PyFi Spot

Installation

nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx

Files needed

The important section exactly for this is:

server {
    listen          80 default_server;
    server_name     www.portal.redlibre portal.redlibre;

    access_log      /var/log/nginx/pyfispot-access.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/pyfispot-error.log;

    location / { try_files $uri @pyfispot; }

    location /static {
        root /home/pi/apps/pyfispot/raspberrypi/home/pi/apps/pyfispot;
    }

    location @pyfispot {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:3031;
    }
}

uWSGI

I'm using the git version of uWSGI because the version from the RaspberryPi repository is really outdated: 1.2.3.

git clone https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/
cd uwsgi
python uwsgiconfig.py --build core
python uwsgiconfig.py --plugin plugins/python core python27

Files needed

We also need an script to be ran at startup in /etc/init.d/uwsgi.

sudo update-rc.d uwsgi enable

virtualenv

cd pyfispot
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate

PyFi Spot

Once the virtualenv is activated, we need to install Flask to be able to run PyFiSpot:

pip install flask==0.10.1

conntrack

sudo apt-get install conntrack

Files needed

We borrowed a simple script to remove some blocked connection when the user is not logged in yet.

Testing

If everything is properly setup, we should see the PyFi Spot Captive Portal at http://portal.redlibre/
