One-shot installer that turns a Raspberry Pi into a captive-portal WiFi hotspot with RADIUS authentication and daloRadius management UI.

• Parameter wiki
• Original blog tutorial (archived)

What you get

• Onboard WiFi as hotspot
• CoovaChilli captive portal (Nginx-served, HTML/JS customizable)
• Optional user registration (config-gated)
• FreeRADIUS auth (user/password; optional MAC auth)
• daloRadius admin UI at http://<pi_ip>/daloradius

Designed with French public WiFi logging requirements in mind (see repo for legal/compliance notes).

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi 3 or 3B+ (Pi 4 not verified at doc time)
• Ethernet uplink, 4 GB+ SD card, Raspbian-like OS 9+

Install

git clone https://github.com/pihomeserver/Kupiki-Hotspot-Script.git
# Edit script header for your network settings (see wiki)
sudo chmod +x pihotspot.sh && sudo ./pihotspot.sh
tail -f /var/log/pihotspot.log

Do not open daloRadius through the hotspot SSID — use Ethernet/LAN.

Updates (v2.0.0+)

sudo /etc/kupiki/kupiki_updater.sh
