A simple setup guide for a headless setup that should work with all versions of the Raspberry PI.
A headless setup for a PI is setting it up without a graphical desktop interface, where you normally interact with it from a different computer. This is especially useful for applications that have their own web interfaces such as Octoprint or Node-Red.
