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.

Why:

  • I would like any IoT devices to be be isolated from my network, but still accessable by homeassistant.

What I have done:

  • Hours of googling, installing and uninstalling hostapd and dnsmasq. Editing config files in various way. A few times I got a network to show up but one time it would not assign ip addresses and the other it had access to the outside world.

I usually don't post on stack overflow but I am almost to the point of giving up.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
