# `$ raspap-webgui` [](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/releases) [](https://github.com/thibmaek/awesome-raspberry-pi)
|
||
|
||
A simple, responsive web interface to control wifi, hostapd and related services on the Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
||
This project was inspired by a [**blog post**](http://sirlagz.net/2013/02/06/script-web-configuration-page-for-raspberry-pi/) by SirLagz about using a web page rather than ssh to configure wifi and hostapd settings on the Raspberry Pi. I began by prettifying the UI by wrapping it in [**SB Admin 2**](https://github.com/BlackrockDigital/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2), a Bootstrap based admin theme. Since then, the project has evolved to include greater control over many aspects of a networked RPi, better security, authentication, a Quick Installer, support for themes and more. RaspAP has been featured on sites such as [Instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-As-Completely-Wireless-Router/), [Adafruit](https://blog.adafruit.com/2016/06/24/raspap-wifi-configuration-portal-piday-raspberrypi-raspberry_pi/), [Raspberry Pi Weekly](https://www.raspberrypi.org/weekly/commander/) and [Awesome Raspberry Pi](https://project-awesome.org/thibmaek/awesome-raspberry-pi) and implemented in countless projects.
|
||
|
||
We'd be curious to hear about how you use this with your own RPi-powered projects. Until then, here are some screenshots:

|
||
## 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:
|
||
```
|
||
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`
|
||
|
||
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 RaspAP from your RaspberryPi's shell prompt:
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ wget -q https://git.io/voEUQ -O /tmp/raspap && bash /tmp/raspap
|
||
```
|
||
The installer will complete the steps in the manual installation (below) for you.
|
||
|
||
After the reboot at the end of the installation the wireless network will be
|
||
configured as an access point as follows:
|
||
* IP address: 10.3.141.1
|
||
* Username: admin
|
||
* Password: secret
|
||
* DHCP range: 10.3.141.50 to 10.3.141.255
|
||
* SSID: `raspi-webgui`
|
||
* Password: ChangeMe
|
||
|
||
## Support us
|
||
|

RaspAP is free software, but powered by your support. If you find RaspAP useful for your personal projects, please consider making a small donation. We feel strongly about creating high quality, easy-to-use software, as well as the importance of keeping it maintained.

|
||
|
||
## Manual installation
|
||
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.
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ sudo apt-get install git lighttpd php7.0-cgi hostapd dnsmasq vnstat
|
||
```
|
||
**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:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifdown wlan0
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ifup wlan0
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cp /tmp/wifidata /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan_results
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cp /tmp/hostapddata /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/hostapd start
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/hostapd stop
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cp /tmp/dhcpddata /etc/dnsmasq.conf
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/reboot
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ip link set wlan0 down
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ip link set wlan0 up
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/ip -s a f label wlan0
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/cp /etc/raspap/networking/dhcpcd.conf /etc/dhcpcd.conf
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/raspap/hostapd/enablelog.sh
|
||
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/etc/raspap/hostapd/disablelog.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Once those modifications are done, git clone the files to `/var/www/html`.
|
||
**Note:** for older versions of Raspbian (before Jessie, May 2016) use
|
||
`/var/www` instead.
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html
|
||
sudo git clone https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui /var/www/html
|
||
```
|
||
Set the files ownership to `www-data` user.
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
|
||
```
|
||
Move the RaspAP configuration file to the correct location
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo mkdir /etc/raspap
|
||
sudo mv /var/www/html/raspap.php /etc/raspap/
|
||
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/raspap
|
||
```
|
||
Move the HostAPD logging scripts to the correct location
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo mkdir /etc/raspap/hostapd
|
||
sudo mv /var/www/html/installers/*log.sh /etc/raspap/hostapd
|
||
```
|
||
Reboot and it should be up and running!
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo reboot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The default username is 'admin' and the default password is 'secret'.
|
||
|
||
## Multilingual support
|
||
RaspAP uses [GNU Gettext](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/) to manage multilingual messages. In order to use RaspAP 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.
|
||
|
||
