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 collect all the profiles.json files a OpenWrt build has generated. The data will be written to www/data/ and www/config.json will be updated:

Scrape from a web site:

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

or via rsync (faster):

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

or scan a local OpenWrt build folder:

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

This should do it!

Further arguments for collect.py:

  • --formatted: Output formatted JSON data.
  • --version-pattern <VERSION_PATTERN>: Only handle versions that match a regular expression.
  • --insert-latest-release: Insert an artificial release called "latest" that contains the latest image for every device.
  • --latest-release-pattern <VERSION_PATTERN>: Only handle versions that match a regular expression.

Notes about config.js

  • image_url: Download location of the actual images.
  • info_url: Link template to some information page.

Allowed variables in info_url: {id}, {target}, {version}, {title}.

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.
