39C3 Workshop: Is That an Off-Grid Server in Your Pocket? [27 Dec 19:30 - 21:00]

Learn how to host your own digital services on hardware small enough to fit in your pocket. Using the D1 Mini, we will deploy a portable, off-grid web server. You’ll learn how to host files, chat applications, or a captive portal that works entirely independently of the internet. Great for digital dead drops or local emergency information sharing.

Workshop Includes: D1 Mini (ESP8266 based)

Student Prerequisites

• Laptop Required: Please bring a laptop (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with a USB port.

• Software: Install Google Chrome (for web-based flashing tools).

• Cable: A high-quality data USB cable is included in most kits, but bringing a spare USB-C and Micro-USB cable is recommended.
