WifiManger that keeps running a webserver

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello Forum,

I'm searching for a Wifi Manager library I can use in my ESP projects. I have already tested some WifiManagers like those from tzapu or zhouhan0126. My problem with those is as following:

I want the ESP to start in AP mode, so I can configure my Wifi credentials, as well as some other paths for e.g. my MQTT server adress or an NTP server.

After configuration the ESP should register in my WLAN. In this mode it should still be possible to change to configuration.

This is where those WifiManger libs fail. All of them terminates the WebServer when not using the AP mode. Yes might reenter the AP mode by button press. But this in inconvinient when the ESP is installed behind a piece of furniture or in a inwall mounting space.

Do you know of any simple frame work that might allow this constallation?

AP mode for Wifi Credentials, mixed storage for additional configuration parameters that can always be accessed ?

Hi Juraj,

thx for the reply but this is exactly what I not want. As I said, requesting the portal on button press in inconvinient.

start it in setup()

That is what you normally do, yes. Still the portal will be closed, when you enter your Wifi Credentails or after a time out.
