Hey, I forgot my password at the mo,, will sort this later, I love your reply and the history behind the changes, I will be looking at this again so I make sure i have the coffee pot on and go throw each section, yes I can see the problems around the more bigger options like PHP and file storage on smaller devices.
I have tried to mimic the set up on my Pi so far with dnsmasq and hostapd, apache2 and php, what seems to mimic it as well as it can, I liked PB over what I have for the fact of the OS footprint is much smaller, I using rasbin as a base so its got alot of things not needed.
I will keep reading in to this more and see if I can do what I want again with the PB, it does not offer PHP like I wanted it but it offers everything else I needed, I will redo it all from scratch again, like I said I not going to stop following this project, I think little nodes/networks box's like this are more needed now then ever.
I am dyslexic so when I ask things or try and explain things I can come across like a tit lol so don't worry about it I found your posts more informative then anything, and seeing the path its all gone I understand its limitions,
One thing I would like is maybe a way to drop one hosting platform for our own on more powerful devices, and I not saying you should do this, its about all of us hacking the world lol, and if there is a easy nice simple way to do it and I find it out I will be posting it here.
are the html files premade in the img? as that might be first step edit them files and then editing the install script to all match a custom domain, the way I do it is I don't redirct the server or anything on the dns side so it all points to my http server and vhost catchs to see if the domain is part of its list if not it defaults what I hope to add a redrict like yours to a default name in the vhost.
I guess I have the libity to use more resoures, doing this on the pi v1 was much more slow and locked up at times but with the pi 3 I able to do much more, I know I should still use the less is more ideal but the system I want is a mini node with mesh what will then help a small group of users to have there node with there network basics like a node forum, chat, file share, the basics what PB has but then be able to expsand on that with there own node services, I need to look in to mesh next what scares the living hell out of me as I not getting ANY good or useful infomation in the last few years since p2p or meshnet as become a taboo in many peoples eyes since it is harder to monitor.
