InnocentPi is a tool for creating an wifi access point on a raspberry pi, to which you can connect via VNC but also at the same time the raspberry pi acts as a client which allows a user to use the pi as a fully operating computer via a phone or an iPad.
The build in wifi of the Raspberry acts as an AP and a second USB wifi adapter will be used for the client connection.
Start with a clean install of the latest release of Raspbian (currently Buster). Raspbian Buster Lite is NOT recommended.
- Update Raspbian followed by a reboot:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
-
Set the WiFi country as well as the Locale in raspi-config's Localisation Options:
sudo raspi-config -
Make sure your Wifi dongle is plugged in! A list of supported dongles can be found here.
With the prerequisites done, you can proceed to the install section.
To be able to run this software, first you have to change the access permission:
chmod 755 setup.sh
then to install InnocentPi run the following command:
sudo ./setup.sh
After the reboot at the end of the installation the wireless network will be configured as an access point as follows:
- IP address: 192.168.123.1
- DHCP range: 192.168.123.2 to 192.168.123.200
- SSID: WIFIII
- Password: password
Also VNC will be automatically activated and you can access the Raspberry Pi's desktop via a VNC Viewer under the IP address above.
Due to a bug inside ghostscript, you may need to downgrade to version < 9.26 or you might
