# PC/Laptop Support (BETA!)
An important new development for the ButterBox project is the ability to turn any Intel or AMD 64-bit PC into a ButterBox. In many places in the world, getting access to an official RaspberryPi is difficult and expensive. However, no matter where you are in the world, there seem to be plenty of "old", unloved, discarded PC towers and laptops.

The reach for it is about **510 meters** indoors, depending on the Raspberry Pi model and depending on walls and interference. Outdoors, in open space, it can sometimes reach farther. Think of it like the range of a home Wi-Fi router — enough to cover a classroom, a coffee shop, meeting space, or small outdoor gathering.

sidebar_position: 2

# F-Droid Repo
You can build your own curated F-Droid repo using your computer's
terminal. Once set up, users can connect their F-Droid app to your Butter
Box and start downloading apps.
### Step 1: Install F-Droid Server Tools
Before you begin, you need to install a tool called **fdroidserver**. This
helps you create and manage your app store.
**On Mac (using Homebrew):**
```
brew install fdroidserver
```
**On Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):**
```
sudo apt install fdroidserver
```
### Step 2: Check that it's installed correctly
After installation, run this command:
```
fdroid version
```
If everything is working, you will see a version number printed on the
screen.
### Step 3: Create Your Repo Folder
You need to create the folder where you will save the repo files in your
computer, choose a name that aligns with the project or purpose of the apps
in it, and replace my-fdroid-repo for that name in the command.
```
mkdir -p ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
```
cd ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
### Step 4: Initialize the repo
```
fdroid init
```
This creates the following directories in your repo file:
```
Config.yml
```
```
repo/
```
```
metadata/
```
### Step 5: Add your APKs
Copy your signed APKs into the repo/ folder. Ensure you only use apps from
trusted sources like the official F-Droid library or verified developers.
**Security Note:** Avoid downloading APKs from "mirror" sites or unknown sources, as they can contain malware or trackers that compromise your users' privacy.
```
cp /path/to/your/*.apk repo/
```
Example:
```
cp ~/Downloads/myapp.apk repo/
```
### Step 6: Generate (and Update) the Repository Index
Every time you add a new APK or a new version of an app to your repo/
folder, you must run the following command to "publish" those changes:
```
fdroid update --create-metadata
```
What this command does:
* **Scans APKs:** It reads the new files in your repo/ folder.
* **Generates Metadata:** It creates YAML files containing the app's name,
version, and permissions.
* **Creates index.v1.jar:** This is the "catalog" file that the F-Droid app
downloads to see what is available.
* **Signs the Repository:** It uses your secret key to sign the index,
proving to the Android app that the files haven't been tampered with.
### Step 7: Test your Repo locally
To test your repo locally and ensure everything works before you share it on
the Butter Box, you can serve its content locally and add it to F-Droid
using a URL.
```
cd repo
```
```
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
Once your repo is live, open the F-Droid app on your device and navigate to **Settings > Repositories > "+"**. Select **"Enter repository URL manually"** to add your new source.
Adding the repo manually allows you to verify the user experience by
checking:
* **App Visibility:** Are all your apps appearing in the list?
* **Visual Assets:** Are icons and screenshots displaying correctly?
* **Categorization:** Are apps appearing in the correct sections (e.g.,
Internet, Security)?
* **Functionality:** Do the downloads and installations complete without
errors?
* **Metadata:** Does the version number and description match your `repo/`
files?
Your repo will be available at:
`http://YOUR-IP:8000/repo`
**Find your IP:**
#### macOS:
```
ipconfig getifaddr en0
```
#### Linux:
```
hostname -I
```

# Apps
You can share apps as a content pack, via a static website. If you give a
folder the name `appstore` and place it in the root directory of the USB
drive, the **Apps** tile will appear in the Butter Box portal.
**Things To Know**
* If you are sharing apps from Butter Box, you will need to download the app
files you want to share. Apps are updated frequently. Be sure to manually
update all of the app files frequently to ensure you are providing the
highest security for the people who connect to the box.
* Youll need a copy of the apps `.apk` file — make sure its from a safe
and trusted source.
* Butter wont automatically verify the source, so it's up to you to
confirm it's clean and legal to share.
* How to get apk files: There are mobile apps you can use to get access to
apk files on an Android phone. Alternatively, you can download app files
directly from the developer's website.
### Go Further: Butter Box Supports Sharing Via F-Droid
Additionally, Butter Box supports app distribution via F-Droid. In your
content pack, you can include the F-Droid `.apk` and a QR code for your
repo. Anyone with access to the Box can then download the F-Droid app while
offline, and add the repo.
As long as they are connected to the Butter Box, they can download any of
the apps within your repo.
If they are connected to the internet later, they can receive app updates
from any apps in your repo that are also included in the official F-Droid
repo. If you update the apps in your repo, they will also have access to
those.
What is a F-Ddroid Repo?
* A hosted library of apps\ Why use it?
* It offers a secure process for sharing apps. The F-Droid team builds apps
in the official F-Droid repo from the source code themselves. This ensures
that the app you download exactly matches the code the developer
published.
* Users installing from F-Droid have access to app updates remotely (away
from the Butter Box)
Technical skills are required to create your own F-Droid repo. Refer to the
[F-Droid Repo](f-droid-repo) Section for instructions.

# Content Packs
You can create your own content pack! It simply needs to be set up as a **static website with local links**. This website will run from the box itself, so all of the images and files required for the website need to be contained within one main folder.

Tips for creating a content pack with a static website:
* **Contents.** Everything for the static website must be stored on a USB drive that plugs into the Butter Box. It should not link to resources on the global internet.
* **Size.** The size of your content pack is limited by the amount of space available on your USB drive. Though, keep in mind that if multiple people are downloading or watching really large files from the box, there may be some latency.
* **Pages.** Links between pages should point to other saved pages in the same folder, not to the internet. You must use relative paths (e.g. about/index.html) instead of absolute web URLs.
* **Media.** Pictures, videos, and sounds cannot be linked to from somewhere online. The files need to be in your website folder and stored on the USB drive.
* **Libraries.** The website cannot use javascript libraries that rely on an internet connection.
* **Styles.** Special fonts and icons (like those from Google Fonts) also need to be packed into the folder, not fetched from the web.

### How do you power a Butter Box?
The Butter Box is super flexible! You can power it using a USB power bank, a wall adapter, or even a small solar panel. As long as it provides power to the Raspberry Pi, youre good to go. Go to the [Power Supply](../build-a-box/power-supply) section to learn more.

### If Im powering the Butter Box with a solar panel, do I need a power bank?
A power bank isnt strictly required, but its highly recommended. Solar panels can be inconsistent — clouds, shade, or changing sunlight can interrupt power. A power bank helps smooth that out by storing energy and keeping the Butter Box running steadily, even when sunlight dips. Check it out this use case to know more: (insert use case URL)

Inexpensive physical port blockers can be used to reduce the risk of tampering with the Butter Box by preventing unauthorized access to exposed interfaces. These blockers limit the ability of bad actors to inject malicious code, connect unauthorized peripherals, or broadcast unwanted content. Ports are sealed with plastic blockers that can only be removed using a dedicated key included in the deployment kit.
2. Avoid exposing Ethernet ports unless required. Ethernet ports should remain disabled or physically blocked unless they are explicitly required for the deployment. When Ethernet access is necessary, its use should be clearly documented and limited to trusted operators.

# ПК/Ноутбук
# PC/Laptop Support (BETA!)
An important new development for the ButterBox project is the ability to
turn any Intel or AMD 64-bit PC into a ButterBox. In many places in the
world, getting access to an official RaspberryPi is difficult and
expensive. However, no matter where you are in the world, there seem to be
plenty of "old", unloved, discarded PC towers and laptops.
This page will help you bring new life to that old tech, by turning it into
the best kind of buttery local microserver, that even has a built-in
battery, screen and keyboard!
## Download the Image
Access to new images of ButterBox built for Intel/AMD64 devices are now
available IN EARLY BETA through our [development image distribution
site](https://files.sr2.uk/d/52bd8561a10d4d83be7b/?p=%2F&mode=list).
Download the latest image that beings with "amd64_butter_main_".
## How to Flash
This image can be flashed to a bootable USB drives, using
[balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io/).
1. Install balenaEtcher
2. Download the AMD64 image and unpack it (remove .tar and .gz with "unzip"
tool)
3. Select the image file in balenaEtcher
4. Plugin the USB flash drive
5. Select the drive in balenaEtcher
6. Flash!
## How to Boot Up
Once the USB drive is flashed, you can now use it to boot up ButterBox on
your old PC.
1. Boot your old PC into the "BIOS" screen. Make sure it is configured to
allow for booting from the USB drive, before it boots the internal hard
drive.
2. Shutdown the PC.
3. Plug in the USB drive to the PC
4. Start the PC, and make sure it boots from the USB drive.
5. Wait for the login terminal to appear!
## How to Access
Once the ButterBox PC is booted up, and plugged into a local router, it
should be ready to access!
Connect your personal device to the same network, and try to access
[http://butterbox.local](http://butterbox.local)
