Thanks for implementing this. I think many users have been waiting for that feature.
I would suggest to include that as an selectable option in the buster-install-default.sh script.
I would like to avoid two install scripts, which have to be maintained. The install script already causes enough issues ;-)
There is one issue, I am not sure if this script covers it: in the Web UI you can add more than one WiFi network. And the Phoniebox will connect to the available one based on a rank order or importance. Here is a screenshot of that page and some info: In the Hotspot script, the SSID and password are taken from the wpa configuration. In my understanding it is possible that there are more than one ssid / passwd combinations in that file.

@Groovylein The enable / disable of wifi is here: RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/playout_controls.sh Line 547 in e0a0d66 :) :) :) |

Found an issue while running the crontab as root. Fixed it now. |
@s-martin you are right. I only created a separate script to test. I will merge it but I think this feature can be installed always. So no option needed. |
Multiple SSIDs and Passwords would not affect the hotspot script as long as they are defined within
It should be kept as a separate script? |
I only copied the script from the source given in line 1041 😬 I can try adapt this and solve the bug |

@MiczFlor I've tried the WebUI and the script is working as expected since the WebUI is also using a |

@MiczFlor what do you mean by "missing"? |

You are right. I was wrong. I thought this was part of the new hotspot setup... |

I can't see any wifi network of phoniebox in my smartphone , if my phoniebox isn't Connected to home-wlan. Do i have to install this Feature separately? Thx |
|
Can i install it per one line installer? Do i have to install it from naked Buster Image or can i install it over an existing phoniebox? Sorry for this beginner questions :) |

Hi @Dodo121188,
If you experience more problem, please use #956 since this merge is closed |
Like in #956 requested, I created a new function in the install script to install a service that checks if a Hotspot is required.
The service checks every 5 minutes if a Hotspot is required. If required it opens up a Hotspot with following credentials:
SSID: phoniebox
Password: PlayItLoud
If connected to the Hotspot you can access the webpage via IP:
10.0.0.5
Now I need testers :)
I was only able to test it on my test environment on a RPi 4
