SNApp-PI-HOST
Scripted SNApp hosting on a Pi
Prerequisites
Start with a clean install of Armbian or Raspbian (currently Buster and Stretch are verified as working). Lite versions are recommended. If using Raspbian Buster you will need to run the command sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
then elevate to root with sudo su
before running the LokiAP installer script. These additional steps are not required when using Armbian.
For Orange Pi R1 use Armbian Buster found here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-r1/. Recommend using "minimal" which is available for direct download at the bottom of the page or much faster download by .torrent also linked there.
Specific code has been incorporated to take advantage of the OrangePi R1's second ethernet interface. The AP will provide access via ethernet in addition to wifi when using this board.
For OrangePi Zero use Armbian Buster found here": https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/
To burn the image to an SD card on your PC you can use Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Preparing the image
For Raspbian you will need to remove the SD card from the computer, reinsert it, open the boot directory up and create a new textfile file named ssh
with no .txt file extension i.e. just ssh
in order to remotely connect. This step is not required for Armbian.
Insert the SD card into the device and power it up.