## Differences from RaspberryPi edition
There are some important differences between ButterBox on PC versus on
RaspberryPi
- There is no built-in wifi hotspot. You must plug it into a dedicated wifi
router or network.
- You can easily access the terminal "root" user to update and configured
(with great power, comes great responsibility!)

Базовая конфигурация Butter Box — это Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W с картой microSD, на которой установлено программное обеспечение Butter, USB-накопитель и питание от USB-источника, такого как блок питания, power bank или солнечная панель.
Базовая конфигурация Butter Box — это Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W с картой
microSD, на которой установлено программное обеспечение Butter,
USB-накопитель и питание от USB-источника, такого как блок питания, power
bank или солнечная панель.
В большинстве таких конфигураций Butter Box может комфортно обслуживать **от 4 до 10 подключённых устройств одновременно** без замедления. Возможно подключить и больше, но производительность может снизиться, если все одновременно загружают большие файлы или видео.
In most setups like this, a Butter Box can comfortably handle **410
connected devices at once** without slowing down. Its possible to have
more, but performance may drop if everyone is downloading large files or
videos at the same time.
Радиус действия составляет около **510 метров** в помещении, в зависимости от модели Raspberry Pi, а также от стен и помех. На открытом воздухе, на открытом пространстве, он иногда может быть больше. Представьте себе радиус действия домашнего Wi-Fi роутера — достаточно, чтобы покрыть класс, кафе, переговорную комнату или небольшое мероприятие на открытом воздухе.
The reach for it is about **510 meters** indoors, depending on the
Raspberry Pi model and depending on walls and interference. Outdoors, in
open space, it can sometimes reach farther. Think of it like the range of a
home Wi-Fi router — enough to cover a classroom, a coffee shop, meeting
space, or small outdoor gathering.

Butter Box с увеличенным радиусом действия объединяет Raspberry Pi с
отдельным Wi-Fi маршрутизатором, обеспечивая более сильный сигнал и большее
количество одновременных подключений.
С маршрутизатором сеть может охватывать 10-30 м и комфортно поддерживать 1020 подключённых устройств одновременно. Эта конфигурация идеально подходит для средней группы людей в помещении среднего размера, например, в учебных классах, на мероприятиях или в общественных пространствах.
With the router, the network can reach 10-30 m (32-98 feet),and can
comfortably support 1020 connected devices at the same time. This setup is
ideal for a medium group of people in a medium room, like classrooms,
events, or community spaces.

# Источник питания
Если вы хотите, чтобы Butter Box работал полностью автономно и без
электричества — это возможно! Butter Box может работать от розетки, от
предварительно заряженного аккумулятора или от аккумулятора с солнечной
панелью.
* **Розетка:** Официальный и рекомендуемый блок питания для компьютеров
Raspberry Pi (зависит от используемой модели Raspberry Pi)
* **Предварительно заряженный аккумулятор (Power Bank):** Это наиболее
распространённый вариант для использования в полевых условиях.
* Портативное зарядное устройство Anker [power
bank](https://www.ozon.ru/product/zaryadnoe-ustroystvo-anker-nano-charger-45w-chernyy-a2692l11-3298658513/),
* **Солнечная панель (с Power Bank):** Используйте небольшую солнечную
панель для подзарядки вашего power bank. Это хороший вариант для
непрерывной работы устройства в местах без электросети. Использование
солнечной панели напрямую без аккумулятора возможно, но нестабильно при
переменной облачности.

# Use Cases
# Примеры использования
### 1. Digital Security training to distribute apps and materials
### 1. Тренинги по цифровой безопасности для распространения приложений и материалов
> Лидеры из стран Южной Африки путешествуют для проведения тренингов, аудитов и консультаций для организаций по вопросам цифровой безопасности, физической безопасности, оценки рисков, а также для оснащения журналистов, активистов и правозащитников инструментами и знаниями для более безопасного выполнения их работы. Для эффективной работы этим лидерам необходима возможность подбирать определённые типы контента для различных сценариев использования, в разных контекстах и на разных языках и в разных форматах. В офлайн-ситуациях (отключения электричества, отсутствие доступа к интернету или во время отключений интернета) возможность успешно проводить тренинги и доставлять контент становится практически невозможной. \
> Leaders from Southern Africa countries travel to provide training, audits, and consultations to organizations about digital security, physical safety, risk assessments, and to equip journalists, activists and human rights defenders with the tools and knowledge to do their job safer. In order to do their work effectively, these leaders need to be able to curate specific types of content to fit various use cases, in different contexts and languages and different formats. In offline situations (load shedding, no access to the internet or in times of internet shutdowns) the ability to successfully deliver trainings and content becomes almost impossible. \
> \
> Они неоднократно отмечали, что если бы у них не было Butter Box, некоторые сессии пришлось бы отменить.
> They shared more than a few times that if they did not have the Butter Box, some sessions would have been canceled.
### 2. Обмен файлами и резервное копирование медиа
### 2. Sharing & Media Backup
> Часто М. хочет поделиться музыкальными и видеофайлами, которые они загрузили на свой компьютер, с друзьями — но передача через кабели или Bluetooth — это мучение. Поэтому они настроили Butter Box со своей медиаколлекцией — музыкальные файлы, фильмы и фотографии. Они подключили его рядом с кухней, и теперь любой в их квартире может подключиться к Wi-Fi Butter и просматривать общую медиатеку. Интернет не нужен, и больше никаких поштучных передач файлов.
> Often M. wants to share music and movie files that theyve downloaded on their computer with their friends — but transferring with cables or Bluetooth is a pain. So they've set up a Butter Box with their media collection — music files, films and photos. They plugged it in near the kitchen, and now anyone in their apartment can connect to the Butter WiFi and browse a shared media library. No internet needed, and no more file-by-file transfers.
### 3. Временное хранение файлов
### 3. Temporary file storage
> На удалённом объекте без сотовой связи рабочим нужен был способ временно выгрузить большие файлы — например, фотографии объекта или документы — со своих телефонов. Используя локальную зашифрованную доску сообщений Butter Box, они отправляли файлы себе или коллегам на хранение. Файлы оставались на устройстве до их получения позже, даже без питания или сигнала.
> On a remote site with no cell service, workers needed a way to temporarily offload large files — like site photos or documents — from their phones. Using Butter Boxs local encrypted message board, they sent files to themselves or coworkers for safekeeping. Files stayed on the device until retrieved later, even without power or signal.

sidebar_position: 2

# F-Droid Repo
You can build your own curated F-Droid repo using your computer's
terminal. Once set up, users can connect their F-Droid app to your Butter
Box and start downloading apps.
### Step 1: Install F-Droid Server Tools
Before you begin, you need to install a tool called **fdroidserver**. This
helps you create and manage your app store.
**On Mac (using Homebrew):**
```
brew install fdroidserver
```
**On Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):**
```
sudo apt install fdroidserver
```
### Step 2: Check that it's installed correctly
After installation, run this command:
```
fdroid version
```
If everything is working, you will see a version number printed on the
screen.
### Step 3: Create Your Repo Folder
You need to create the folder where you will save the repo files in your
computer, choose a name that aligns with the project or purpose of the apps
in it, and replace my-fdroid-repo for that name in the command.
```
mkdir -p ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
```
cd ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
### Step 4: Initialize the repo
```
fdroid init
```
This creates the following directories in your repo file:
```
Config.yml
```
```
repo/
```
```
metadata/
```
### Step 5: Add your APKs
Copy your signed APKs into the repo/ folder. Ensure you only use apps from
trusted sources like the official F-Droid library or verified developers.
**Security Note:** Avoid downloading APKs from "mirror" sites or unknown sources, as they can contain malware or trackers that compromise your users' privacy.
```
cp /path/to/your/*.apk repo/
```
Example:
```
cp ~/Downloads/myapp.apk repo/
```
### Step 6: Generate (and Update) the Repository Index
Every time you add a new APK or a new version of an app to your repo/
folder, you must run the following command to "publish" those changes:
```
fdroid update --create-metadata
```
What this command does:
* **Scans APKs:** It reads the new files in your repo/ folder.
* **Generates Metadata:** It creates YAML files containing the app's name,
version, and permissions.
* **Creates index.v1.jar:** This is the "catalog" file that the F-Droid app
downloads to see what is available.
* **Signs the Repository:** It uses your secret key to sign the index,
proving to the Android app that the files haven't been tampered with.
### Step 7: Test your Repo locally
To test your repo locally and ensure everything works before you share it on
the Butter Box, you can serve its content locally and add it to F-Droid
using a URL.
```
cd repo
```
```
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
Once your repo is live, open the F-Droid app on your device and navigate to **Settings > Repositories > "+"**. Select **"Enter repository URL manually"** to add your new source.
Adding the repo manually allows you to verify the user experience by
checking:
* **App Visibility:** Are all your apps appearing in the list?
* **Visual Assets:** Are icons and screenshots displaying correctly?
* **Categorization:** Are apps appearing in the correct sections (e.g.,
Internet, Security)?
* **Functionality:** Do the downloads and installations complete without
errors?
* **Metadata:** Does the version number and description match your `repo/`
files?
Your repo will be available at:
`http://YOUR-IP:8000/repo`
**Find your IP:**
#### macOS:
```
ipconfig getifaddr en0
```
#### Linux:
```
hostname -I
```

