RADIUSdesk is a system to rapidly provide and control Internet in communities.
It consists of three main components

• RADIUSdesk - FreeRADIUS front-end.
• MESHdesk - Manage Batman-adv based Wi-Fi mesh networks in a snap.
• APdesk - Manage thousands of Access Points with ease.

Provide a central management system for your Internet users and hardware that is:

• Easy to use.
• 100% under your control.
• 100% Open Source.

• The system runs on Ubuntu although it can run on other Linux distros as well.
• We use
  • NGINX for the web server.
  • MariaDB to store the data.
  • CakePHP to create an API.
  • ExtJs to present a modern GUI that interacts with the API.
• We provide an add-on package to OpenWrt that allows you to centrally controll the hardware.
  • Modular and written in Lua.
  • Also include a Luci component.
  • Support for Wi-Fi 6 is included.
  • Works with OpenWrt 21.02.x

There are pinned repositories below.
Each one comes with their own Wiki pages containing instructions.

• rdcore for installing the central management system.
• openwrt-meshdesk for compiling OpenWrt firmware with the MESHdesk package.

• RADIUSdesk turns 10 in 2022.
• We started the project in 2012 on SourceForge.
• In 2022 we are finally moving house and are relocating onto Github.

  • Ubuntu 10.04
  • FreeRADIUS 2.x
  • ExtJS 4.0
  • CakePHP 2.x
  • OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment (12.09)

  • FreeRADIUS 3.x
  • ExtJS 7.0
