed_ssh_users variable seperated by single space. Example: To allow three users with user name "user1", "user2" & "user3", set the variable to:
allowed_ssh_users: user1 user2 user3
