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.
