Issues Fixed

Raspberry Pi Imager was buried as a one-line aside on the homepage and the get-started page still warned "Pi 5 images are not yet available in the Imager" — both stale now that the release pipeline publishes pi2/pi3/pi4-64/pi5 entries. The existing SSH FAQ also incorrectly claimed SSH was on by default on the Anthias Imager image.

Description

  • Homepage hero: replace the curl-only "Get running in minutes" panel with two side-by-side cards — Pi Imager (Pi 2–5) and the curl one-liner (Pi / x86 / ARM SBC) — so the Imager path is co-equal, not an aside.
  • Stale Pi 5 copy: drop the "Pi 5 not yet in Imager" lines from layouts/_default/get-started.html and content/docs/installation-options.md.
  • New FAQ entry: "How do I install Anthias with Raspberry Pi Imager?" walks through OS selection and notes that SSH must be enabled via the Imager's OS customization dialog before flashing.
  • Correct existing SSH FAQ: the Anthias Imager image ships with SSH off, not on; updated to point users at the gear-icon dialog. balenaHub fleets retain SSH-on-by-default via the supervisor.

Verification

  • Rebased onto latest master; Hugo builds clean (hugo --gc --minify, 17 pages, no warnings).
  • Navigation path verified against the live official RPi Imager feed (os_list_imagingutility_v4.json): Anthias appears at Other specific-purpose OS → Digital signage and kiosks → Anthias → Anthias (Raspberry Pi 2/3/4/5), matching the copy in all three surfaces (post-fix(rpi-imager): tag images with hardware devices so Imager lists them #3090 grouping node + friendly per-model names).

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code.
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally and on CI with my changes.
  • I have done an end-to-end test for Raspberry Pi devices. N/A — website copy/docs only.
  • I have tested my changes for x86 devices. N/A — website copy/docs only.
  • I added a documentation for the changes I have made (when necessary).

…docs, FAQ

- Homepage "Get running in minutes" now shows Pi Imager and the curl
  one-liner as co-equal install paths in side-by-side cards instead
  of burying Imager in a one-line aside.
- Drop the stale "Pi 5 images are not yet available in the Imager"
  callouts from get-started and the installation-options doc; the
  release pipeline now publishes pi2/pi3/pi4-64/pi5 entries.
- New FAQ entry: "How do I install Anthias with Raspberry Pi Imager?"
  walks through the OS selection and notes that SSH must be enabled
  via the Imager's OS customization dialog.
- Correct the existing SSH FAQ: the Anthias Imager image ships with
  SSH off, not on. Updated to direct users to the gear-icon dialog.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the website/docs to prominently feature Raspberry Pi Imager as a first-class installation path and removes stale copy about Pi 5 availability and SSH defaults.

Changes:

  • Reworks the homepage “Get running in minutes” section into two parallel install cards (Raspberry Pi Imager vs one-line installer) and adds a balenaHub CTA.
  • Updates the get-started page and installation options doc to reflect the current Imager catalog hierarchy and Pi 2–5 availability.
  • Adds a new FAQ entry for installing via Raspberry Pi Imager and corrects SSH-default guidance (Imager image ships with SSH off by default).