# Apps
You can share apps as a content pack, via a static website. If you give a
folder the name `appstore` and place it in the root directory of the USB
drive, the **Apps** tile will appear in the Butter Box portal.
**Things To Know**
* If you are sharing apps from Butter Box, you will need to download the app
files you want to share. Apps are updated frequently. Be sure to manually
update all of the app files frequently to ensure you are providing the
highest security for the people who connect to the box.
* Youll need a copy of the apps `.apk` file — make sure its from a safe
and trusted source.
* Butter wont automatically verify the source, so it's up to you to
confirm it's clean and legal to share.
* How to get apk files: There are mobile apps you can use to get access to
apk files on an Android phone. Alternatively, you can download app files
directly from the developer's website.
### Go Further: Butter Box Supports Sharing Via F-Droid
Additionally, Butter Box supports app distribution via F-Droid. In your
content pack, you can include the F-Droid `.apk` and a QR code for your
repo. Anyone with access to the Box can then download the F-Droid app while
offline, and add the repo.
As long as they are connected to the Butter Box, they can download any of
the apps within your repo.
If they are connected to the internet later, they can receive app updates
from any apps in your repo that are also included in the official F-Droid
repo. If you update the apps in your repo, they will also have access to
those.
What is a F-Ddroid Repo?
* A hosted library of apps\ Why use it?
* It offers a secure process for sharing apps. The F-Droid team builds apps
in the official F-Droid repo from the source code themselves. This ensures
that the app you download exactly matches the code the developer
published.
* Users installing from F-Droid have access to app updates remotely (away
from the Butter Box)
Technical skills are required to create your own F-Droid repo. Refer to the
[F-Droid Repo](f-droid-repo) Section for instructions.

пользователи получают доступ к порталу Butter Box.
Советы по созданию набора контента со статическим сайтом:
* **Содержимое.** Всё для статического сайта должно храниться на USB-накопителе, подключённом к Butter Box. Сайт не должен ссылаться на ресурсы в глобальном интернете.
* **Размер.** Размер вашего набора контента ограничен доступным пространством на USB-накопителе. При этом учитывайте, что если несколько человек одновременно скачивают или просматривают очень большие файлы с устройства, возможны задержки.
* **Страницы.** Ссылки между страницами должны вести на другие сохранённые страницы в той же папке, а не в интернет. Необходимо использовать относительные пути (например, about/index.html) вместо абсолютных веб-URL.
* **Медиа.** Изображения, видео и звуки не могут ссылаться на онлайн-ресурсы. Файлы должны находиться в папке вашего сайта и храниться на USB-накопителе.
* **Библиотеки.** Сайт не может использовать JavaScript-библиотеки, которые зависят от интернет-соединения.
* **Стили.** Специальные шрифты и иконки (например, из Google Fonts) также должны находиться в папке, а не загружаться из сети.

После подключения USB-накопителя к Raspberry Pi вы увидите заголовок «Обзор USB» на портале. Если вы обновили страницу портала и по-прежнему не видите иконку «Обзор USB», возможно, вам нужно стереть данные с USB-накопителя и переформатировать его.
After connecting your USB drive to the Raspberry Pi you will see the
“Explore USB” title displayed on the portal. If youve tried refreshing your
portal page and still do not see the “Explore USB” tile then you may need to
erase your USB stick and reformat it.

Когда вы форматируете USB-накопитель, все файлы и папки на нём удаляются и заменяются новой файловой системой. Это может помочь устранить проблемы с самим накопителем или сделать его совместимым с новыми файлами, которые вы хотите перенести. Обязательно сделайте резервную копию файлов перед форматированием накопителя.

