Creating a restricted wifi ap with static ip addresses
us flag

What I am using:

  • Raspberry Pi 4
  • Ubuntu 21.04

What I need:

  • Ethernet with dhcp to connect to my lan.
  • A wifi ap that is isolated from the ethernet.
  • The ability to assign static ip addresses to devices on the wifi network, since some may be unable to do some themselves.
  • Have the ability for docker containers to access devices on the wifi ap, with any configuration done through docker-compose files.

RaspberryPi SD card unusable after taking an image with Ubuntu 20.04
cn flag

I have a Raspberrypi 4 8Gb installed with Ubuntu 21.04, using the Raspberrypi imager, on a Sandisk Ultra microSD card 128Gb. After sometime, the Raspberrypi would 'randomly' not boot up, leaving a black screen. In an attempt to save the SD card setup, I researched how to create an image of the SD card by using the 'dd' command in Ubuntu 20.04. This image was then written to a new SD card (exact same typ ...

Is it possible to downgrade the Kernel version of Ubuntu 21.04 for Raspberry pi 4?

I'm working on Raspberry pi 4 under Ubuntu 21.04 with Arducam Stereo Camera.
