# `$raspap` [![Release 2.1](https://img.shields.io/badge/Release-2.1-green.svg)](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/releases) [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://github.com/thibmaek/awesome-raspberry-pi) [![Sponsor](https://img.shields.io/badge/sponsor-%F0%9F%92%96-green)](https://github.com/sponsors/billz)
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 OpenVPN, 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](https://github.com/billz/raspap-awesome). 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 Buster). Raspbian Buster 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
curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash
```
The [installer](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Quick-Installer-usage) 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
**Note:** As the name suggests, the Quick Installer is a great way to quickly setup a new AP. However, it does not automagically detect the unique configuration of your RPi. Best results are obtained by connecting an RPi to ethernet (`eth0`) or as a WiFi client, also known as managed mode, with `wlan0`. For the latter, refer to [this FAQ](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/FAQs#how-do-i-prepare-the-sd-card-to-connect-to-wifi-in-headless-mode). Please [read this](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Reporting-issues) before reporting an issue.
## Simultaneous AP and Wifi client
RaspAP lets you easily create an AP with a Wifi client configuration. With your RPi configured in managed mode, enable the AP from the **Advanced** tab of **Configure hotspot** by sliding the **Wifi client AP mode** toggle. Save settings and start the hotspot. The managed mode AP is functional without restart.

**Note:** This option is disabled until you configure your RPi as a wireless client. For a Raspberry Pi operating in [managed mode](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/FAQs#how-do-i-prepare-the-sd-card-to-connect-to-wifi-in-headless-mode) without an `eth0` connection, this configuration must be enabled _before_ a reboot.
## Support us
RaspAP is free software, but powered by your support. If you find RaspAP useful for your personal or commercial projects, please [become a sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/billz) or make a one-time donation with [Beerpay](https://beerpay.io/billz/raspap-webgui). Either option makes a big difference!

## Manual installation
Detailed manual setup instructions are provided [on our wiki](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Manual-installation).
## 802.11ac 5GHz support
RaspAP provides an 802.11ac wireless mode option for supported hardware (currently the RPi 3B+/4) and wireless regulatory domains. See [this FAQ](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/FAQs#80211ac) for more information.
## 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)
- Indonesian
- 한국어 (Korean)
- 日本語 (Japanese)
- Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
- Čeština
- Русский
- Español
- Finnish
- Sinhala
- Türkçe
- ελληνικό (Greek)
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.
## HTTPS support
The Quick Installer may be used to [generate SSL certificates](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/SSL-certificates-(Quick-Installer)) with `mkcert`. The installer automates the manual steps [described in the wiki](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/SSL-(Manual-steps)), including configuring lighttpd with SSL support.
Simply append the `-c` or `--cert` option to the Quick Installer, like so:
```sh
curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash -s -- --cert
```
**Note**: this only installs mkcert and generates an SSL certificate with the input you provide. It does *not* (re)install RaspAP.
More information on SSL certificates and HTTPS support is available [on our wiki](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/SSL-certificates-(Quick-Installer)).
## OpenVPN support
OpenVPN may be optionally installed by the Quick Installer. Once this is done, you can managage a client configuration and the `openvpn-client` service with RaspAP.
To configure an OpenVPN client, upload a valid .ovpn file and, optionally, specify your login credentials. RaspAP will store your client configuration and add firewall rules to forward traffic from OpenVPN's `tun0` interface to your configured wireless interface.
**Note**: this feature is currently in beta. Please [read this](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/FAQs#-openvpn-fails-to-start-andor-i-have-no-internet-help) before reporting an issue.
## How to contribute
1. Fork the project in your account and create a new branch: `your-great-feature`.
2. Open an issue in the repository describing the feature contribution you'd like to make. This will help us get you started on the right foot.
3. Commit changes in your feature branch.
4. Open a pull request and reference the initial issue in the pull request message.
This project follows the [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) coding style guidelines. There are many ways to check your code for PSR-2. An excellent tool is [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer). The command line tool `phpcs` can be run against any single file. [Phing](https://www.phing.info/), a PHP build tool, integrates nicely with `phpcs` to automate PSR-2 checks across all source files in a project.
