wired plus wireless server

Wed Dec 14, 2016 1:58 pm

Hi,

can anybody set me on my way in making the following :

I want to use my Pi as a development server for Wordpress using Eclipse Che. No problem so far.
The Rasp is wired into my LAN and available from both inside and outside my LAN. No problem so far

Sometimes I need to take the rasp with me(on vacation) to places where I risk not having internet available(yep they do exist).
In that case I would like to be able to plugin a wireless antenna so that I can connect with the rasp and start developing.

I'm confused about all the tutorials about acces points and routers. I have no idea if and which of these tutorials can help.

Regards,
Mario

If it's a RPi3B then
https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberr ... h-hostapd/
is what you need.

Simply activate that before you leave the house, disconnect your LAN and shutdown and take your RPi with you. When you get home simple deactivate hostapd and dnsmasq, connect to your LAN and run away happy.

sudo systemctl enable hostapd; sudo systemctl enable dsnmasq # to get things running
sudo systemctl disable hostapd; sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq # to disable them

Starting and stopping the services with a reboot is easiest after that.
