Since March 2022, gokrazy supports both encrypted and unencrypted WiFi networks! 🎉
Remember that using an unencrypted WiFi network means anyone in range can read your communication. Hence, we strongly recommend using TLS for accessing the gokrazy web interface and doing updates.
To make gokrazy connect to a WiFi network, first include the
github.com/gokrazy/wifi
package in your gokr-packer
command line, e.g.:
gokr-packer \
-tls=self-signed \
-update=yes \
github.com/gokrazy/hello \
github.com/gokrazy/breakglass \
github.com/gokrazy/serial-busybox \
github.com/gokrazy/wifi
Then, configure the wifi
program by creating the file wifi.json
as extra
file:
mkdir -p extrafiles/github.com/gokrazy/wifi/etc/
# To connect to an unencrypted WiFi network, specify no psk:
echo '{"ssid": "My unencrypted WiFi"}' \
> extrafiles/github.com/gokrazy/wifi/etc/wifi.json
# OR, to connect to an encrypted WiFi network, specify the psk:
echo '{"ssid": "Secure WiFi", "psk": "secret"}' \
> extrafiles/github.com/gokrazy/wifi/etc/wifi.json
Alternatively, you can also create the wifi.json
manually on the permanent
data partition with path /perm/wifi.json
.
After starting gokrazy, the wifi
program will connect to the configured WiFi network:
In case you have trouble getting your Raspberry Pi to connect to your network, this is how I set up my TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 with OpenWrt 19.07:
The MAC address filter isn’t a security measure, but prevents others from accidentally joining this open network.
