Hi Željko,

Also take a look at http://internet-in-a-box.org used by schools and medical clinics in dozens of countries, which allows easy install of 4 kinds of content:

1. ZIM files

2. RACHEL modules

3. Kolibri Channels (e.g. Khan Academy with quizzes & tips for teachers, etc)

4. OpenStreetMap Map Packs for any continent you choose (with high-resolution satellite photos for any 1000x1000 km region of your choice, up to 14 levels of zoom)

Internet-in-a-Box can also auto-install programs like MediaWiki, WordPress, Nextcloud, Moodle, the Minecraft-like gaming server Minetest, and Calibre-Web for e-books. Depending on your needs, there are 30+ such services/apps you can choose from here:

http://FAQ.IIAB.IO > "9. What services (IIAB apps) are suggested during installation?"

Internet-in-a-Box's 1-line installer is here: http://download.iiab.io (for people familiar with Linux, this gets you the very latest). For people less familiar with Linux, pre-built images for the older Internet-in-a-Box 7.1 are here: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Images:-Summary

Release Notes: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-7.1-Release-Notes

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email and we can do a quick call, so you can talk to other people who've set up community "learning hotspots" in field situations much like yours!

Brilliant!

Yes my preferences are with Etherpad and Jitsi servers as key tools for real-time collaboration in proximity, but with physical distance ;-)

I am not able to code, but happy to help with content, docs and testing.

Hi Zejko,

We have the Kiwix Hotspot[1], and it seems fit to what you have in mind. You can use the installer to pick and chose whatever content from the Kiwix library (there’s a couple thousand in 100+ languages, including Wikifundi for offline editing), and it will prepare a ready-to-use Raspbian image for you (depends whether you do it locally or online, but expect a few hours for a 128 Gb card).

If you think any other content (Etherpad sounds like an idea), feel free to post a request[2] (or contribute!).

Cheers,
Stephane

hi folks - new here...

Anyone experienced or interested in running self hosted apps (Wikis & co) offline on Raspberry Pi for open-air outdoor education/ collaborations?

What else would you have on the device? Etherpad? Jitsi install?

Links would be welcome, especially if with documentation of possible issues :-)

Best Z