# Часто задаваемые вопросы
### Предоставляет ли Butter Box доступ к интернету?
Не совсем. Butter Box не обеспечивает доступ к интернету. Вместо этого он создаёт собственную локальную сеть Wi-Fi, которая позволяет получить доступ к приложениям, контенту (предварительно загруженному) и функциям доски сообщений в офлайн-режиме. Всё хранится и передаётся локально — подключение к интернету или передача данных не требуется.
Not quite. The Butter Box doesnt provide internet access. Instead, it
creates its own local Wi-Fi network that lets you access apps, content
(previously set up), and message board features offline . Everything is
stored and shared locally — no internet or data connection needed.
***
### Как запитать Butter Box?
Butter Box очень гибок в плане питания! Вы можете подключить его к USB-повербанку, сетевому адаптеру или даже к небольшой солнечной панели. Главное, чтобы источник обеспечивал питание Raspberry Pi. Перейдите в раздел [Блок питания](../build-a-box/power-supply.mdx), чтобы узнать больше.
The Butter Box is super flexible! You can power it using a USB power bank, a
wall adapter, or even a small solar panel. As long as it provides power to
the Raspberry Pi, youre good to go. Go to the [Power
Supply](../build-a-box/power-supply) section to learn more.
***
### Если я подключаю Butter Box к солнечной панели, нужен ли мне повербанк?
### If Im powering the Butter Box with a solar panel, do I need a power bank?
Повербанк не обязателен, но настоятельно рекомендуется. Солнечные панели могут работать нестабильно — облака, тень или изменение освещённости могут прервать питание. Повербанк помогает сгладить это, накапливая энергию и обеспечивая стабильную работу Butter Box, даже когда солнечный свет ослабевает. Ознакомьтесь с этим примером использования, чтобы узнать больше: (вставьте URL примера использования)
A power bank isnt strictly required, but its highly recommended. Solar
panels can be inconsistent — clouds, shade, or changing sunlight can
interrupt power. A power bank helps smooth that out by storing energy and
keeping the Butter Box running steadily, even when sunlight dips. Check it
out this use case to know more: (insert use case URL)
***
### Какие функции безопасности есть у Butter Box? Можно ли установить на него пароль?
В настоящее время Butter Box транслирует открытую сеть Wi-Fi — это означает, что для подключения пароль не требуется. Это упрощает подключение для находящихся рядом людей, особенно в оффлайн-средах или в условиях сообщества.
Currently, the Butter Box broadcasts an open Wi-Fi network — that means no
password is required to connect. This makes it easy for people nearby to
join, especially in offline or community settings.
Однако пользователи должны либо ввести локальный IP-адрес или адрес Butter Box вручную, либо отсканировать QR-код для доступа к контенту. Поскольку всё работает оффлайн, нет риска воздействия интернета или внешних угроз.
However, users must either enter the Butter Boxs local IP address manually,
or scan a QR code that takes them directly to the content. Since its all
offline, theres no exposure to the internet or external threats.
Вы можете настроить Wi-Fi Raspberry Pi на требование пароля в настройках администратора. Обратитесь к разделу [Безопасность](../security.mdx) для получения информации о дополнительных функциях безопасности.

администратора. Обратитесь к разделу [Безопасность](../security.mdx) для
получения информации о дополнительных функциях безопасности.
***
### Какой объём хранилища у Butter Box?
Объём хранилища Butter Box определяется установленной картой microSD — у него нет фиксированной встроенной памяти. Вы можете выбрать карту от 16 ГБ до 1 ТБ (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W поддерживает карты microSD такого размера). Мы рекомендуем 256 ГБ.
The Butter Box storage capacity is defined by the microSD card you install —
it doesnt have fixed built-in memory. You can choose anything from a 16GB
card up to 1TB (the Raspberry Pi Zero2W supports microSD sizes up to
that). We recommend 256 GB.
| Сценарий использования | Рекомендуемый размер micro SD |
| ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Базовая настройка (приложения + доска сообщений) | 16 ГБ 32 ГБ |
| Дополнительный контент или хранение медиа | 64 ГБ 128 ГБ |
| Работа с большими контент-пакетами или файлами | 256 ГБ и более, до 1 ТБ |
| Use Case | Suggested micro SD Size |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Basic setup (apps + message board) | 16GB 32GB |
| Additional content or media storage | 64GB 128GB |
| Handling large content packs or files | 256GB or more, up to 1TB |
***
### Можно ли его настроить?
Безусловно! Вы можете добавить, например, свой собственный контент — поместить PDF-файлы, видео, изображения и HTML-страницы для создания локальной библиотеки, или добавить свои приложения — включая APK-файлы для Android (даже если их нет на F-Droid).
Absolutely! You can add, for example, your own content - dropping in PDFs,
videos, images, and HTML pages to build a local library, or add your own
apps - including Android APKs (even if theyre not on F-Droid).
***
### Мой USB-накопитель подключён к Butter Box, но контент не отображается на портале. Почему?
Вероятно, ваш USB-накопитель имеет неправильный формат. USB-накопитель должен быть отформатирован в ExFat, Fat32, MS-DOS (FAT). Обратитесь к разделу [Переформатирование USB-накопителя](how-to-reformat-your-usb-drive.mdx) для помощи.

#### Управление питанием и портами
Рекомендации:
1. Отключите или физически заблокируйте неиспользуемые порты (USB, HDMI). Недорогие физические блокираторы портов могут использоваться для снижения риска взлома Butter Box путём предотвращения несанкционированного доступа к открытым интерфейсам. Эти блокираторы ограничивают возможность злоумышленников внедрять вредоносный код, подключать несанкционированные периферийные устройства или транслировать нежелательный контент. Порты запечатываются пластиковыми блокираторами, которые можно снять только с помощью специального ключа, входящего в комплект развёртывания.
2. Избегайте открытия Ethernet-портов, если это не требуется. Ethernet-порты должны оставаться отключёнными или физически заблокированными, если они явно не требуются для развёртывания. Когда доступ через Ethernet необходим, его использование должно быть чётко задокументировано и ограничено доверенными операторами.

If youd like more control over how your content is displayed, you can build
a **static website** and share it through the Butter Box. Learn more in the
[Content Packs](../content-packs/) section.
### Add files to your USB Drive
Place individual files directly in the **main directory** (root) of your USB
drive. Or, create folders to organize your files (eg. "Books", "Music",
"Reports)

# Local Chat
There is one local chat on your Butter Box that is open to anyone who is
able to join the box. If they can open the portal, they can open the chat
and say or post anything they want. Depending on your use case, moderation
capabilities may be important.
First, let's look at what you can and can't do with this local chat.
✅ **You Can**<br/>
* Host videos up to 5 GB PDFs, images, record, audio messages, share
pre-recorded audio messages or music
* Download the full chat or any individual piece of content or media that
people have shared
❌ **You Cannot**<br/>
* Use the chat to talk with people who are not connected to the Butter Box
* Get notifications when there are new posts or messages
* See the messages unless you are connected to the Butter Box
## Moderation
A Butter Box offers moderation features for the local chat. In order to
access these features, you need to login as the admin of the room.
### Become the Admin
### Logout as Guest
When you open the local chat, you are assigned a guest identity. First
logout of the account that was created for you.
### Login as Admin
Login to the `butterbox-admin` account. Username and password are both
`butterbox-admin`.
### Change Admin Password
Visit your user profile to change the password. At your discretion, you may
also wish to change your display name so that other users will recognize
you.
### Moderation Features
Once you are an admin, you have access to the following features:
* **Set a message timer**
* **Delete messages**
* **Promote members to moderator or admin**
* **Kick members out.**
* Keep in mind that someone can simply rejoin as a new guest if they
reconnect to the box
* **Delete the room.**
* Warning: If you delete the room, you will no longer have a local chat on
your Butter Box. To get one back, you will have to flash a new image of
the Butter Box software to your SD card.
## Say Even More—Direct Messages and Private Rooms
In addition to the local chat, you can create any number of private rooms
from the same interface.
### Things To Know
* Each room will have it's own QR code.
* Private rooms are not discoverable from the Butter Box portal.
* If you create a private room, you have to share the QR code physically to
whomever you want to join **who is also connected to the box.**
* Every private chat that you are part of, will be easy for **you** to
find. They will all show up in your room list.
### Instructions
You can create a private room from two different places in the message board
interface.
### Open from Avatar Modal
Tap on your avatar in the top bar. Select **new room.**
| <img src="/img/docs/image.png" alt="" data-size="original"/> | |

# Private Messenger
With the Private Messenger service, you can exchange secure messages with
people you know. [Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/) is a messaging app that
uses email protocols to exchange messages. When used through a Butter Box,
people who create accounts on the same Butter Box can send messages to each
other without the internet.
Think of the Butter Box like a local post office. Whenever you connect to
the Boxs network, your Delta Chat app can send outgoing messages and sync
to receive any new ones waiting for you.

