Setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 as an Access Point
I also have no experience going headless.
I think I'll just boot a live LM and install the realvnc viewer from its site and see if I can access the Pi.
I see RealVNC server is in the RPi repo/s and easily installed; on my LM there is no realvnc viewer in the repo/s; there is Tiger; I think I'll
just boot a live LM and install the realvnc viewer from its site and see
if I can access the Pi.
This isn't the right group for this thread, but right now I'm not
subscribed to a more appropriate one. If y'all think I should take it somewhere else, I'll subscribe there.
My project is about changing my RPi3B from a conventional Raspbian
desktop to a headless AP according to the tutorial here:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-3-as-an-access-point/all
Setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 as an Access Point
My plan is to sorta do it like the tutorial, which I have never done,
but to do it somewhat differently than the article, which I have ALSO
never done.
The 'current' RPi has wifi connectivity and functions like a desktop
for such as a browser and newsgroup. What I've done so far is to add ethernet connectivity, because the wifi is going to be corrupted from
the gitgo.-a Then I will complete the tutorial to make the Pi an access point w/ monitor, mouse, kb; but that isn't what I want in the end.
I want the Pi to become a headless AP so as to enable its new location
which can only 'support' power and ethernet, not the peripherals.
I also have no experience going headless.
sadly (for them) such is not the case for some of my chickens

In my youth, my mother was in charge of fetching, beheading, plucking, cleaning and cooking the chickens in our backyard, which were also the source of our eggs.
That was also the backyard where a mule kicked me in the head when I foolishly pulled his tail.-a It seemed like a good idea at the time; I
was very young.

that must have hurt!
The other story my mother likes to tell
the vanes were whirling around
I may next investigate whether or not I like to use Tiger as a viewer
for the real server.

My recollection was that I was 'admiring' his tail by grasping it.
According to my mother, her mother was first on the 'scene' and seeing
the gash on my forehead and my stunned stupor, tho't I was dead.
I proudly wore that forehead scar as I grew older.
The other story my mother likes to tell about that same farm/ranch
place was that there was a windmill in the front yard which I decided
to climb to near the top where the vanes were whirling around, and she
had to climb up there and bring/carry me down.
For years and years thereafter, she would send me little windmill
mementos from time to time when she would run across them.
Now I'm trying to figure out if there is some way the RPi could have two different 'modes' of operation; I may take that puzzle over to the RPi
group. For the time being, before I go headless, I would like to be
able to 'switch' its mode of operation from conventional wifi
connectivity to ethernet connection + being a wifi access point. That
is, have 'either/or'.
