Apocalypse Wiki! This is a standard build of Kiwix Hotspot (which is NOT included in this repository), with some hardware additions that I have made.

First do a basic install of Kiwix Hotspot. Add a 'ssh' file to the /boot partition and then login with normal raspi default credentials.
- Configure System
sudo raspi-config- Boot Options -> Desktop/CLI -> Console Autologin
- Interfacing Options -> 1-Wire
- Update APT
sudo apt-get update
- Install minimal xwindows
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils xinit matchbox-window-manager
- Install Chromium Browser
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends chromium-browser
- Install Matchbox virtual keyboard
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends matchbox-keyboard
- Install RPi.GPIO for python3
sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO
That should take care of the software installs. Now copy the .xsession file from this repository to the home directory of the user 'pi'
cp .xsession ~
Edit the .bashrc file in the home directory and add the following to the bottom
startx -- -nocursor
Now install the service.
sudo cp apocpi.service /etc/systemd/system/sudo systemctl enable apocpi.servicesudo systemctl start apocpi.service