# PC/Laptop Support (BETA!)
An important new development for the ButterBox project is the ability to
turn any Intel or AMD 64-bit PC into a ButterBox. In many places in the
world, getting access to an official RaspberryPi is difficult and
expensive. However, no matter where you are in the world, there seem to be
plenty of "old", unloved, discarded PC towers and laptops.
This page will help you bring new life to that old tech, by turning it into
the best kind of buttery local microserver, that even has a built-in
battery, screen and keyboard!
## Download the Image
Access to new images of ButterBox built for Intel/AMD64 devices are now
available IN EARLY BETA through our [development image distribution
site](https://files.sr2.uk/d/52bd8561a10d4d83be7b/?p=%2F&mode=list).
Download the latest image that beings with "amd64_butter_main_".
## How to Flash
This image can be flashed to a bootable USB drives, using
[balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io/).
1. Install balenaEtcher
2. Download the AMD64 image and unpack it (remove .tar and .gz with "unzip"
tool)
3. Select the image file in balenaEtcher
4. Plugin the USB flash drive
5. Select the drive in balenaEtcher
6. Flash!
## How to Boot Up
Once the USB drive is flashed, you can now use it to boot up ButterBox on
your old PC.
1. Boot your old PC into the "BIOS" screen. Make sure it is configured to
allow for booting from the USB drive, before it boots the internal hard
drive.
2. Shutdown the PC.
3. Plug in the USB drive to the PC
4. Start the PC, and make sure it boots from the USB drive.
5. Wait for the login terminal to appear!
## How to Access
Once the ButterBox PC is booted up, and plugged into a local router, it
should be ready to access!
Connect your personal device to the same network, and try to access
[http://butterbox.local](http://butterbox.local)
## Differences from RaspberryPi edition
There are some important differences between ButterBox on PC versus on
RaspberryPi
- There is no built-in wifi hotspot. You must plug it into a dedicated wifi
router or network.
- You can easily access the terminal "root" user to update and configured
(with great power, comes great responsibility!)

# Power Supply
If you want Butter to work completely off-grid and without electricity, it
can! Butter Boxes can be powered by a wall outlet, pre-charged battery pack
or solar powered battery pack.
* **Wall Outlet:** The official and recommended power supply for Raspberry
Pi computers (depends of the Raspberry Pi model that you are using)
* **Pre-charged Battery Pack (Power Bank):** This is the most common option
for field use.
* Anker portable charger [power
bank](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-PowerCore-High-Speed-Charging/dp/B09VXF29RM/ref=sr_1_6?crid=30EJM6E540GE6\&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cMM86su3KXjp8lN7z7mvmL1HERSowjwoegVu1E_8xhH-Pl38rDD2hEv21fVqk-w2eogpdZGsfiLn_V8ij-PvaRw3RDBdv9-NTKTFqGOUj6IZJKMdbeUjGkgBFVFdZvyOkBFF6kau0uJIE-rRQyseWiNNPxZwan-29xuz2_f643gTOfOzERBuVK2cDdpm91rPdVsRl3dKy6iR1K7qkYW5YGTtYpaZWriYGWOovD2CcVA.SogXwrCYRlPyAkf0wzwye8_-ZdVw-Fi0EcM5vcr7ESk\&dib_tag=se\&keywords=anker%2Bpower%2Bbank%2Bbattery%2Bpack%2Bwhite\&qid=1756265405\&sprefix=anker%2Bpower%2Bbank%2Bbattery%2Bpack%2Bwhit%2Caps%2C154\&sr=8-6\&th=1)
* **Solar Panel (with Power Bank):** Use a small solar panel to recharge
your power bank. This is a good option to keep the box running
continuously in off-grid locations. Using direct solar panel without a
battery is possible, but unstable if the sun dips in/out.
* Solar panel kits:

# Basic Box Supplies
A basic Butter Box setup is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with a microSD card
running the Butter software, a USB stick, powered by a USB source like a
power cord, power bank or solar panel.
In most setups like this, a Butter Box can comfortably handle **410
connected devices at once** without slowing down. Its possible to have
more, but performance may drop if everyone is downloading large files or
videos at the same time.
The reach for it is about **510 meters** indoors, depending on the
Raspberry Pi model and depending on walls and interference. Outdoors, in
open space, it can sometimes reach farther. Think of it like the range of a
home Wi-Fi router — enough to cover a classroom, a coffee shop, meeting
space, or small outdoor gathering.
## Supplies
* [ ] Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (64 Bit)
[https://www.adafruit.com/product/5291](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5291);
Or you can buy a kit here: [\
https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w.html](https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w.html)
* [ ] Power outlet and power cord that accompanies the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W
or an [alternative power supply](../power-supply)
* [ ] Micro SD Card: Images with the Butter software are usually under 16 GB
(we suggest 256 GB). Media that people upload to the chat ends up on the
card; it never gets cleared.
* [ ] USB drive (min 32 GB)
* [ ] Adapters (as needed)
* [ ] Micro USB/Male to USB A/Female
* [ ] A dongle to connect the micro SD card to your laptop (if needed)
**Once you have your supplies, continue in the Install Butter section.**

# Extend Your Box
An extended Butter Box pairs the Raspberry Pi with a standalone Wi-Fi
router, giving stronger signal and more simultaneous connections.
With the router, the network can reach 10-30 m (32-98 feet),and can
comfortably support 1020 connected devices at the same time. This setup is
ideal for a medium group of people in a medium room, like classrooms,
events, or community spaces.
## Supplies
* [ ] Raspberry Pi 4, 5 or Raspberry Pi Zero 2W
* [ ] Router ([Opal (GL-SFT1200) Wireless Travel
Router](https://store-us.gl-inet.com/products/united-states-opal-gl-sft1200-gigabit-wireless-router-dual-band-openwrt-ipv6-tor)
or equivilent)
* [ ] Power outlet and power cords that accompany the Raspberry Pi and the
Router or an [alternative power supply](../power-supply)
* [ ] Micro SD Card: Images with the Butter software are usually under 16 GB
(we suggest 256 GB). Media that people upload to the chat ends up on the
card; it never gets cleared.
* [ ] USB Drive (min 32 GB)
* [ ] Adapters (as needed)
_No internet connection is required._
<figure><img src="/img/docs/20250815_142438.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
## Steps
To extend your box, you simply connect a GLi-Net router to the Butter Box
with an ethernet cable. Instead of accessing the box from the portal Wi-Fi
hotspot (eg. 'butter box' or whichever name you set in the admin settings),
users will join the Wi-Fi network of the router.
### Connect the Butter Box to its power supply.
Connect the Butter Box to power.
### Connect Router
Connect the router to power. Then use the ethernet cable to connect to the
Butter Box. Make sure to plug the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on your
router.
### Test Your Connection
Join the router Wi-Fi. If you have not setup or used this router before,
enter the default password found in the user guide included in the
package. After 30 seconds, open http://butterbox.local in a browser.
### Disable Butter Box Wi-Fi Access Point
Open the admin settings from the Butter Box portal. Navigate to **Secure
Portal**. Turn off the Wi-Fi access point. This will hide the Wi-Fi network
that broadcasts from the raspberry pi, so that users dont get confused
about which network to join.
### Invite Users to Join the Router Wi-Fi
Users will now join the Wi-Fi network of the router when they want to
connect to the Butter Box.

