## Description

Internet-pi is a network appliance configuration for Raspberry Pi that provides automated network provisioning, telemetry tracking, and DNS-based sinkhole services. It functions as a home network gateway and monitoring station.

The project integrates a DNS sinkhole for network-wide advertisement and tracking blocking, alongside local DNS resolution for connected devices. It includes an internet performance monitor to track connection uptime, ping statistics, and bandwidth speed tests over time.

The system further incorporates an IoT device dashboard for collecting and visualizing real-time metrics from hardware such as smart plugs and air quality sensors. Deployment is handled via an automated network provisioner using declarative playbooks to configure target hosts.
