DRC Sim Server

Running from source directory

Last tested on Fedora 42

Build wpa_supplicant

cd drc-hostap/wpa_supplicant
cp ../conf/wpa_supplicant.config .config
make "-j$(nproc)" EXTRA_CFLAGS='-Wno-format-truncation'

Backend GUI

1. Install the dependencies (depends.fedora.txt)
2. Install Pipenv (pipx install pipenv)
3. pipenv install -e .
4. sudo "$(pipenv --venv)/bin/drc-sim-backend" --verbose --wpa-supplicant="$(pwd)/drc-hostap/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant" --wpa-cli="$(pwd)/drc-hostap/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli"

The GUI doesn't have any cleanup functionality, so it won't re-manage your wifi interface when it's done with it. Use nmcli d se <interface name> managed yes to re-enable NetworkManager functionality.

If you're running the GUI in a container, you'll need to give it some help. Use nmcli d se <interface> managed no to unmanage the interface for it.
