  • RaspiWiFi

    Headless WiFi configuration for the Raspberry Pi (or most other devices running Linux) by using a temporary WiFi access point and web interface

  • https://github.com/jasbur/RaspiWiFi This is a python solution I went with. I'll be honest, it does seem a bit buggy. For example, I have found if you type in your wifi password wrong, it didn't reset again to default back to the hotspot. Maybe I did something wrong. I also soft bricked a pi I had to totally reflash by messing around with this code, so be careful.

  • I came across Comitup. Haven't used it, but it aims to be similar to WiFiManager (ESP/Arduino), which I have used and that worked quite nicely.
