Adding a link on homepage

I am trying to add a link to another offline web server to the nav bar at the top of the piratebox homepage. The problem I am having is the link tries to open under the piratebox.lan/content folder. Is there a way to do this?

I am adding the link in mnt/usbshare/share/content/index.html

Now that I think about it I am not sure piratebox would even allow the connection even if the link worked correctly. So I guess my next question is if this is even possible without too much effort? Thanks for your help.

It depends where the other webserver is. Is it connected via wifi and a second client? Or is it on a different port of the piratebox machine?

If it is on a different wifi client, you need to disable the wifi-isolation . This is different for openwrt and RPi. So which version do you run?

this isolation thingy is the only restriction we put in..

I am running the other webserver on a c.h.i.p, so I was going to connect via wifi, however I was going to try the Ethernet over usb feature of chip as well. I am running piratebox on a rpi3. It looks like I found how to disable wifi isolation here:
[forum.piratebox.cc]

How would I go about getting the link to work outside of piratebox.lan?

Hi,
no, this is not correct. I just created this HowTo for RPi based PirateBoxes.


If you want to have a name resolved to the new host, consider to:

- Configure a static IP to your CHIP (192.168.77.3)
- On PirateBox, add the following line to /opt/piratebox/conf/hosts

   192.168.77.3   myotherwebserver  myotherwebserver.lan

That should work, I guess

Ok, thank you, I will try to get this working later tonight.
