Dude thank you so much finally someone who is explaining what to do... All other's just show off their final design and give vage instructions! Thanks again for taking for time in explaining then showing

It would be really cool to add a metal or foil barrier inside of the case as well so that it also acts as a faraday cage. If anything were to happen where electronics were down you would be one of the few people on earth with all of this information. It's a worst case scenario obviously but a cool thing to add I think!

Why are there no comments this is underrated also top notch editing mate love your work

[@collinchidiac5239]

Much appreciated, friend!

[@RoboKestrel]

Very helpful. I also appreciate that you used the Pi 400, as that's the only one I can purchase at this point!

[@mattk4333]

I followed all these steps exactly and when I put my ip:8080 I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED , any ideas ?

[@cgardinerphoto]

thanks for your video! have you tried keeping the zims on a separate media like an external hard drive? I'm hoping it will work out the same but i want to store a bunch more than the boot microsd would allow.

[@corneus5322]

Before you hit Write in raspi imager you can hit the cog and set a bunch of basic settings from the getgo like users, wifi ssh etc

[@ajnelson336]

Great video!
I downloaded multiple .zim files but I can only get one to load in Kiwix at a time. Do you just paste the files next to one another or do I need to separate them with a character? Referencing your comment at 15:00. Thanks!
Thanks!

[@Oclb]

when i get to sudo systemctl start kiwix i get "bad unit file setting" anybody run into this or have any suggestions

[@dkrol997]

Is this still current? And can I download my .zim files on a windows of then transfer the files?
