This solution is much simpler and works with maemo default kernels. It does not support file uploading, and thus is not a "canonical" piratebox. However, it allows to create your own web page with links, and distribute them everywhere you go.

This manual explains how to turn your N810 or N900 Maemo device into a PirateBox.

In case you don't know what is piratebox go to [http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox David Darts page] or [http://www.thepiratebox.net/ here]. Also, there are script called [https://github.com/cr/mkPirateBox mkPirateBox] for hardware router devices.

==Install web server==
Basicly what we need is a web server.
<pre>
apt-get install lighttpd
</pre>

I also edited the server's config file

<pre>
vi /etc/lighttpd.conf
</pre>
and changed document root directory to /media/mmc1/www
<pre>
server.document-root = "/media/mmc1/www/"
</pre>

put your website data there and start http server if it's not started.

<pre>/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart</pre>

==Start access point==

So, dnsmasq is available in maemo out of the box. It is a dns and dhcp server.
As a root, start the following script:

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
set -x
IFACE=wlan0
ESSID=welcome_to_norayrs_mobile_server #set this yourself
MYTEMPHOSTNAME=maemo
ADDR=23.23.23.23
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ADDR_MIN=23.23.23.0
ADDR_MAX=23.23.23.255
INT=1

ifconfig $IFACE down
sleep $INT
iwconfig $IFACE mode ad-hoc
sleep $INT
ifconfig $IFACE up
sleep $INT
iwconfig $IFACE essid $ESSID
ifconfig $IFACE $ADDR netmask $NETMASK up

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -i $IFACE -a $ADDR -I lo -z -d \
-x /var/run/dnsmasq.$IFACE.pid \
--dhcp-range=$ADDR_MIN,$ADDR_MAX,12h \
--address=/#/$ADDR \
--no-resolv
</pre>

This is it, now anybody can connect to your access point and your personal PirateBox on your n900 or n810 running under maemo
