WifiBox

The WifiBox project aims to get inspiring content into under-serviced communities via locally stored content on low-cost WiFi portals.

The hardware is a Raspberry Pi and a cheap wifi AP. The OS (Raspbian), platform (Django+Nginx+gunicorn) and content are stored on a single SD card.

TODO

• Create full installation instructions for a new Raspbian WifiBox (Install nginx, django, virtualenv etc)
• Get the 3G dongle VPN working so that we can manage and monitor the box remotely.
• Add more content sources eg. Wikipedia Schools, Podcasts (preloaded and fetched via 3G, News fetched daily.
• So much more...
