Setting up an Access-Point
==========================
To set up an access-point, edit `tools/install-hostapd` to your needs and run
sudo su -
cd pi-imgtank
tools/install-hostapd
This will install `hostapd` and `dnsmasq` and configure both packages.
**Note that you definitely should at least change the wlan-password
(variable `wpa_passphrase`) in the installation script!**
If you also install the [webserver](./doc/web_install.md
"Installing a Webserver"), you can access the images using the address
http://pi-imgtank/
This works since `dnsmasq` will resolve all hostnames from `/etc/hosts`
and the installation script adds `pi-imgtank` to `/etc/hosts`.
**If you are not using a Pi3, you have to provide your own WLAN-dongle.
The standard hostapd-package might not work in this case.**
