Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB)

Welcome to the Git repository for Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB). Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is a small, inexpensive device which provides essential Internet resources (Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, Khan Academy and others) without any Internet connection.

You are encouraged to customize this local content hotspot or server with the best of the world’s Free Knowledge — to suit your own region, your school, your medical clinic, your library and/or for your very own family.

FYI this community product is enabled by professional volunteers working side-by-side with schools, clinics and libraries around the world. Thank you for being a part of our grassroots technology movement!

Installation

Pre-releases of Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) are available from http://download.iiab.io — click on the highest version number and then launch the 1-line installer.

Please see "What are the best places for community support?" at http://FAQ.IIAB.IO which has 40+ questions and answers to help you along the way, as you put together the digital knowledge hotspot most suitable for your own community.

The Installation wiki page has more intricate details e.g. if you're trying to install Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) on a different platform that has not yet been tried.

Built with Ansible

FYI we use Ansible as the underlying technology to install, deploy, configure and manage the various software components.

Contributing

We greatly welcome contributions from educators, librarians and IT/UX/QA people of all kinds!

Thank you for helping us enable offline access to the Internet's open knowledge jewels, as well as "Sneakernet-of-Alexandria" distribution of local/indigenous content, when mass media channels do not serve grassroots voices.
