### WHAT IS LOKI?
@ -32,20 +32,24 @@ This project branches from the work of Raspap and SB Admin 2.
## Prerequisites
Start with a clean install of the [latest release of Raspbian](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) (currently Stretch). Raspbian Stretch Lite is recommended.
1. Update Raspbian, including the kernel and firmware, followed by a reboot:
For Orange Pi Zero use Armbian Stretch found here: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/
For Orange Pi R1 use Armbian Stretch found here: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi-r1/
1. Update Raspbian/Armbian, including the kernel and firmware, followed by a reboot:
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
```
2. Set the WiFi country in raspi-config's **Localisation Options**: `sudo raspi-config`
2. Set the WiFi country in raspi-config's / armbian-config's **Localisation Options**: `sudo raspi-config` or 'sudo arbmian-config' for RasperryPi or OrangePi respectively.
3. If you have an older Raspberry Pi without an onboard WiFi chipset, the [**Edimax Wireless 802.11b/g/n nano USB adapter**](https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/wireless_adapters_n150/ew-7811un) is an excellent option – it's small, cheap and has good driver support.
With the prerequisites done, you can proceed with either the Quick installer or Manual installation steps below.
## Quick installer
Install LokiAP from your RaspberryPi's shell prompt:
These steps apply to the latest release of Raspbian (currently [Stretch](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)). Notes for previously released versions are provided, where applicable. Start off by installing git, lighttpd, php7, hostapd and dnsmasq.
**Note:** for Raspbian Jessie and Wheezy, replace `php7.0-cgi` with `php5-cgi`. After that, enable PHP for lighttpd and restart it for the settings to take effect.
```sh
sudo lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd restart
```
Now comes the fun part. For security reasons, the `www-data` user which lighttpd runs under is not allowed to start or stop daemons, or run commands like ifdown and ifup, all of which we want our page to do.
So what I have done is added the `www-data` user to the sudoers file, but with restrictions on what commands the user can run. Add the following to the end of `/etc/sudoers`, substituting your wireless interface for `wlan0` if needed:
The default username is 'admin' and the default password is 'secret'.
## Multilingual support
LokiAP uses [GNU Gettext](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/) to manage multilingual messages. In order to use LokiAP with one of our supported translations, you must configure a corresponding language package on your RPi. To list languages currently installed on your system, use `locale -a` at the shell prompt. To generate new locales, run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales` and select any other desired locales. Details are provided on our [wiki](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Translations#raspap-in-your-language).
The following translations are currently maintained by the project:
- Deutsch
- Français
- Italiano
- Português
- Svenska
- Nederlands
- 简体中文 (Chinese Simplified)
- Čeština
- Русский
- Español
- Finnish
- Sinhala
If your language is not in the list above, why not [contribute a translation](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Translations#contributing-a-translation)? Contributors will receive credit as the original translators.
## Optional services
OpenVPN and TOR are two additional services that run perfectly well on the RPi, and are a nice way to extend the usefulness of your WiFi router. I've started on interfaces to administer these services. Not everyone will need them, so for the moment they are disabled by default. You can enable them by changing these options in `/var/www/html/includes/config.php`:
```sh
// Optional services, set to true to enable.
define('RASPI_OPENVPN_ENABLED', false );
define('RASPI_TORPROXY_ENABLED', false );
```
Please note that these are only UI's for now. If there's enough interest I'll complete the funtionality for these optional admin screens.
