Information sharing on the InfoSpots

This page explains how information from community/school members can be shared with other people on the InfoSpots

Purpose of Information sharing

Empowering our communities needs the contribution from everyone. Only community members can define what kind of information is needed for acquiring knowledge and skills. Thus, we need to establish a way of knowledge sharing

The Community/School Server based on a Raspberry Pi (RPI)

Figure 1: Global Yeboo.com page with health information

InfoSpots are equipped with a community/school server, which, in the easiest way, is a Raspberry Pi (RPI). Once you press "Free Internet", you are redirected to Yeboo.com, the home page of the RPI. Though we have a global Yeboo.com page (see Figure 1), each RPI has his own Webserver. The Webserver is the first picture that a user sees.

On the home page of the RPI, one finds a simple Web-page, made with WordPress. The installation of a Web server is an easy way to show people a specific introduction and can bring them further into information for their interest. Our recommendation is to have the home page in a graphical way with icons, pointing to sub-sections of the Web page.

In order to allow sharing, we have implemented a Nextcloud instance on the RPI. Nextcloud is a local cloud, allowing users to create information/content and share it with others.

On Yeboo.BasicInternet.orgwe have described more in detail on how to configure and error search the installation (see ICT-communications/About_RPI.md). The information is open available for everyone. (you need to register for making changes)

Detailed information on RPI usage

Editing the Wordpress installation

If you type Yeboo.com in your browser, you will be redirected to the Web page on the RPI. If you see Figure 1, then your InfoSpot is wrongly configured. Do the following

  1. Power off the RPI, wait for 10 seconds, and then power on again (leave the LNCC powered on). Note: the RPI receives an IP address from the LNCC - to be discussed: should we install all RPIs with fixed IP address? - Advantage: no wrong configuration
  2. If, after starting the RPI again, you still see that "yeboo.com" shows Figure 1, then you need to talk to your network administrator to get the LNCC reconfigured.

If you see the home page of your school/community, you can type yeboo.com/wp-admin to edit the home page. The username is wordpress, the password is known to your technical manager. Now you can see change the home page of your organisation.

Adding information for everyone

We have installed an Nextcloud solution, which is a decentralised cloud solution, on the RPi. Nextcloud is set up such that users with an account can add content, and define if that content is shared publicly.

The procedure is as follows:

  • Connect to BasicInternet on Wifi - select: Free Internet
  • Select the link to Nextcloud
  • Login as user "guest" with password "guest" for access to publicly available content

If you are a teacher, you will receive your own account. You can then add content and share it with your students.

Technical information

How to create an image on the RPI

The easiest way on how to configure a RPI is to create and copy an image from an existing configuration onto a new SD card. Recommended reading:
