vougenpi

The Raspberry Pi script to generate and print vouchers for hotspot access using Mikrotik routers

Vougenpi can be used in two different operations : directly key mode , file mode

If enable ( start ) gpiobutton.service , you can generate the voucher by press the key.

Default pin is 21 and you can change it on /home/pi/vougen.conf

Also vougen.path service is for to monitor /opt/vougen/inbox/new.txt and you can change this file

for to generate the voucher . The format for this file is issuer,receiver,profile,print

I used this format for to send the command from Asterisk VOIP server for to create the voucher by reception

for the rooms in the Hotel . Here reception is issure and Rooms are receivers .

For directly key mode there is default number for issuer and receiver and you can change it on gpiorder.conf

All the details of vouchers will be record on the vougen database , vouchers table by mariadb server.
