An environment-agnostic fork of DreamPi which can run on most GNU/Linux flavors that can run Python 2.7, optimized for use with devices outside of a Dreamcast.
Ensure your distro's kernel is compiled to support PPP and can utilize the PPP daemon (pppd). Otherwise, a network would not be established between the host and client systems and your connection will terminate.
Install the following dependencies through PIP:
- pyserial
- sh
- python-iptables
- miniupnpc
Set a XTABLES_LIBDIR environment variable to the location containing your xtables libraries (e.g. /usr/lib64/xtables/).
This program will use dnsmasq as the DNS daemon. More modern variants of GNU/Linux use systemd-resolved, which may end up reserving certain service ports. Stop other name resolution services before starting the DreamPi service, leaving just dnsmasq during execution.
Copy the dnsmasq.conf file in the etc directory of this repo to your target system's /etc/ directory. Make sure to back up any existing dnsmasq.conf in there or rename it by appending a .bak to the file name.
As root, operate the DreamPi service using either the following commands:
./dreampi.py [start|stop|restart] interface
python(2) dreampi.py [start|stop|restart] interface
The interface parameter corresponds to your network device, such as eth0 or wlan0. Check ifconfig to know your network device's name.
You do not need to define your network interface if you are stopping the service.
