An application that displays an IP address configuration UI for BalenaOS devices.

Inspired by the wifi-connect project written by balena.io. Modified from the Python version created by Open Agriculture Foundation

How it works

WiFi Connect interacts with NetworkManager, which should be the active network manager on the device's host OS.
