### Starting on Boot
The hotspot starts every time the WROLPi boots, so you can always join it, even with no
other network. This replaces any WiFi network the device had joined.
To never start the hotspot on boot (for example, so the WROLPi does not broadcast a WiFi
network), set `on_startup` to `false` in the `hotspot` section of
`/media/wrolpi/config/controller.yaml`:
```yaml
hotspot:
on_startup: false
```
An older `hotspot_on_startup: false` in `wrolpi.yaml` is copied into `controller.yaml` when
the Controller starts.
If your primary drive is set up but fails to mount, the WROLPi cannot read this setting,
so it does not start the hotspot.
