Tutorial CoovaChilli and Freeradius for a Wifi Hotspot with captive portal

[Valery Rezvyakov]

Hello everyone, today I would like to show you how to compile CoovaChilli and Freeradius for a Wifi Hotspot with captive portal on an Orange Pi PC  (or PC Plus). I'm writing this because I couldn't find anything related to this topic on the internet, so I wrote this not very detailed guide.

 

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ua3nbw/opihotspot/master/opihotspot_debian.sh
chmod +x opihotspot_debian.sh
./opihotspot_debian.sh

any mistake?

 

"i will try again"

 

update:

if debug $LAN_INTERFACE value is "wlan0 wlan1"

You first need to figured out what is the chip used in your USB WiFi. To do so, issue the "lsusb" command to figure out which manufacturer it is.

 

Required condition: a board with onboard or supported 3rd party wireless adapter on USB

If you know what is your wireless SSID:

nmtui-connect SSID

If you don’t know, you can browse and then connect

nmtui-connect

Please describe your setup as best as possible so we know what your operating environment is like.

Name of your board:

Name of the image you installed:

Logs, when you can boot the board: armbianmonitor -u (paste URL to your forum post)

Here my opi spec

Board: Orange PI PC

Image: Armbian_5.30_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img

Usb Wifi: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

Usb Lan: ID 0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter

 

Is there something wrong?

 

all usb interfaces that have been tested to connect to the internet

my question

1.during the installation process which interface should be connected to the internet?

2.how to config how to eth0 source (internet) and eth1 captive portal (I prefer to use 2 ethernet)

 

[ayyeah]

hey you, it works.
thanks a lot of support.

 

solution is i use hardcode for variable

WAN_INTERFACE=`ip link show | grep '^[1-9]' | awk -F ':' '{print $2}' | awk '{$1=$1};1' | grep '^e'` # WAN interface (the one with Internet - default 'eth0' or long name for Debian 9+)

LAN_INTERFACE=`ip link show | grep '^[1-9]' | awk -F ':' '{print $2}' | awk '{$1=$1};1' | grep '^w'` # LAN interface (the one for the hotspot)
