I want to use my raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a server for scratch cloud variables. I've already got the scratch cloud server working, but I can't figure out how to use the Pi as a hotspot. I've tried following this: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=306201
As well as tried:https://thepi.io/how-to-use-your-raspberry-pi-as-a-wireless-access-point/andhttps://superuser.com/questions/1138763/make-a-wireless-hotspot-in-linux-and-then-ssh-to-it-when-connected
The first one I tried (thepi.io...) didn't work, and I'm not quite sure why. The second one I tried and hit several issues, mainly python related. I'm not very good at python.
If anyone has already done something like this and has a reliable way to host a server, please let me know how you did it. I don't need it to connect to the internet either, I just need it to serve as a link between a few tablets and work as a cloud variable server, using turbowarp's cloud-server (https://github.com/TurboWarp/cloud-server). Thank you!
As mentioned before, I tried several things. With the base pi tutorial, it didn't throw any errors. The SSID doesn't show up, and when attempting to connect directly my devices couldn't find it (Windows and Android). I'd also double checked to make sure I'd done everything correctly, and I did.
For the superuser.com(...) It gave loads of python errors, most of which were Did you mean print('hello world') instead of print 'hello world' ?
Those I manually fixed, then I ran into an issue where I needed to install distutils.core and cli, both of which I satisfied. It didn't work after that, for various other reasons (syntax errors, the programs not being able to find other .py files...ect). Long story short, I gave up on that.
