Pi Zero W Wireless Router
This is a page to describe building a Wireless Access Point with two wired ethernet ports for building a home router that connects to the internet with one wired port, and internal Lan with the second wired port and the on-board WiFi.
The intent is to provide this:
|<-->eth1 <-->| Internet <--> eth0 <-->FireWall<-->br0 Internal<--> ssh,bind,dhcp, with ssh reverse ssh connections. |<-->wlan0<-->|
Overview
I generally run Debian and when forced by Red Hot Irons, Red Hat. This is my first foray into Alpine. So far I am very impressed. I mirrored the 3.12 armhf repos so I had things local when I needed them. Word to the wise. That is 13G of apk files.
One *really* nice feature of Alpine is apk, the yum/apt replacement:
- It is simple, short, and to the point.
- The same tool provides *repo* level dependency reporting!
- Install of single packages without repo signing (I never did get the signing correct).
