hotspot question

Open nunziofiore opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hi I loved this tool. Do you think is possible in some way to script one time for all a block to create an hotspot with your rpi3? In this way you can choose to expose a wifi from your rpi but scripting in a block is better than create it on your own

Sure, that's a great idea for a new block. I have setup WiFi hotspots on my Pi before - although it was a few months ago so I'll have to remember how to do it first!

I've just pushed out a block update last weekend, so I won't be doing another one for about two weeks (just so users aren't constantly bombarded by update dialogs), but this block should be included in the next update.

Thanks for using PiBakery!

Hi, I'd love to have that block as well. Actually configuring the a hotspot in last raspbian releases is a bit difficult

I tested the installation of a captive portal using the script execution block (https://github.com/pihomeserver/Kupiki-Hotspot-Script). If you need a simpler hotspot, install hostapd and dnsmasq you should get the minimal configuration

Hello, I'm looking for a temporary hotspot / captive portal, that will allow a user to configure wifi settings for the Pi. The same way Chromecast, ESP8233 and other headless devices work. Any ideas?
