    Create your own off-grid library

  • I thought about creating one of these in the past, but it didn’t fit my needs. I decided to start my own project, called WROLPi. It also uses a Raspbery pi as its base, but also has a Debian installer. I have RPi images available at https://wrolpi.org as well as a link to a demo (the demo needs an update, lots of new features since it’s creation).

    The basic premise of WROLPi is creating your own off grid digital library: videos, web archives, PDFs, ebooks, etc. I have full text search for all of these. Offline maps as well via Open Street Map. Wi-Fi hotspot. Automatic downloads of videos (entire channels), RSS feeds, etc.
