No reset wifi option in Anthias Settings page

Anthias

I have been using Screenly OSE and for various reasons decided to move to current Anthias version on my Pi 3B+. I was unable to get the pre-built images to work, so I started with a Raspian install from Pi Imager and then added Anthias. During that installation I told it to not control the network (and I am certain I do not fully understand the implications of that choice).

I have Anthias running and showing assets, but all the configuration has been done while connected directly to ethernet. In transitioning to be wifi oriented, I used raspi-config and provided it my local wifi SSID and passphrase as the network configuration. Anthias seems to work fine over this while disconnected from the ethernet.

However, I still don’t see an option on the Anthias settings page to reset the wifi; even if I turn off my local wifi there is no automated Access Point page appearing. I am no Docker expert, but I notice there is a Dockerfile.wifi-connect.tmpl file, but “docker container ls” makes no mention of a wifi-connect running (it shows nginx, viewer, websocket, celery, radis, and server images active). How do I get the Access Point page to appear?

Hi all, a quick update for anyone landing on this thread: we’ve brought back WiFi setup via a captive portal in Anthias, in PR #3399. When a screen has no working network, it raises its own access point and shows the network name and passphrase on screen. You join it from your phone or laptop and pick the WiFi network to connect to. No SSH, keyboard, or nmcli needed.

It’s merged into master and we’re calling for testers. If no issues turn up, it’ll ship in the next release, but we’d really appreciate the community’s help putting it through its paces first. The easiest way to try it is with the installer script, choosing the latest option (installs from master). Please report how it went (Pi model, OS, wired or WiFi, anything odd) here or on the PR.
