I have a very tiny (honestly fairly unimportant) project that I need to figure out a solution, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas.
I need to use a raspberry pi to run as an access point and web server, with the sole purpose of logging a time stamped data entry. I'm thinking of using a captive portal of some kind, so that when the client connects to wifi, it only browses to that one page. (there will be no internet access provided, anyway). Once they connect, I just need a single page to load, let them type a little bit of text, and then save to a file.
(I forgot to mention, the file needs to be saved on the raspberry pi for me, not for the client)
Any ideas? I'd rather not do TOO much coding on this, it's really a vanity project, but I'm having trouble coming up with a simple solution.
I may have found what I need with nodogsplash, but still open to suggestions
