roof options for wood deck in front of home?

I am looking for suggestions for a roof of some sort over my narrow wood deck in the front of my home. I have a very small aluminum sided home that is basically just a box shape. It has a narrow wood deck with a railing that spans half of the length of the house. The deck is built so that it is almost flush with the front door. The house is just a single story so there is not a lot of room from the deck to the hip style roof.

I am looking for suggestions on what would work best for the limited head space, and something where I can still get good drainage, I live in a cold and wet climate. We get snow and rain and winds. I was thinking of an aluminum awning, but I am not aware if there are any other options out there. This is just a small home so something probably pretty basic will fit in with it. I would appreciate any ideas you may have!
