daloRADIUS User Guide — Professional Tutorial (PDF-ready)

Does an Official PDF Exist?

The short answer is no. The DaloRADIUS development team (originally Liran Tal, now community-maintained) has never released an official, monolithic PDF user guide. Instead, documentation is distributed across:

• The README.md and INSTALL files in the source code.
• The official wiki (now largely outdated).
• Inline comments within the PHP code.
• Community forums (like the FreeRADIUS mailing list).

However, several community-driven efforts have compiled unofficial PDF guides. Additionally, many managed service providers and educational institutions have created internal DaloRADIUS user guide PDF documents for their teams and students.

2.6. Billing and Invoicing (If Enabled)

For ISPs, the guide should detail:

• Enabling billing module in configuration.
• Defining service plans (monthly, prepaid, data cap).
• Generating invoices and tracking payment history.
• Automated suspension of overdue accounts.

Part 5: The Future of DaloRADIUS Documentation

The DaloRADIUS community has recognized the documentation gap. As of 2024–2025, there are active discussions about:

• A modernized, responsive wiki with a “Download as PDF” button.
• Automatic PDF generation triggered with each new release (v2.0 and beyond).
• Video walkthroughs embedded in the documentation.

Until then, the most reliable path to a DaloRADIUS user guide PDF is to build it yourself, using the open-source community content as raw material.

2.8. Multi-NAS and Pool Management

Large networks have multiple access points (NAS devices). The PDF should show:

• Adding a new NAS (IP address, secret key, type – MikroTik, Cisco, etc.).
• Creating IP pools (DHCP-style) and assigning them to NAS devices.
• Monitoring each NAS’s status and response time.

12. Appendix — Conversion to PDF

• Structure the document with the above headings.
• Include screenshots of UI where helpful (login, add user, accounting) — capture with consistent resolution.
• Add a table of contents and a changelog section at the end.
• Export via common tools: LibreOffice, Microsoft Word, or pandoc (Markdown → PDF):
  • pandoc tutorial.md -o daloradius-guide.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex

If you want, I can: generate a formatted PDF-ready Markdown file of this guide, include example screenshots and configuration file templates, or produce a one-page quick reference sheet. Which would you like?

daloRADIUS is an advanced open-source web management application designed to manage FreeRADIUS deployments, primarily for hotspots and ISP environments. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for user management, billing, and reporting, which FreeRADIUS lacks natively.  Core Functionalities 

User Management: Simplifies creating, deleting, and managing user accounts with support for flexible attributes.

Graphical Reporting: Offers visual insights into accounting data, including graphs for online users and traffic volumes.

Billing Engine: Features management for billing rates, plans, and integration with payment gateways like PayPal.

GIS Integration: Integrates with Google Maps to geo-locate hotspots and access points visually.  System Requirements & Setup  DaloRADIUS Users Manual | PDF | Radius - Scribd
