Guide - Content Server Guide - Raspberry Pi

What is provided in this guide?

The guide will provide you with the information and instructions on how you can set up a Raspberry Pi with a Content Server on a generic Apache server. Please refer to the Content Server Recommended Specs before you move to the setting up the content server.

What is the benefit of this?

The goal of the document is that you will be able to create a Content server easily. The further instruction will provide you to convert your Raspberry Pi into a Wireless Access Point (WAP) which you can use to sync with your Rumie Tablet or device where you do not have WiFi capability. Using this process you will be able to sync Rumie Tablets or your device with the Rumie App in remote conditions where the standalone network is provided by the Rasberry Pi and you can perform LAN Sync

The guide will consist of 3 parts:

Configuring the Raspberry Pi. Headless Setup with WiFi and SSH enabled
Setting up the Apache server and Loading your Rumie Project to the server
Setting up a Rasberry Pi as an access point in a Standalone Network (NAT)

1. Raspberry Pi Headless Setup

The Raspberry Pi is an awesome little computer that can do just about anything. It’s around $35 USD for the 3B+ model, which is the one we have used and configured the steps for. It comes with WiFi and Bluetooth onboard. This post will go over how to install Raspbian, configure WiFi, and enable SSH (all without using a monitor, mouse, or keyboard attached to the Pi).

Before you do the configuration, you will need

Laptop
Wifi available for the first configuration
SD Card preferably more than 4gb
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (You can also have a different model)**
Putty installed on your laptop

**If you have purchased a different model other than 3B+ then please know that there will be few changes in the configuration steps. The replication process will not be the exact same**
