Accessing your node from internet is important if it’s going to be a community web-host, but it is sometimes beneficial to set it up locally and get that working later.

In the Raspberry Pi setup section, you worked with your Pi using a local hostname only, such as lores.local. However, when getting to the Access from internet section you may have gotten stalled at getting a public IP address working, and thus a domain name.

Changing WiFi details

If you’re using a Raspberry Pi without a screen, it’s impossible to log-in if you can’t get it on the network, which can make changing location really hard.

Luckily, there’s a way to put in a new WiFi password without having a screen or keyboard attached to the Pi. Instead you, need an SD card reader.

Mount the SD Card on your dev computer

Take the MicroSD card out of the Pi and put it in the card reader attached to your dev computer.
