Development of a reproducible “build” process for converting official Raspbian SD card images to an image which, when flashed to an SD card and used with a Raspberry Pi Zero W, can produce a WiFi hotspot for easy use. Optional follow-up goals (only if time remains) in this contract include additionally simultaneously connecting the Raspberry Pi to another WiFi network for internet access during use, and a “captive portal” setup to direct users to the correct URL to view images.
- Research reproducible build method
- Translate loose scripts into build
- Setup automated build process
- Make sure built image is equivalent to original ** original 'lite' image
- Convert hostapd configuration.
- Simultaneous client wifi
- Captive portal to images (and wifi config)
- Preinstall all desired packages
- Analyze loose scripts to avoid bad practices
- Place and manage configuration files
- Document process reusably
Following are some of the scripts used in current manual image building process.

Some configuration templates have been put in templates/ directory.
