+# Linux Server Setup for Nintendo Wii
+
+## Requirements:
+
+- A Nintendo Wii (RVL-001 or RVL-101)
+- A computer running Linux natively
+- An SD card greater than 8GB in size
+- Probably other stuff i can't think of right now
+
+## Suggestionments:
+
+- A USB NIC that is compatible with linux kernel 4.19
+- The kind of autism that makes you inclined to run a web server on a Nintendo Wii using Linux
+
+# Instructions (VERY WIP):
+
+## Setting up arch linux on your wii
+
+1. Follow the instructions at https://wii.hacks.guide to mod your Wii. You only need to get the to the point that you have priiloader installed
+2. Follow the instructions at https://wiki.wii-linux.org/wiki/Installation_Guide to install Arch Linux btw.
+3. Plug a keyboard into the Wii's USB port. If you have one, you should also plug in a compatible USB NIC.
+    - Not all USB NICs will work, however more seem to work than do on the Wii normally.
+4. Enable automatically booting to linux (this can be skipped if you installed BootMii as boot2 when modding the Wii)
+    1. Power on the Wii while holding the reset button to display the priiloader menu
+    2. Use the up/down arrow keys on your USB keyboard to select "options", then press enter
+    3. User the left/right arrow keys on your USB keyboard to change the autoboot setting to "BootMii IOS"
+    4. Use the up/down arrow keys to select "save settings", press enter. Then select "Exit menu" and press enter again.
+    5. Use the up/down arrow keys on your USB keyboard to select "BootMii IOS", then press enter
+5. The first time Arch Linux boots, it may automatically reboot itself
+6. Once Arch Linux has finished booting, login using the credentials printed at the top of the screen
+    - you should absolutely change this password with `passwd` after logging in.
+7. If you do not have a compatible USB NIC, connect to a 2.4GHz wireless network using `nmtui`
+8. Once a network connection is established, perform a full system upgrade using `pacman -Syu`.
+    - In my experience, this is much more stable on a wireless connection. Couldn't tell you why.
+    - this will take a long time. Go play Wii Sports while you wait.
+
+## Setting up the web server on your wii
+
+9. Install nginx, sudo, and git using `pacman -S nginx sudo git`
+10. Create a new non-root user with `useradd --create-home [your username]`
+11. Set a password for your user with `passwd [your username]`
+12. Run the command `echo '%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' > /etc/sudoers.d/wheel` to enable give sudo access to all users in the wheel group
+13. Run the command `usermod -aG wheel [your username]` to add your user to the wheel group
+14. Enable the ssh server systemd service with the command `systemctl enable --now sshd`. It should now start automatically upon boot.
+15. From your primary linux machine, run `ssh-copy-id -i [your ssh key] [your linux wii's username]@[your linux wii's IP address]` and enter the password you set in step 11
+    - `[your ssh key]` is your ssh identity file, likely found in `~/.ssh/`, ending in `.pub`
+    - `[your linux wii's username]` is the username you set in step 10
+    - `[your linux wii's IP address]` is the network address of your wii. You can find this by entering the command `ip address show | grep "inet "`
+      - The address will probably look something like `192.168.1.130`. It will not be the one starting with `127` nor will it be the one ending with `255`
+16. Attempt to log in over ssh from your primary linux machine using the command `ssh [your linux wii's username]@[your linux wii's IP address]`
+17. Once connected to a shell over ssh, run `sudo whoami` and enter your user password when prompted
+    - If the output after entering your passwrd is `root` then your user has successfully been given sudo priveleges
+    - you may now log the wii's `root` user out of any active shells
+18. Enable the nginx server systemd service with the command `systemctl enable --now nginx`. It should now start automatically upon boot.
+19. Navigate to `http://[your linux wii's IP address]` in a web browser on a device connected to the same network as the Wii. You should be greeted with the nginx splash page.
+20. Open the nginx config with `sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`. In the `http` block, locate the first `server` block, and change `/usr/share/nginx/html` to `/usr/local/share/nginx/html`
+21. Press ctrl+x to close the file, press y to confirm saving changes, then press enter to confirm the filename
+22. Run the command `sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/nginx/html` to create the local nginx resource directory
+23. Run the command `sudo systemctl restart nginx` to reload the modified config
+24. run the command `echo 'hi' | sudo tee /usr/local/share/nginx/html/index.html` to create a text file at the root of your server.
+25. Reload the webpage you navigated to in step 19 and you should see the word 'hi' appear in the browser window.
+26. Update the files at `/usr/local/share/nginx/html/` with static web content and it will become available at your wii's IP address
+
+## Periodically updating the web server's contents (using the config you see here)
+
+27. clone this repository to your user's home directory `cd;git clone 'https://git.pogmom.me/pogmommy/wii-server-setup.git'`
+28. cd into the newly-cloned repository and run the setup script `cd wii-server-setup;./setup.sh`. Provide your password when prompted.
+
+## Finishing touches
+XX. Make any remaining configuration changes as desired (change system hostname, etc.)
+
+## Current issues:
+- Probably a lot but what do you really have to complain about
+
+# Special thanks to:
+
+- **Techflash** and the cool folk listed at https://wii-linux.org/ for making this project possible in the first place. These people are wizards.
+- **Bringus Studios** for reminding me that you don't need to know how to use linux to have a good time with it.
+- **Nintendo** for threatening to kill emulator developers.
+- **Nic** for selling me this specific Wii.
