(Work in progress)
Daemon that receives events via MQTT and controls the color of LIFX smart bulbs to show the status of a CI/CD build pipeline.
Install the latest version of Raspbian.
Enable SSH if it is not already
sudo systemctl enable ssh && sudo systemctl start ssh
sudo bash for a root prompt
apt-get install hostapd dnsmasq
Uncomment and edit these lines in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
interface=lo,uap0
no-dhcp-interface=lo,wlan0
dhcp-range=192.168.2.100,192.168.2.200,12h
Edit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf and change ssid and wpa_passphrase also (this one is plaintext)
interface=uap0
ssid={your ssid}
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase={your passphrase}
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Edit and add to: /etc/network/interfaces
auto uap0
iface uap0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
Edit a new file /usr/local/bin/hostapdstart
iw dev wlan0 interface add uap0 type __ap
service dnsmasq restart
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 ! -d 192.168.2.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
ifup uap0
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Change permissions on /usr/local/bin/hostapdstart
chmod 667 /usr/local/bin/hostapdstart
Edit and add line to /etc/rc.local
hostapdstart >1&
OR just type hostapdstart if you want to see details or if you do not want it to start automatically.
Ignore next step if wlan0 is up and working. Please configure this prior..
Add to /etc/network/interfaces
remove all other wlan0 anything references. then add:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid ssidofAP
wpa-psk a03133ea3333471b0d33dbd1b2b19233294649968537c35904eb3389a7df65ba
Replace the psk with yours generated by typing: wpa_passphrase ssidofAP yourWPApass
Your complete /etc/network/interfaces should look like this but with different wpa-psk and wpa-ssid
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid ssidofAP
wpa-psk a03133ea3333471b0d33dbd1b2b19233294649968537c35904eb3389a7df65ba
auto uap0
iface uap0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
Make sure these services are started
sudo service hostapd start
sudo service dnsmasq start
