Hi all,
In libremesh, when you connect a host to the network, the hostname is registered and spread all over the mesh, so if you need to access that device you can use it's hostname.
If you for example set the device name as "Wikipedia" , when you go to the browser and access http://Wikipedia/ you will be accessing that device's web server.
There is a need to be able to define this in a more flexible way... Could be via an alias mechanism, or by reserving certain IP address to static hosts... Yet this has not been done and it is not written.
If you are interested in working on this, I can put energy in writing it.
Regards

Hi people! I'm glad to tell you that after some time I manged to get
routing working after your help (the suggested solution was to download
a stable version).
Now I'm facing other problems (not in the software, but in my knowledge
of all this stuff), and again need your help.


The next stage is actually using that router in a school. It has:
* 10 Windows pcs
* 1 linux pc (to host the content like videos, wiki, web pages, etc)
* a big ethernet switch


So here are my questions:

1) Can the libremesh router be connected (via the switch) to all the
pcs? If possible, where is the documentation to know how?
2) Can we give the linux pc some domain name to make a web server out of
it? (so the people can type something like http://school/homework)
3) People should be able to connect with their cellphones to the
network, and access the content. Is this possible?


In a previous mail with the subject "LuCI and lime-app" it is said:
>> - change wifi SSID, hide SSID, change wifi password,
> this will be overwritten by lime if you do lime-apply
> can be done with lime (check documentation)

I think this is my use case, but I can't find that documentation. Can
you point me to it?


To give some more context, in the future we would like to add some more
routers to connect key spots, and people nearby.


Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Pedro.
