=============

# `$ raspap-webgui` [](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/releases)
|
||||
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
|
||||
============
|
||||
A raspberry pi with raspbian running on it. You will need to ssh into it to set this up.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Packages required for the WebGUI are:
|
||||
* lighttpd
|
||||
* php5-cgi
|
||||
* isc-dhcp-server
|
||||
* git
|
||||

Steps
|
||||
=====
|
||||
1. Install required packages
|
||||
- [Installation](#installation)
|
||||
- [How to contribute](#how-to-contribute)
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi git isc-dhcp-server`
|
||||
2. Enable php in lighttpd
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
Start off by installing lighttpd and php5.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi
|
||||
```
|
||||
After that, enable PHP for lighttpd and restart it for the settings to take effect.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
|
||||
/etc/init.d/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`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
|
||||
sudo service lighttpd restart
|
||||
```
|
||||
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
|
||||
```
|
||||
## How to contribute
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
right foot.
|
||||
2. Fork the project in your account and create a new branch:
|
||||
`your-great-feature`.
|
||||
3. Commit your changes in that branch.
|
||||
4. Open a pull request, and reference the initial issue in the pull request
|
||||
message.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
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
|
||||
```
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo git clone https://github.com/rjpcomputing/raspap-webgui.git /var/www`
|
||||
5. Set the files ownership to `www-data` user.
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www`
|
||||
6. Configure a static IP for the Pi
|
||||
* Edit `/etc/network/interfaces`
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces`
|
||||
* Find and remove dhcp entry
|
||||
`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`
