What is Kupiki Hotspot

This project is the latest version of the tutorial created first on my blog Pi Home Server Created on a Raspberry Pi 2, some functionalities and tools where not available for the Raspberry Pi 3. Also the tutorial was a little bit difficult to implement because of too many steps. That's why i decided to create a script that will help you to build your own hotspot automatically.

Once the script is executed, you will get :

  • A Wifi hotspot using the integrated wifi chipset
  • A custom captive portal based on coovachilli
    • The portal is served by the high performance web server Nginx
    • The design of the portal can be easily modified for anyone who has knowledge in HTML and Javascript
  • An authentication process based on freeRadius
    • User/password authentication
    • MAC address authentication (optionnal)
  • An interface for freeRadius management
    • daloRadius is installed by default, served by Nginx web server
    • A full management of the hotspot, with batch for user creation, vouchers, NAS, etc.

The installed system have been secured using ANSSI security recommendation and is compliant with french laws about free wifi hotspots (R. 10-13 et R. 10-14 , IV of CPCE)
