============= # `$ raspap-webgui` [![Release 1.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/Release-1.0-green.svg)](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/releases)
Started and modified from here http://sirlagz.net/2013/02/08/raspap-webgui/ A simple, responsive web interface to control wifi, hostapd and related services on the Raspberry Pi.
Found this article very helpful for setting up DHCP (https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software) We'd be curious to hear about how you use this with your own Pi-powered access points. Ping us on Twitter and ([**@billzimmerman**](https://twitter.com/billzimmerman)) and ([**@SirLagz**](https://twitter.com/SirLagz)). Until then, here's a screenshot:
Requirements ![](http://i.imgur.com/c09ZTQS.png)
============
A raspberry pi with raspbian running on it. You will need to ssh into it to set this up. ## Contents
The Packages required for the WebGUI are: - [Installation](#installation)
* lighttpd - [How to contribute](#how-to-contribute)
* php5-cgi
* isc-dhcp-server ## Installation
* git Start off by installing lighttpd and php5.
```sh
Steps $ apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi
===== ```
1. Install required packages After that, enable PHP for lighttpd and restart it for the settings to take effect.
```sh
`sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi git isc-dhcp-server` sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
2. Enable php in lighttpd /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
```
``` Now, comes the fun part.
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php 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.
sudo service lighttpd restart 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`:
3. Edit `/etc/sudoers` to allow the *www-data* user to call the necessary commands. Add the following line to the end of the file.
```sh
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown wlan0,/sbin/ifup wlan0,/bin/cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/bin/cp /tmp/wifidata /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/sbin/wpa_cli scan_results,/sbin/wpa_cli scan,/bin/cp /tmp/hostapddata /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf,/etc/init.d/hostapd start,/etc/init.d/hostapd stop,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop,/bin/cp /tmp/dhcpddata /etc/dnsmasq.conf
``` ```
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown wlan0,/sbin/ifup wlan0,/bin/cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/bin/cp /tmp/wifidata /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,/sbin/wpa_cli scan_results,/sbin/wpa_cli scan,/bin/cp /tmp/hostapddata /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf,/etc/init.d/hostapd start,/etc/init.d/hostapd stop,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start,/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop,/bin/cp /tmp/dhcpddata /etc/dnsmasq.conf ## How to contribute
```
4. Once those modifications are done, git clone the files to `/var/www`. Make sure that there are no files in the `/var/www` directory. There was a default lighttpd index file that I had to delete. 1. File an issue in the repository, using the bug tracker, describing the
contribution you'd like to make. This will help us to get you started on the
`sudo git clone https://github.com/rjpcomputing/raspap-webgui.git /var/www` right foot.
5. Set the files ownership to `www-data` user. 2. Fork the project in your account and create a new branch:
`your-great-feature`.
`sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www` 3. Commit your changes in that branch.
6. Configure a static IP for the Pi 4. Open a pull request, and reference the initial issue in the pull request
* Edit `/etc/network/interfaces` message.
`sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces` ## License
* Find and remove dhcp entry See the [LICENSE](./LICENSE) file.
`iface eth0 inet dhcp`
* Append new network settings
```
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
```
* Find and change `iface wlan0 inet manual` to `iface wlan0 inet dhcp`. This is under the wlan0 setup.
* Comment out `iface default inet dhcp` and `allow-hotplug wlan0` using the '#' character at the beginning of the line(s).
* Example of `/etc/network/interfaces` after all changes are made:
```
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
auto wlan0
#allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
#iface default inet dhcp
```
7. Configure `dhcpd` by editing `/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`
* `sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`
* Add the following to the end of the file
```
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.99;
option routers 10.0.0.254;
option domain-name "local";
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
}
```
8. Open `/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server` and change the `INTERFACES=""` to `INTERFACES="eth0"`
`sudo nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server`
9. Install and configure the auto-reconnect WiFi script (wifi-check).
* Copy 'wifi-check' to `/usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
* `sudo cp /var/www/wifi-check /usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
* `sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wifi-check`
* Add it to cron so it runs every 5 minutes
* `sudo crontab -e`
* Append the line `*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/wifi-check > /tmp/wificheck.log 2>&1` to the end of the file
* Save the file
* Reboot and it should be up and running!
`sudo reboot`
