Raspberry Pi Forums

So I am still somewhat new to these Raspberry Pis but I have come across an issue that I would like to solve. I believe it can be done so I am reaching out to you guys to see if you can help.

I move my raspberry pi around a lot and I never carry around a keyboard and mouse with me because that would just be weird. Now ideally I would like to turn on my Raspberry Pi and have it giving off a wifi signal where I could connect to it with my phone or laptop. Once done I would like to be able to visit a static IP like 192.168.0.1:88 and be presented a page where I can enter my wifi credentials to my home wifi so my Pi can connect to wifi. Can this be done? If not done with wifi can I do bluetooth?

I am still new to this but I have done some research. I found this https://github.com/sabhiram/raspberry-w ... -wifi-conf but the install did not go very well for me with my lack of knowledge. Maybe someone could assist me there?

Anyways what are your guys thoughts? Is there a better way to have this done? Thanks!

An alternative approach to consider:

Use your phone as a mobile hotspot, with the access credentials in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf on the PI

At a new location, turn on the mobile hotspot and the Pi will automatically connect.

Then you need to append the new network credentials to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. That could be by manually editing it via ssh or some fancier method.

Reboot the Pi and turn off your mobile hotspot. If you got everything right, it should connect.
