Kura No Net package [message #1737708]

Hi All,

I'm wondering that what is the difference between kura no net and normal package?
In the project page, it says;

"Along with release and snapshot versions, Kura also provides "no networking" versions of the Debian install files. Files with "(No Net)" will provide frameworks in which Kura will not assist in configuring network interfaces or firewall."

I can understand the firewall configuration part, but I dont get clearly the network interfaces part. What exactly kura does to network interfaces?

PS: While I was try to set up my pi as an Access Point, I noticed that Kura also does Access Point (with net package). What is the purpose of this access point feature?

Thanks in advance,
Said.

Hello,

If you install Kura with networking support, Kura will control the network interfaces. This allows configuration of settings such as DHCP, Static IP, WiFi settings, etc. It is important to note that Kura will overwrite system files related to networking. This means any existing network settings will be overwritten by the default Kura settings. For the Raspberry Pi, this sets eth0 to be a DHCP client and if there is a Wifi interface, it will setup the Raspberry Pi as a WiFi Access Point.

Since Kura networking manages all interfaces, you can also configure WiFi settings. Using the web UI, you can setup your Raspberry Pi as a WiFi Access Point. This includes setting the SSID, password, DHCP range, etc.

Hope that helps.
