Quick Summary of Requirements to make a Ninux.org node :-) <> = Requirements: = == A Site where to install the node == * Possibly this place needs to be reachable from the apartment/house so you can reach the node with network cable(s) * If you want to place the node outside, look for an available antenna pole to use, or mounting place and get an [[http://wiki.ninux.org/Hardware#head-9296dd9a6af7f556f7840c6bd7b2bfcf5087cffc|Appropriate Antenna]] or an [[antennaPCB]]. For Cables, Connectors and Hardware, see list [[ComprareHardware|here]]. Perhaps prepare an [[AccessPointEsterno|appropriate housing]] to protect it against rain and weather == An Access Point == * [[Hardware|Compatible Hardware List]] or a '''TP-Link WR1043ND''', which works fine for inside installation. == Flash it with the appropriate Firmware == There are different firmwares availabe: [[FirmwareNinux|Firmware]], [[Firmware_Linux|(see here too)]] or LibreMesh. Find out which is the appropriate firmware for your area. the biggest communities are linked on the list on the left. == get in contact == * Visit the [[slack]] chat (apply for an invite there) * the global [[https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#ninux.org:matrix.org|webchat]] (that is connected to the IRC channel #ninux at freenode) * write on the [[MailingListsInEnglish|Public Wireless Mailinglist]] * contact node owners in your vicinity via the "Details" link on each node on the [[https://ninux.nodeshot.org/#/map|Network Map]] ---- [[CategoryEnglishPages]]
