Re: Webfiles on PirateBox
Those are mostly plain HTML files. The Forum however runs on perl and the file upload is a small python script afaik.
BUT: I have php working on my RPi (to run h5ai), it's of course not blazingly fast and the php-cgi processes eat some RAM, but it does work good overall.
That being said, good luck with your mod! ;-)

Good Luck!^^
hostapd -dd /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf? It produces some output for me at least...
Or maybe edit

Can't find SSID, help appreciated
Hi all,
So i bought the wireless USB adapter "TP-Link TL-WN823N". It's currently not on the "known as working"-list. I followed all the instructions up to step 8 and when I disconnect the power, remove the UTP-cable and restart the pi, i can't find the SSID. Perhaps someone can help me? Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't find SSID, help appreciated
I cant find the TP-Link TL-WN823N on this list of working devices, there is a TP-Link TL-WN822N but that is a different device.
The default version of Hostapd doesn't support many realtek chipsets/drivers, but there is a modified version which might solve your problem. You find instructions to use the modified version here [forum.piratebox.cc]

Re: Can't find SSID, help appreciated
I guess the "TP-Link TL-WN823N" can be added to the list of working devices :D
I have set the driver to rtl871xdrv, and replaced hostapd with the one from adafruit. It worked right away.
Thanks a lot Tobias!!!

PirateBox & Real Radio!
Hi,
So I succeeded into combining PirateBox and a very simple RPi "hack" which sends sound into ether. A very simple antenna, connected to GPIO 4, that transmits to about 100 metres(around 330 feet). I added a page to the PirateBox webserver which shows current song played, playlist, running frequency. Anyone care about having this on their piratebox? Let me know and i'll make it available as mod.

Re: SSID isnt being detected
Hi, sorry to revive an old thread but I really don't think I need to post a new one just for this.
I have a WG111v2 wireless USB adapter and I've come to the conclusion that it does not support access points, as it does not list AP mode in the output of iw list.
Some other information, just for the record:
lsusb:
hostapd:
systemctl:
In conclusion, I spent quite a while trying to fix it with no success and could maybe save people a few hours of tinkering by posting. If anyone does get it to work, I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think I might just buy a new adapter.

No offense given, but I don't think we'll be using any debian in future releases as the overhead of all the gui stuff is far too much for our use case. I think we will stick to ArchLinux ARM for the time being, as it is lightweight and fast... Matthias, please correct me.

Re: Raspberry Pi Model B+
Now bear with me, I'm JUST starting to play with PirateBox today for the first time, I know next to nothing about it...
However, I have some B and B+ Pis hanging around and I have something in mind that runs on batteries, so would prefer to use the B+. It has a deadline coming up pretty soon, and it SEEMED like this should work in theory, so I gave it a try... I did confirm that the latest 2014.05 image (at this writing) doesn't quite work on the B+, as expected, it boots but doesn't "see" the Ethernet or USB connections.
I downloaded a fresh image, loaded it onto a card, loaded the card into a Pi model B, hooked it up to an Ethernet connection for Internet access, booted, logged on as root, and ran:
pacman -Syu
.. before doing anything else. For reasons unknown (to me, anyway) it took a few tries, and once it did a hard reboot right in the middle of the process and left files corrupted, I had to reload the image onto the card and start over... but eventually it worked.
The trouble might have had something to do with it being a newly-unwrapped Pi, or maybe plugging into a WiFi router set up in client server mode, or power.. who knows.
Once the upgrade/update completed successfully I shut down, disconnected the wired Ethernet, plugged in a wireless dongle, booted again, ran piratebox and confirmed that I could log in from another machine.
Then I shut down again, took everything apart and plugged the card and everything else into a B+, booted again, and... well, there may be a hundred reasons that this won't work right, or fully, I wouldn't know, but so far.. it seems to be working just fine on the B+. Less than an hour now, but, still...
I'll attempt to proceed this way. If I run into real problems I can always drop back to the B, but, so far, so good...
YMMV, of course.

Re: Really don't get how to set up the USB
I've set up several instances of Raspian to boot off of the SD but run EVERYTHING after boot, including the OS, off of a USB drive. If I figure it out with Arch I'll post it.
IMHO, that's the way to go, not just move the file sharing directories. A lot of people don't seem to realize it, but even USB 2.0 is quite a bit faster than accessing the SD, if you have a USB drive it just makes no sense NOT to run the OS off of it, you'll notice the difference in speed. Also, USB drives are in general designed more robustly, they are less likely to get corrupted files if there's a power problem or something.
Unfortunately, the last time I checked there was a bug in Raspian that made it impossible to reliably boot off of a certain USB drive IF there was more than one USB drive attached. Not a problem with just one, though. In one instance we worked through it by using the GPIO to turn power on to the second drive... maybe it's fixed in the OS now.

You are right. The Raspbian image is sooo big because of stuff we don't need. Sorry, no official image for raspbian, only manual instructions.
