The Subnodes project is an open source initiative focused on streamlining the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi as a wireless access point for distributing content, media, and shared digital experiences. The device behaves as a web server, creates its own local area network, and does not connect with the Internet. This is key for the sake of offering a space where people can communicate anonymously and freely, as well as maximizing the portability of the network–no dependability on an internet connection means the device can be taken and remain active anywhere. The devices are also mesh enabled, implementing the BATMAN Advanced routing protocol.

Support for Subnodes has been provided by Eyebeam. There are several Subnodes github repositories available depending on your needs:
