iotwifi
A Docker container for Raspberry Pi that provides a JSON REST API to configure WiFi, enabling simultaneous access point and client modes.
What is iotwifi?
IOT Wifi is a lightweight Docker container designed for Raspberry Pi (ARM) that manages WiFi connectivity through a JSON-based REST API. It allows the device to operate as both a WiFi access point and a client simultaneously, enabling 'configure WiFi over WiFi' functionality common in IoT devices. It wraps the complexity of WiFi management into a small, containerized service, reducing device dependencies to just Docker.
IoT developers and hobbyists building Raspberry Pi-based devices that require initial WiFi configuration over WiFi, similar to commercial IoT products like Nest or Echo. It is specifically for those using stock Raspberry Pi hardware with Docker installed.
Developers choose IOT Wifi for its minimal footprint (~8MB Docker image) and production-proven reliability, with over 800 devices using it for WiFi configuration. Its unique selling point is the dual-mode operation via a simple REST API, isolating WiFi management in a container to simplify deployment and focus on IoT device provisioning.