# Use Cases
### 1. Digital Security training to distribute apps and materials
> Leaders from Southern Africa countries travel to provide training, audits, and consultations to organizations about digital security, physical safety, risk assessments, and to equip journalists, activists and human rights defenders with the tools and knowledge to do their job safer. In order to do their work effectively, these leaders need to be able to curate specific types of content to fit various use cases, in different contexts and languages and different formats. In offline situations (load shedding, no access to the internet or in times of internet shutdowns) the ability to successfully deliver trainings and content becomes almost impossible. \
> \
> They shared more than a few times that if they did not have the Butter Box, some sessions would have been canceled.
### 2. Sharing & Media Backup
> Often M. wants to share music and movie files that theyve downloaded on their computer with their friends — but transferring with cables or Bluetooth is a pain. So they've set up a Butter Box with their media collection — music files, films and photos. They plugged it in near the kitchen, and now anyone in their apartment can connect to the Butter WiFi and browse a shared media library. No internet needed, and no more file-by-file transfers.
### 3. Temporary file storage
> On a remote site with no cell service, workers needed a way to temporarily offload large files — like site photos or documents — from their phones. Using Butter Boxs local encrypted message board, they sent files to themselves or coworkers for safekeeping. Files stayed on the device until retrieved later, even without power or signal.

