• Instructions

What is BiblePress?

• BiblePress is a small (fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand small), portable, way for you to share articles, pictures, mp3s, videos, and even PDFs of books, with anyone who connects to a WiFi hotspot over which you have control.
• It is an alternative to the solution provided by the people over at Biblebox.org, who you should also check out - they do good work (biblebox.org was down at the time of writing)

What is on BiblePress?

• Whatever you upload. You have complete control.

How can I upload files?

• You simply log in via an internet browser, and use the wordpress system.

How does a person connect?

• From their phone, tablet, or laptop, a person only needs to connect to your WiFi hotspot (named BiblePress), and open up an Internet browser. when they attempt to browse, they are redirected to your BiblePress page.

Can a person access the internet, and use my download quota?

• No, there is no Internet connection on the BiblePress hotspot, so this is not possible for them to achieve.

What are the technical details?

• BiblePress is running on a Rasperry Pi 3, with a 2BD antenna. It requires a 5V power supply to run.
• The software operating on it is Ubuntu MATE 16.04, nginx, mySQL, PHP7.0, wordpress, openssh, dnsmasq, and hostapd.

How do I make one?

• A "How-To" is in the works.

What will it cost?

• Depending on optional extras, you could spend anywhere between $100, and $300 per unit.

How long does it take to set up?

• For an experienced user, allow 5-8 hours, depending on Internet connectivity, and SDcard class.
