Used to deploy a RaspberryPi DLNA server via a hotspot
I use this as a portable server for the kids' iPads while in the car or flying on trips.
-
Raspberry Pi Setup:
-
This was built for the Raspberry Pi Zero W
-
"Burn" the Raspbian image of your choice to the SD card with another computer
- Try Etcher by resin.io -- https://www.balena.io/etcher/
-
To allow for SSH access: https://bit.ly/2VUi53V
- You can add a file to the boot partition called "ssh"
touch ssh
- OR...Create a blank txt file and save it to the boot partition as ssh
-
Have the RPi auto connect to you home router on boot so you can ssh in
- Create a file in your text editor of choice called "wpa_supplicant.conf" with the below in the file
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="WIFI_ROUTER_NAME" psk="WIFI_ROUTER_PASSWORD" proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP auth_alg=OPEN }
- Save the config file in the boot partition
-
Install the SD card to the RPi and boot
-
SSH into the RPi through Putty or Terminal of choice https://bit.ly/2UzWyNA
-
Log in and run --
sudo raspi-config
- Setup the keyboard in internationalization tools so it's configured correctly
-
Run --
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git git clone https://github.com/jrossmanjr/zerocar.git cd zerocar/ chmod +x zerocar.sh sudo ./zerocar.sh
- Fill in data for the prompts
- DO NOT RESTART AT ANY PROMPTS!
-
-
The installer will prompt you for:
- SMB Password - so you can connect thru SMB to drop files in
- DLNA Server Name - so you can have a cool name in the DLNA browser of choice
- SSID Name - Name your WiFi hotspot
- Hotspot Password - give the hotspot a password to keep freeloaders out of your stuff
-
Access Droppy (Droppy info: https://github.com/silverwind/droppy )

- After the first reboot go to
-
Access to RaspAP (RaspAP info: https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui )
- After reboot go to
10.0.0.1

Future
- want to harden the OS to make it mostly read only -- to help with SD card corruption
