Re: [lime-users] Current options of a captive portal for LiMe

At Coolab we have been struggling with this question for a long time since we believe it is essential to make use of local networks as a local communications tool. But, alas, all we have to work for now is a temporary hack that has already 3 years! Pitbull is not useful yet according to Nico Pace. We started to collaborate to develop to get it finished but it doesn't seem like it will happen in less than 6 months or so. The standard nodogsplash also won't work because of the several gateway interfaces that LiMe uses. So back in 2015, Gui made a horrible hack (that's actually the name of it, horrible) to get it to work and that's what we have been using since then. The problem is, it wouldn't install in version 17 of LiMe - different package formats, different firewall rules... So finally only a few days we fixed these issues and managed to hack the configuration enough to get it working again. It would be a very good time for other users to test it - even though, you know, it is temporary. I'll work on an English documentation of the hack this weekend and send it to the list, it would be great if you could test.

It would be a welcome page with some community news, not real authentication. I guess we would like a system where MAC addresses of users who just clicked an "Ok" button of the splash page would be validated for a month. So they would have to go through this News page once a month. I've seen Nodogsplash seems to be maintained again, so I can try to make it work for LiMe. But first I wanted to ask about Pitbull, as I think that was something similar but specially made for LiMe. What is the status of Pitbull? Would it work for the described need?
