A webUI for network-manager to connect to wifi networks using the Touchscreen
I am utilizing Apache, and I have simply transferred the folder into a directory within my /var/www/html. It can be accessed via localhost/path/to/folder/index.html.
Next, install dependencies by executing the following command:
sudo apt install python3 python3-flask python3-flask-cors dbus
After this, you are ready to run the Python script. Since it requires permissions to manage the Wi-Fi, you should either run it as root (note that this is risky and should only be done for testing purposes) or assign the necessary permissions to another user. This is a good resource on this topic.
As long as the Python script is active, you should be able to search for networks and establish connections with them.
If everything is functioning correctly, you'll need to configure a service to keep the Python script running in the background continuously.
Place a file named YOUR_SERVICE.service in /etc/systemd/system
This is an Example, Adjust Path and User to your needs:
[Unit]
Description=Python WLAN Manager Service
After=network.target
[Service]
User=USERNAME
ExecStart=python3 PATH/TO/wlan_manager.py
Restart=always
Environment=PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now enable and start the service using:
sudo systemctl enable YOUR_SERVICE.service
sudo systemctl start YOUR_SERVICE.service
now check if the service is running:
sudo systemctl status YOUR_SERVICE.service
the outout should contain the word "Active" in green letters.
Now we need to install a Firefox extension to get a virtual keyboard which can be found Here
Now everything should work, if not feel free to ask.
