kandi X-RAY | netconnectd Summary

netconnectd is a Python library. netconnectd has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However netconnectd build file is not available. You can download it from GitLab.

netconnectd is a small daemon that ensures connectivity for single-PCB devices such as the Raspberry Pi where you don't always have the means to setup your network interfaces by hand. It monitors your current link status by checking if there are any other systems reachable and if not fires up an access point (via hostapd and dnsmasq). Additionally it allows control and configuration via a unix domain socket and a command line client/JSON based command protocol that allows listing available wifi cells and configuring a wifi network to use instead of the AP in the future. It is intended to be used as part of a connectivity solution, acting as the backend to a frontend e.g. in a web application running on the device. netconnectd has been written to work with Debian based Linux distributions such as Raspbian or Ubuntu and is provided under terms of the AGPLv3 license.

Install netconnectd

It's finally time to install netconnectd:.
Change the passphrase/psk for your access point
If necessary change the interface names of your wifi and wired network interfaces
If your machine is not running NetworkManager, set wifi > free to false
if you don't want to reset the wifi interface in case of any detected errors on the driver level, set wifi > kill to false
netconnectcli status displays the current status (which interfaces are connected, is the AP running, etc)
netconnectcli start_ap manually starts the AP
netconnectcli stop_ap manually stops the AP
netconnectcli list_wifi shows the wifi cells currently in range
netconnectcli configure_wifi <ssid> <psk> configures the wifi connection (<ssid> = the wifi's SSID, <psk> = the wifi's passphrase)
netconnectcli select_wifi manually brings up the wifi configuration

Support

Before you continue make absolutely sure that hostapd works with your wifi card/dongle! To test, create a file /tmp/hostapd.conf with the following contents:. This should not show any errors but start up a new access point named "TestAP" and with passphrase "MySuperSecretPassphrase", verify that with a different wifi enabled device (e.g. mobile phone). If you run into errors in this step, solve them first, e.g. by googling your wifi dongle plus "hostapd". You might need a custom version of hostapd (e.g. for the Edimax EW-7811Un or other RTL8188 based cards) or a custom driver. If you change anything related to hostapd during getting this to work, verify again afterwards that the automatic startup of hostapd is still disabled and if not, disable it again (see above for infos on how to do that).
