Joy-Pi - Pi-Hole

Summary

Short writeup of using the Joy-Pi case with a Pi-Hole installation, used e.g. for the Open House demo

Requirements

• Operating system: latest Raspbian
• Packages: pihole

Description

Step 1

Install Raspbian and pihole according to their respective documentations

Raspbian Pi-Hole

Step 2

Currently the Raspi is configured to use the eduroam Wifi. In order to do so, modify the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as follows:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 country=AT

network={

  ssid="eduroam"
  proto=RSN
  key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
  eap=PEAP
  identity="USER@HOST"
  password="PASSWORD"
  phase1="peaplabel=0"
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

}

Since there is a bug in the wpa_supplicant >= 2.8 when trying to connect to enterprise Wifis, downgrade to 2.4 or later, under wpa_supplicant for Raspberry Pi

Connect using sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

There is a Bash script in the /home/pi directory, periodically circling through different webpages (just using wget in an infinite while loop).