sidebar_position: 2

# F-Droid Repo
You can build your own curated F-Droid repo using your computer's
terminal. Once set up, users can connect their F-Droid app to your Butter
Box and start downloading apps.
### Step 1: Install F-Droid Server Tools
Before you begin, you need to install a tool called **fdroidserver**. This
helps you create and manage your app store.
**On Mac (using Homebrew):**
```
brew install fdroidserver
```
**On Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):**
```
sudo apt install fdroidserver
```
### Step 2: Check that it's installed correctly
After installation, run this command:
```
fdroid version
```
If everything is working, you will see a version number printed on the
screen.
### Step 3: Create Your Repo Folder
You need to create the folder where you will save the repo files in your
computer, choose a name that aligns with the project or purpose of the apps
in it, and replace my-fdroid-repo for that name in the command.
```
mkdir -p ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
```
cd ~/my-fdroid-repo
```
### Step 4: Initialize the repo
```
fdroid init
```
This creates the following directories in your repo file:
```
Config.yml
```
```
repo/
```
```
metadata/
```
### Step 5: Add your APKs
Copy your signed APKs into the repo/ folder. Ensure you only use apps from
trusted sources like the official F-Droid library or verified developers.
**Security Note:** Avoid downloading APKs from "mirror" sites or unknown sources, as they can contain malware or trackers that compromise your users' privacy.
```
cp /path/to/your/*.apk repo/
```
Example:
```
cp ~/Downloads/myapp.apk repo/
```
### Step 6: Generate (and Update) the Repository Index
Every time you add a new APK or a new version of an app to your repo/
folder, you must run the following command to "publish" those changes:
```
fdroid update --create-metadata
```
What this command does:
* **Scans APKs:** It reads the new files in your repo/ folder.
* **Generates Metadata:** It creates YAML files containing the app's name,
version, and permissions.
* **Creates index.v1.jar:** This is the "catalog" file that the F-Droid app
downloads to see what is available.
* **Signs the Repository:** It uses your secret key to sign the index,
proving to the Android app that the files haven't been tampered with.
### Step 7: Test your Repo locally
To test your repo locally and ensure everything works before you share it on
the Butter Box, you can serve its content locally and add it to F-Droid
using a URL.
```
cd repo
```
```
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
Once your repo is live, open the F-Droid app on your device and navigate to **Settings > Repositories > "+"**. Select **"Enter repository URL manually"** to add your new source.
Adding the repo manually allows you to verify the user experience by
checking:
* **App Visibility:** Are all your apps appearing in the list?
* **Visual Assets:** Are icons and screenshots displaying correctly?
* **Categorization:** Are apps appearing in the correct sections (e.g.,
Internet, Security)?
* **Functionality:** Do the downloads and installations complete without
errors?
* **Metadata:** Does the version number and description match your `repo/`
files?
Your repo will be available at:
`http://YOUR-IP:8000/repo`
**Find your IP:**
#### macOS:
```
ipconfig getifaddr en0
```
#### Linux:
```
hostname -I

# Apps
You can share apps as a content pack, via a static website. If you give a
folder the name `appstore` and place it in the root directory of the USB
drive, the **Apps** tile will appear in the Butter Box portal.
**Things To Know**
* If you are sharing apps from Butter Box, you will need to download the app
files you want to share. Apps are updated frequently. Be sure to manually
update all of the app files frequently to ensure you are providing the
highest security for the people who connect to the box.
* Youll need a copy of the apps `.apk` file — make sure its from a safe
and trusted source.
* Butter wont automatically verify the source, so it's up to you to
confirm it's clean and legal to share.
* How to get apk files: There are mobile apps you can use to get access to
apk files on an Android phone. Alternatively, you can download app files
directly from the developer's website.
### Go Further: Butter Box Supports Sharing Via F-Droid
Additionally, Butter Box supports app distribution via F-Droid. In your
content pack, you can include the F-Droid `.apk` and a QR code for your
repo. Anyone with access to the Box can then download the F-Droid app while
offline, and add the repo.
As long as they are connected to the Butter Box, they can download any of
the apps within your repo.
If they are connected to the internet later, they can receive app updates
from any apps in your repo that are also included in the official F-Droid
repo. If you update the apps in your repo, they will also have access to
those.
What is a F-Ddroid Repo?
* A hosted library of apps\ Why use it?
* It offers a secure process for sharing apps. The F-Droid team builds apps
in the official F-Droid repo from the source code themselves. This ensures
that the app you download exactly matches the code the developer
published.
* Users installing from F-Droid have access to app updates remotely (away
from the Butter Box)
Technical skills are required to create your own F-Droid repo. Refer to the
[F-Droid Repo](f-droid-repo) Section for instructions.

# Content Packs
You can create your own content pack! It simply needs to be set up as a
**static website with local links**. This website will run from the box
itself, so all of the images and files required for the website need to be
contained within one main folder.
Once you have your static website ready, you will put all of the required
files for it in one folder, and place this folder in the **root directory**
of your USB drive. This website will be rendered in the browser people use
to access the Butter Box portal.
Tips for creating a content pack with a static website:
* **Contents.** Everything for the static website must be stored on a USB
drive that plugs into the Butter Box. It should not link to resources on
the global internet.
* **Size.** The size of your content pack is limited by the amount of space
available on your USB drive. Though, keep in mind that if multiple people
are downloading or watching really large files from the box, there may be
some latency.
* **Pages.** Links between pages should point to other saved pages in the
same folder, not to the internet. You must use relative paths
(e.g. about/index.html) instead of absolute web URLs.
* **Media.** Pictures, videos, and sounds cannot be linked to from somewhere
online. The files need to be in your website folder and stored on the USB
drive.
* **Libraries.** The website cannot use javascript libraries that rely on an
internet connection.
* **Styles.** Special fonts and icons (like those from Google Fonts) also
need to be packed into the folder, not fetched from the web.
### Try It
* The zip file below contains a sample static website. To get a feel for how
static websites work with butter—Download it. Unzip it. Then, add this set
of files to your USB drive.
[Sample Static Website.zip](/img/docs/Sample%20Static%20Website.zip)
You can also check out our [New Content Pack News](/docs/content-packs).
### Get Started
The best way to get started with creating your own content pack is to have
an idea about the experience and type of information you want to provide,
and then to design and build a local static website for it.
It can be very simple like an audio player for music. Or, a simple list of
the five top VPN apps that you recommend. Or it can be more complex like a
library or knowledge base of cultural artifacts.
### Add website files to a USB drive
Place a folder with your website files in the **root directory** of a USB
drive. Be sure that your website folder contains your **index.html.** The
name of this folder will be displayed on the Butter Box portal.
<figure><img src="/img/docs/Screenshot 2025-08-16 at 9.46.16 PM.png" alt=""/><figcaption><p>USB directory when viewed in Finder on desktop</p></figcaption></figure>
### Connect to your Butter Box to view

# How to Reformat Your USB Drive
After connecting your USB drive to the Raspberry Pi you will see the
“Explore USB” title displayed on the portal. If youve tried refreshing your
portal page and still do not see the “Explore USB” tile then you may need to
erase your USB stick and reformat it.
![](/img/docs/unknown.png)<br/>
When you format a USB drive, all files and folders on the drive are removed and replaced with a new file system. This can help repair any issues with the flash drive itself or make it compatible with new files you want to transfer. Be sure to back up your files before formatting your drive. <br/>
**Check the Format of the USB**
* On your desktop or laptop, plug in your USB
* Right, or double-click on the USB
* Click on “Get info” and verify the Format
* Your USB needs to be formatted to ExFat or Fat32, MS-DOS (FAT).
**Reformatting Steps on MacOS:**
* Connect the USB drive to a USB port on your computer.
* Right, or double-click on the USB
* Click on “Erase Disk…”
* You can rename your USB at this time
* Select the correct format, either ExFat or ExFat32 or MS-DOS (FAT)
* Then tap “Erase”
* A message may appear warning you that all content will be deleted. Select
“Erase”
* This may take a few minutes. The USB will disappear and reappear on your
homescreen
* Verify the drive is correctly formatted
* Right, or double-click on the USB
* Click on “Get info” and verify the Format<br/>
**Reformatting Steps on Windows:**
* Connect the USB drive to a USB port on your computer.
* Open the File Explorer and select "This PC" from the menu.
* You can find this option in the left panel, next to a monitor
icon.[\[2\]](https://www.wikihow.com/Format-a-Flash-Drive#_note-2)
* On Windows 7, click Computer on the right side of the Start window.
* Right-click the flash drive's icon. It's beneath the "Devices and drives"
heading in the middle of the page. This will bring up a drop-down menu.
* Choose "Format". This will open the formatting window.
* Click on "File System" and choose the MS-DOS, FAT32, or exFAT format.
* [FAT32](https://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32) - The most widely compatible
format. Works with most computers and gaming consoles.
* exFAT - Similar to FAT32, but designed for external hard drives (e.g.,
flash drives) and quicker use. It's a universal format that is most common
across Windows, Linux, and Mac.
* Select "Start" and click "OK" to finish formatting your flash drive.
* A final prompt will appear, Click “OK”. Your flash drive has successfully
been formatted.<br/>

# FAQ
### Does the Butter Box give me the internet?
Not quite. The Butter Box doesnt provide internet access. Instead, it
creates its own local Wi-Fi network that lets you access apps, content
(previously set up), and message board features offline . Everything is
stored and shared locally — no internet or data connection needed.
***
### How do you power a Butter Box?
The Butter Box is super flexible! You can power it using a USB power bank, a
wall adapter, or even a small solar panel. As long as it provides power to
the Raspberry Pi, youre good to go. Go to the [Power
Supply](../build-a-box/power-supply) section to learn more.
***
### If Im powering the Butter Box with a solar panel, do I need a power bank?
A power bank isnt strictly required, but its highly recommended. Solar
panels can be inconsistent — clouds, shade, or changing sunlight can
interrupt power. A power bank helps smooth that out by storing energy and
keeping the Butter Box running steadily, even when sunlight dips. Check it
out this use case to know more: (insert use case URL)
***
### What are the security features of the Butter Box? Can I put a password on it?
Currently, the Butter Box broadcasts an open Wi-Fi network — that means no
password is required to connect. This makes it easy for people nearby to
join, especially in offline or community settings.
However, users must either enter the Butter Boxs local IP address manually,
or scan a QR code that takes them directly to the content. Since its all
offline, theres no exposure to the internet or external threats.
You can configure the Raspberry Pi to require a Wi-Fi password in the admin
settings. Refer to the [Security](../security) section for more security
features.
