freifunk-berlin/falter-firmware-selector

Freifunk Berlin Fork of OpenWrt Firmware Selector. Modifications are in branch 'falter_stable'

OpenWrt Firmware Selector

A simple OpenWrt firmware selector using autocompletion. Uses plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Checkout the Demo.

This is a Fork/Mirror of the official OpenWrt version, but without OpenWrt specific changes like the feedback link and continuous integration scripts.

Quick Run

• Download the sources and change the working directory
• Start webserver (e.g. python3 -m http.server)
• Go to http://localhost:8000/www/ in your web browser

Configure with config.js.

Installation

Place the www/ folder somewhere web accessible. Then use the collect.py script to update www/config.json and to write all device data into www/data/:

./misc/collect.py https://downloads.openwrt.org  www/

or for local accessible OpenWrt builds:

./misc/collect.py ~/openwrt/bin  www/

This should do it!

Settings image_url and info_url can also be passed to misc/collect.py to be included in the version specific overview.json files instead of config.json:

• --image-url: Download link template for the image files.
• --info-url: Link template that points to additional information.
• --version-pattern: Only handle release versions that match a regular expression.

Variables:

• {version}: Version in the profiles.json files. E.g. 19.07.4 or SNAPSHOT.
• {id}: Device identifier. E.g. tplink_archer-c7-v2
• {target}: Main- and sub target, E.g. ath79/generic.
• {base}: Distinct path to the targets directory. E.g. releases/18.06.8/targets/
  Handled by misc/collect.py only!

Generate OpenWrt JSON

The collect.py script merges data from profile.json files generated by OpenWrt. To enable generation, go to the build settings (make menuconfig): Global build settings ---> [*] Create JSON info files per build image.

If the option is not available (OpenWrt 18.06 or 19.07.3), apply commit openwrt/openwrt@881ed09.

Attended SysUpgrade (ASU)

ASU is a build server that builds OpenWrt images with a given list of packages on request. The firmware-selector can be used as an interface to send these requests and to download the images when finished.

UCI-Defaults

The Firmware Selector allows to define a script to be placed in the /etc/uci-defaults/ folder of the OpenWrt image. These scripts are executed once on the first reboot and then deleted. See the OpenWrt documentation on this topic.

falter-firmware-selector's Issues

Selector shows wrong checksums

The selector shows wrong checksums for the images. In fact, it shows the checksums of only one image-type, even if we select the other one. So at least for half of the images, there get correct checksums displayed.

when this bug is fixed, we can drop e7fe664

Nothing shown when I visit selected router page again

When I visit this link:
https://selector.berlin.freifunk.net/?version=21.02.3&target=ath79%2Fgeneric&id=tplink_tl-wdr4300-v1
(reached the page by searching for tl-wdr4300)
I see nothing...

I would like to see the page behind it!

Different names for tunneldigger and direct out images

Hi, I would like to download the different images to play around with them.

When I choose tunneldigger, I get this link and the next one is notunnel.

https://firmware.berlin.freifunk.net/stable/1.2.2/notunnel/ath79/generic/
    openwrt-21.02.3-freifunk-falter-1.2.2-ath79-generic-tplink_tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
https://firmware.berlin.freifunk.net/stable/1.2.2/tunneldigger/ath79/generic/
    openwrt-21.02.3-freifunk-falter-1.2.2-ath79-generic-tplink_tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

The image names are identical but I would like to read them like this:

favicon

When I visit the page, I would appreciate a favicon.
Since the routers use this icon:

It would be nice to see the same one so that I know that they belong together.

Add firmware selector link for old firmwares

Would it be possible to add links to the bottom with something like "view older releases" which then brings up a page of links for kathleen, hedy, falter 1.1.X? Then it would be really nice if each of those had it's own "selector" page.

I think this would be good for us to keep separate from the up-to-date and snapshot images. It keeps the main selector page free from unneeded clutter. But at the same time provides a constant interface for people to be able to download old firmware versions.

Cannot search when revisiting page

When I visit this web page again:
https://selector.berlin.freifunk.net/?version=21.02.3&target=ath79%2Fgeneric&id=tplink_tl-wdr4300-v1
(reached the page by searching for tl-wdr4300)

then, the search box does nothing.
