Auto Access Point

This script is intended for the Raspeberry Pi. It will automatically create a hotspot, if there is no known wifi nearby. Therefore it will use systemd-networkd, wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli. If no device is connected to the hotspot for a while it will search for neworks again.

You need to have a wpa_supplicant-device.conf file similiar to this.

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

### auto hotspot ###      # has to be the first network section!
network={
    priority=0            # Lowest priority, so wpa_supplicant prefers the other networks below
    ssid="autohotspot"    # your access point's name
    mode=2
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk="passphrase"      # your access point's password
    frequency=2462
}

### your network(s) ###
network={
    ssid="yourWifi"
    psk="passphrase"
}

After having installed the script (see below) you can start a hotspot manually by running auto-hotspot --start-ap and stop it with --stop-ap.

If there is a wired network connection the Pi will work as a repeater

How it works is also discussed here: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/100195
