$raspap Release 2.1 Awesome Twitter URL

RaspAP lets you quickly get a WiFi access point up and running to share the internet connectivity of a Raspberry Pi. Our famous Quick installer creates a known-good default configuration that "just works" on all current Raspberry Pis with onboard wireless. A handsome responsive interface gives you control over the relevant services and networking options. OpenVPN client support, SSL, security audits, themes and multilingual options round out the package.

RaspAP has been featured on sites such as Instructables, Adafruit, Raspberry Pi Weekly and Awesome Raspberry Pi and implemented in countless projects.

We hope you enjoy using RaspAP as much as we do creating it. Tell us how you use this with your own Pi-powered projects!

Contents

Prerequisites

Start with a clean install of the latest release of Raspbian (currently Buster). Raspbian Buster Lite is recommended.

  1. Update Raspbian, including the kernel and firmware, followed by a reboot:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

  1. Set the WiFi country in raspi-config's Localisation Options: sudo raspi-config

  2. If you have a Raspberry Pi without an onboard WiFi chipset, the Edimax Wireless 802.11b/g/n nano USB adapter is an excellent option – it's small, cheap and has good driver support.

With the prerequisites done, you can proceed with either the Quick installer or Manual installation steps below.

Quick installer

Install RaspAP from your RaspberryPi's shell prompt:

curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash

The installer will complete the steps in the manual installation (below) for you.

After the reboot at the end of the installation the wireless network will be configured as an access point as follows:

  • IP address: 10.3.141.1
    • Username: admin
    • Password: secret
  • DHCP range: 10.3.141.50 to 10.3.141.255
  • SSID: raspi-webgui
  • Password: ChangeMe

Note: As the name suggests, the Quick Installer is a great way to quickly setup a new AP. However, it does not automagically detect the unique configuration of your RPi. Best results are obtained by connecting an RPi to ethernet (eth0) or as a WiFi client, also known as managed mode, with wlan0. For the latter, refer to this FAQ. Please read this before reporting an issue.

Simultaneous AP and Wifi client

RaspAP lets you easily create an AP with a Wifi client configuration. With your RPi configured in managed mode, enable the AP from the Advanced tab of Configure hotspot by sliding the Wifi client AP mode toggle. Save settings and start the hotspot. The managed mode AP is functional without restart.

Note: This option is disabled until you configure your RPi as a wireless client. For a Raspberry Pi operating in managed mode without an eth0 connection, this configuration must be enabled before a reboot.

Support us

RaspAP is free software, but powered by your support. If you find RaspAP useful for your personal or commercial projects, please become a GitHub sponsor, join the project on Open Collective or make a one-time donation with Beerpay. Any of these options makes a big difference!

Manual installation

Detailed manual setup instructions are provided on our wiki.

802.11ac 5GHz support

RaspAP provides an 802.11ac wireless mode option for supported hardware (currently the RPi 3B+/4) and wireless regulatory domains. See this FAQ for more information.

Multilingual support

RaspAP uses GNU Gettext to manage multilingual messages. In order to use RaspAP with one of our supported translations, you must configure a corresponding language package on your RPi. To list languages currently installed on your system, use locale -a at the shell prompt. To generate new locales, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and select any other desired locales. Details are provided on our wiki.

The following translations are currently maintained by the project:

  • Deutsch
  • Français
  • Italiano
  • Português
  • Svenska
  • Nederlands
  • 简体中文 (Chinese Simplified)
  • Indonesian
  • 한국어 (Korean)
  • 日本語 (Japanese)
  • Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
  • Čeština
  • Русский
  • Español
  • Finnish
  • Sinhala
  • Türkçe
  • ελληνικό (Greek)

If your language is not in the list above, why not contribute a translation? Contributors will receive credit as the original translators.

HTTPS support

The Quick Installer may be used to generate SSL certificates with mkcert. The installer automates the manual steps described in the wiki, including configuring lighttpd with SSL support.

Simply append the -c or --cert option to the Quick Installer, like so:

curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash -s -- --cert

Note: this only installs mkcert and generates an SSL certificate with the input you provide. It does not (re)install RaspAP.

More information on SSL certificates and HTTPS support is available on our wiki.

OpenVPN support

OpenVPN may be optionally installed by the Quick Installer. Once this is done, you can managage a client configuration and the openvpn-client service with RaspAP.

To configure an OpenVPN client, upload a valid .ovpn file and, optionally, specify your login credentials. RaspAP will store your client configuration and add firewall rules to forward traffic from OpenVPN's tun0 interface to your configured wireless interface.

Note: this feature is currently in beta. Please read this before reporting an issue.
