Raspberry Gateway Logo Raspberry-Gateway provides a simple but powerful solution for managing your home internet gateway using a Raspberry Pi. This project includes a range of Docker containers, each serving a specific purpose to enhance your internet experience:

  • Portainer a lightweight universal management GUI for all Docker containers which included into this project.
  • Unbound DNS is the validating, recursive and caching DNS resolver. Designed to be fast and lean.
  • Pi-hole network-wide ad-blocking and local DNS solution. Can be paried with Unbound.
  • Technitium-dns is the self host DNS server to block ads & malware at DNS level for your network.
  • OpenVPN Server with simple WEB UI and VPN subnets support.
  • OpenVPN Client for qBittorrent connection to the external VPN server.
  • GlueTun - universal OpenVPN and Wireguard client for multiple VPN providers, using DNS over TLS and a few proxy servers built-in.
  • WireGuard Server with own WEB UI for easy management.
  • Xray Server with experimental Shadowsocks and XTLS-Reality fast tunnel proxy that helps you to bypass firewalls.
  • qBittorrent - an open-source software alternative to µTorrent.
  • Grafana Dashboards for Internet speed, VPN, Raspberry Pi hardware and Docker containers monitoring.
  • Various Prometheus exporters: cAdviser, AirGradient, StarLink, ShellyPlug and others.

Overall, this Raspberry Pi Home Internet Gateway provides a universal solution for managing and monitoring your home internet enviroment with joy and ease.

latest version

Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM4 I/O Board or Raspberry Pi 3 board, with 1-2Gb RAM.
  • Raspberry Pi Imager to simplify installation of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (x64 or i686 bit).
  • Raspios Lite (64bit) however is recommended for this setup.
  • 16Gb SD Card

    Note: You can run it on CM4 board with 8Gb eMMC card. Full installation on top of latest Raspios lite (64bit) will use 4,5Gb of your eMMC card. Raspberry Pi Zero-W or W2 boards can also be used, but it's important to note that they lack an internal Ethernet adapter and have limited CPU and RAM resources. This can restrict the number of containers that can be run and the number of clients that can connect to the VPN server.

Installation

  1. Install Ansible:
    sudo apt-get install -y git ansible python3-pip musl-tools
  2. Clone this repository:
    git clone https://github.com/d3vilh/raspberry-gateway
  3. Then enter the repository directory:
    cd raspberry-gateway
  4. Install requirements:
    ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

    Note: If you see ansible-galaxy: command not found, you have to relogin (or reboot your Pi) and then try again.

Continue Installation with WebUI
  1. Run Webinstall binary:
    secret@rpgw:~/raspberry-gateway $ ./webinstall # Supports now both legacy Pi4_x64 and Pi5_x64
    2023/07/07 18:01:03 Welcome! The web interface will guide you on installation process.
    Installation logs: webinstall.log
    2023/07/07 18:01:03 Starting web server on http://10.10.10.18:8088
  2. Copy server address (http://10.10.10.18:8088 as above example) from the console and paste into your browser, then press Enter. Raspberry-Gateway webinstall window will appear: Webinstall picture 1
  3. Choose all the components you would like to install and change all the passwords (keep them in mind).

    Note: You can leave all the passwords as default, but it's not recommended.

  4. Press "Save" button. When your configuration is ready: Webinstall picture 2
  5. Then press "Install" button. It will initiate installation in background: Webinstall picture 3
  6. The installation process will take some time. Once that's done, it'll be like you have a new Raspberry Gateway up and running.
  • Additional options:

    • To Remove any of previously installed component - click Uninstall "component" checkbox then save configuration file and press Uninstall button.
    • To set Default options for the next webinstall run - modify example.config.yml with the default parameters.
    • Default Ansible parameters, such as ansible_user can be set in example.inventory.yml file.

Afraid of GUI? Need more control?

Install everything with CLI
  1. Make copies of the configuration files and modify them for your enviroment:

    yes | cp -p example.inventory.yml inventory.yml 
    yes | cp -p example.config.yml config.yml
  2. Double check that ansible_user is correct for inventory.yml. Need to run installtion on the remote server - follow the recomendations in config file.

    Note: To make all necesary changes: nano inventory.yml, save the file - Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X to exit.

  3. Modify config.yml to enable or disable desired containers to be installed on your Pi. For example, to enable Portainer - change enable_portainer: false option to enable_portainer: true and vs to disable.