***
### How much storage does a Butter Box have?
The Butter Box storage capacity is defined by the microSD card you install —
it doesnt have fixed built-in memory. You can choose anything from a 16GB
card up to 1TB (the Raspberry Pi Zero2W supports microSD sizes up to
that). We recommend 256 GB.
| Use Case | Suggested micro SD Size |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Basic setup (apps + message board) | 16GB 32GB |
| Additional content or media storage | 64GB 128GB |
| Handling large content packs or files | 256GB or more, up to 1TB |
***
### Can I customize it?
Absolutely! You can add, for example, your own content - dropping in PDFs,
videos, images, and HTML pages to build a local library, or add your own
apps - including Android APKs (even if theyre not on F-Droid).
***
### My USB drive is plugged into the Butter Box, but the content is not displayed on the portal. Why?
Yout USB drive is probably in the wrong format. Your USB needs to be
formatted to ExFat, Fat32, MS-DOS (FAT). Refer to [Reformatting Your
USB](how-to-reformat-your-usb-drive) for help.

# Quick Start
If you have a Butter Box with the latest version of the Butter software
loaded on the SD card, take these quick steps to get set up.
### Check supplies
Make sure you have the supplies for a basic box:
* [ ] Power source
* [ ] USB drive
* [ ] USB Adapters (as needed)
* [ ] Butter Box Device (with micro SD card inserted)
* [ ] Case
<figure><img src="/img/docs/signal-2025-08-21-140334_003.jpeg" alt=""/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
### Make sure the micro SD card is inserted into the device
The micro SD card should have the latest version of Butter OS running on it.
### Plug it in to power on
Connect the power supply to the first micro USB port and correct wall
outlet.
<figure><img src="/img/docs/1.png" alt="" width="375"/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
You will know the box is working if butterbox wifi appears in the wifi
list on your phone or computer. If it doesnt, unplug the box and plug it
back in.
_If using a solar battery or other means of power, use one with the correct
specs to ensure adequate power and avoid damage to the unit. For a Pi Zero 2
W use Micro USB power supply with at least 2.0A._
[Link to Power Supply Options](build-a-box/power-supply)
### Insert USB drive
Connect the USB adapter to the open port. Then plug in the USB drive. Learn
more about loading the USB drive with treasures in the [File
Sharing](services/file-sharing) section.
<figure><img src="/img/docs/2.png" alt="" width="375"/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
### Access the Butter Box Portal
Join the butterbox Wi-Fi. After 30 seconds, scan the QR code on the
box. This connects you to **http://butterbox.local** in a browser.
[https://youtu.be/KB5O9MSoaAg](https://youtu.be/KB5O9MSoaAg)
<div align="center"><figure><img src="/img/docs/qr code.png" alt="" width="375"/><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
_If this page does not load, wait a few minutes to ensure
connectivity. Refresh the page. If youre connecting from a smartphone, turn
off your mobile data or turn on airplane mode. Then try again._
:::info
This is an HTTP page, not HTTPS, because it's served from a local device with no internet connection. Your data never leaves the network, so it's still private and secure.
:::
The Wi-Fi does not have a password by default. Though, you can easily add
one in the Admin Settings.
### Once connected, use Admin Settings to set up your box.
The admin setup wizard is designed to give you choice over which services
are offered on the box and to increase its security. You will be prompted to
go to Admin Settings if this is the first time you've used the box.
### Share access to the portal
Once you share with others, they will connect to it in the same way you just
did.
:::info
For a Pi Zero 2 W: Up to 5 people can connect to the box at any time. After people connect and get what they need, encourage them to leave the box to give others a turn.\
The physical reach of the Box varies. But as a rule of thumb, people in the same room as the box (or in talking distance) will be able to access it.

# Security
This guide was designed for deployments in hostile, semi-hostile, or
low-trust environments, where devices may be inspected, confiscated,
modified, or misused. It aims to provide practical recommendations to make
the Butter Box more physically and digitally tamper-resistant.
Following the recommendations in this guide will help reduce risk, not
guarantee absolute security. Butter Box is assumed to be a field-deployable,
low-cost, offline system, so these recommendations prioritize realistic,
maintainable protections.
**Threat Model Assumptions**
Before applying controls, clearly define your deployment context. This guide
assumes one or more of the following risks:
* Physical access by unauthorized users
* Device confiscation or inspection by authorities
* Curious or malicious local users
* Content manipulation or replacement
* Network misuse or impersonation
* Credential reuse or default configuration abuse
Remember that controls should adapt to the local risk level, over-hardening
can reduce usability and trust.
### Section 1: Physical Tamper Resistance
#### Enclosure and Hardware Protection
Physical access to the Butter Box allows SD card cloning, firmware
replacement, malware injection and broadcasting of malicious
information. PCB are also delicate and should have additional protection to
keep them safe from everyday handling and weather exposure.
Recommendations:
1. Use a sealed or semi-sealed enclosure (screws instead of snap-fit)
2. Prefer tamper-evident screws (Torx, security hex)
3. Apply tamper-evident stickers over enclosure seams and SD card slots
| 1) Sealed enclosures | 2) Screws |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| ![](/img/docs/unknown.jpeg) | ![](</img/docs/unknown_1.jpeg>) |
#### ![](</img/docs/void-tamper-evident seal.png>)
#### SD Card & Storage Protection
Recommendations:
1. Use high-quality SD cards to reduce corruption
2. Encrypt sensitive partitions (where feasible)
3. Keep content and OS separated (firmware vs content packs)
4. Avoid labeling SD cards with sensitive identifiers
Optional (higher risk contexts):
1. Epoxy Resin. Electronico potting solutions protect Printed Circuit
Boards from extreme temperatures, moisture, vibration, and other
environmental threats.
2. Physically block SD card removal
| Epoxy Resin | Epoxy Resin |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| ![](</img/docs/unknown_3.jpeg>) | ![](</img/docs/unknown_4<br/>.jpeg>) |
#### ![](</img/docs/unknown_5.jpeg>)
#### Power & Port Management
Recommendations:
1. Disable or physically block unused ports (USB, HDMI). Inexpensive
physical port blockers can be used to reduce the risk of tampering with
the Butter Box by preventing unauthorized access to exposed
interfaces. These blockers limit the ability of bad actors to inject
malicious code, connect unauthorized peripherals, or broadcast unwanted
content. Ports are sealed with plastic blockers that can only be removed
using a dedicated key included in the deployment kit.
2. Avoid exposing Ethernet ports unless required. Ethernet ports should
remain disabled or physically blocked unless they are explicitly required
for the deployment. When Ethernet access is necessary, its use should be
clearly documented and limited to trusted operators.
3. Use short internal cables to reduce easy probing
4. Label power banks generically (avoid project names)
| USB & HDMI | Ethernet Ports |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| ![](</img/docs/unknown_6.jpeg>) | ![](</img/docs/unknown_7.jpeg>) |
#### Environmental & Operational Practices
Recommendations:
* Store boxes in controlled locations when not in use
* Rotate devices periodically in long deployments
* Assume devices may be copied or lost
* Treat Butter Boxes as semi-disposable infrastructure, not personal
devices.
### Section 2: Digital Tamper Resistance
#### Credential Hygiene (Critical)
Mandatory actions:
SSH
* By default, the pi user has the password butterbox-admin.
* Change this password by sshing into the pi and running passwd.
* If you'd prefer to use an SSH key, be sure to disable password access once
you enable key-based access.
RaspAP
* The access point has an administrative interface that can be used to
change its settings.
* Defaults: user: admin, password: secret (ironically, this is not secret).
* Change this by logging in at
[http://butterbox.lan/admin](http://butterbox.lan/admin) (or
[http://comolamantequilla.lan/admin](http://comolamantequilla.lan/admin)
for a Spanish language box) and using the Web UI.
Chat
* The local chat was created by an administrative user called
butterbox-admin. The password for this user is also butterbox-admin.
* Change this password by logging into the Butter Box, going to the public
chatroom, then visiting your user profile and updating the password. At
your discretion, you may also wish to change the name from butterbox-admin
so that other users will recognize you.
Best practices:
* Use unique passwords per deployment
* Store credentials offline in secure documentation
* Never reuse credentials across regions
#### Service Hardening
Recommendations:
* Disable services not strictly required:
* SSH (or restrict to key-based auth)
* Bluetooth
* USB ports
#### Content Integrity & Authenticity
Recommendations:
* Keep firmware immutable during normal operation
* Maintain a known-good baseline image
* Re-flash devices periodically in long deployments
Operational control:
* Only trusted operators should install or update content
* Document update sources and dates
### Section 3: Misuse & Abuse Mitigation
#### Local Chat & Content Abuse
Risks:
* Harassment or hate speech
* Impersonation
* Disinformation spread
Mitigations:
* Clear usage guidelines displayed locally
* Community moderation roles (if appropriate)
* Ability to reset or wipe chat data quickly
* Limit who can upload or replace content
* Keep a read-only mode for most users
### Section 4: Incident Response & Recovery
Prepare for compromise:
* Assume some devices will be tampered with
* Maintain a simple wipe and re-flash procedure
* Track deployments

# Local Chat
There is one local chat on your Butter Box that is open to anyone who is
able to join the box. If they can open the portal, they can open the chat
and say or post anything they want. Depending on your use case, moderation
capabilities may be important.
First, let's look at what you can and can't do with this local chat.
✅ **You Can**<br/>
* Host videos up to 5 GB PDFs, images, record, audio messages, share
pre-recorded audio messages or music
* Download the full chat or any individual piece of content or media that
people have shared
❌ **You Cannot**<br/>
* Use the chat to talk with people who are not connected to the Butter Box
* Get notifications when there are new posts or messages
* See the messages unless you are connected to the Butter Box
## Moderation
A Butter Box offers moderation features for the local chat. In order to
access these features, you need to login as the admin of the room.
### Become the Admin
### Logout as Guest
When you open the local chat, you are assigned a guest identity. First
logout of the account that was created for you.
### Login as Admin
Login to the `butterbox-admin` account. Username and password are both
`butterbox-admin`.
### Change Admin Password
Visit your user profile to change the password. At your discretion, you may
also wish to change your display name so that other users will recognize
you.
### Moderation Features
Once you are an admin, you have access to the following features:
* **Set a message timer**
* **Delete messages**
* **Promote members to moderator or admin**
* **Kick members out.**
* Keep in mind that someone can simply rejoin as a new guest if they
reconnect to the box

# Private Messenger
With the Private Messenger service, you can exchange secure messages with
people you know. [Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/) is a messaging app that
uses email protocols to exchange messages. When used through a Butter Box,
people who create accounts on the same Butter Box can send messages to each
other without the internet.
Think of the Butter Box like a local post office. Whenever you connect to
the Boxs network, your Delta Chat app can send outgoing messages and sync
to receive any new ones waiting for you.
