Captive Network Assistant

Translation status

Log into captive portals—like Wi-Fi networks at coffee shops, airports, and trains—with ease. Captive Network Assistant automatically opens to help you get connected.

Screenshot

Building, Testing, and Installation

Run flatpak-builder to configure the build environment, download dependencies, build, and install

flatpak-builder build io.elementary.capnet-assist.yml --user --install --force-clean --install-deps-from=appcenter

Then execute with

flatpak run io.elementary.capnet-assist

Debugging

Set the environment variable G_MESSAGES_DEBUG to "all" to have the captive-login binary print debug messages.

Use the flag -u to direct the captive login window to a specific URL:

flatpak run io.elementary.capnet-assist -u https://elementary.io

An example HTML file is included in this repository, e.g. for screenshots, but note you must give access permission and include a file:// path:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/home/username/Projects/elementary/capnet-assist/data/example.html:ro io.elementary.capnet-assist
flatpak run io.elementary.capnet-assist -u file:///home/username/Projects/elementary/capnet-assist/data/example.html
