I used a computer as the server and a couple of POCKETCHIPS as the clients. Worked great! I made sure to check out the errata mentioned in the comments as I entered the commands.

Simply install the prboom game with sudo apt update && sudo apt install prboom. A CD for Windows won’t be compatible with the CHIP because Debian and Windows can’t use the same binary programs. However, Doom II is available with various source ports. Search the web.

# Add domains which you want to force to an IP address here.
# The example below send any host in double-click.net to a local
# web-server.
#address=/double-click.net/127.0.0.1
address=/#/172.20.0.1

Not sure how to edit my original comment.

Exactly what I was looking for to make CHIP a static HTTP file host for files on an external hard drive.

Found some typos I stumbled over at first, though:

In /etc/network/interfaces, “auto wan1” should be “auto wlan1”.

In /lib/systemd/system/hostapd-systemd.service, “” should be deleted.

Also: if you’d like anyone joining the network to connect to your CHIP no matter what address they enter (ie: if when they enter google.com you want them to hit nginx on the device), add this to /etc/dnsmasq.conf: “address=/#/192.168.2.1” (from http://serverfault.com/questions/351108/using-dnsmasq-to-resolve-all-hosts-to-the-same-address#351614)

In the [Unit] section the line:
ConditionPathExists=/etc/hostapd.conf
Should be:
ConditionPathExists=/etc/hostapd.conf

Then again it’s possible my browser is displaying wrongly.

Otherwise great tutorial I now have confidence I know everything I need to set up my next chip to run on headless+ssh+stand alone access point+python GPIO script+a service file to keep it running…

Can I install Doom or Doom II on that? I purchased Doom II on CD for Windows years ago but it stopped working when I upgraded to 64 bit.
