dhcpcd-ui

A user interface for setting dhcpcd.conf.

By now, can not be used to manage more than ONE interface.

Hosting

The build must be hosted by a device with dhcpcd.conf based networking.

The device must also be runnig an app using:

• @clysema/dhcpcd module
• @clysema/http module (optional but recommended)
• The user runnig the app must have password-less-enabled sudo (like user pi in Raspbian)

Using this config/http.json for the @clysema/http module, the whole thing is easy to setup:

{
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  "root": "/home/pi/axion-freecooling/www",
  "post": ["dhcpcd"]
}

Security

There is NO SSL. The only security measure you can take is running the device app using basic auth option of the @clysema/http module:

USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<password> npm start

The device handles the config changes and reboot

The @clysema/dhcpcd module updates the dhcpcd.conf file and reboots the device.

POST data

Uses an XMLHttpRequest to POST config data:

{
  interface: '...',
  dhcp: '...',
  ip_address: '...',
  routers: '...',
  domain_name_servers: '...'
}

to:

`http://${window.location.host}/dhcpcd`
