NAME

       comitup.conf - Comitup configuration file format

   DESCRIPTION
       The  comitup.conf file configures the wifi management service comitup(8).  It is located in the /etc/ di‐
       rectory.

   PARAMETERS
       • ap_name: By default, comitup will create a hotspot named comitup-<nnn>, publish an avahi-daemon(8) host
         entry for comitup-<nnn>, and establish an mdns identity for comitup-<nnn>.local.  Setting this  parame‐
         ter  will change the comitup string with one of the users choosing.  If the configuration variable con‐
         tains an <nnn> string, with one to 4 “n’s”, it will be replaced with a persistent, random number.  Sim‐
         ilarly, the string <hostname> is replaced with the computer’s hostname.

       • ap_password: If this parameter is defined in the configuration file, then the comitup hotspot will  re‐
         quire that any connection to the hotspot be authenticated, using this password.

       • web_service:  This  defines  a user web service to be controlled by comitup.  This service will be dis‐
         abled in the HOTSPOT state in preference of the comitup web service, and will be enabled  in  the  CON‐
         NECTED  state.   This  should  be  the  name of the systemd web service, such as apache2.service or ng‐
         inx.service.  This defaults to a null string, meaning no service is controlled.

       • service_name: This defines the mdns service name advertised by comitup.   This  defaults  to  “worksta‐
         tion”, and will be advertised as "_workstation._tcp".

       • enable_appliance_mode:  By default, comitup will use multiple wifi interfaces, if available, to connect
         to the local hotspot and to the internet simultaneously.  Setting this to something other  than  “true”
         will limit comitup to the first wifi interface.

       • external_callback:

         The path to an external script that is called on comitup state changes.  It will include a single argu‐
         ment,  either  `HOTSPOT',  `CONNECTING',  or  `CONNECTED'.   The script will run as the owning user and
         group.

       • primary_wifi_device;

         Override the default choice for the primary WiFi device to use.
