# Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB)
Welcome to the Git repository of the Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) project. This is a community-based project developed and supported by volunteers from around the world. The Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is small, inexpensive device which provides essential Internet resources (like Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, Khan Academy and others) without any Internet connection. It provides a local content server of the world’s Free Knowledge.
The older version of this repository is at [github.com/xsce](http://github.com/xsce). We are using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com) as the underlying technology to install, deploy, configure and manage the various software components.
