Hi all,
as mentioned in my RFC on GitHub [1] I thought of a simple way to
configure a cloud (from within the cloud) by using the bmx7-sms plugin
[2]. To show you the idea and how it could work please check my fork [3].
Here the commit message:
* lime-cc-client
check every 5 minutes for a new configuration received by bmx7-sms.
if the configuration is valid and the node is trusted the configuration
is used as default, lime-config and lime-apply runs.
if not, the configuration is ignored.
* lime-cc-server
distributes it own lime-defaults to the cloud. If changes happen to the
config it will be distributed to the cloud.
Would be happiest to hear for comments.
Best,
Paul

Dear all,
there will be a LibreMesh hackaton in CSOA Matakrostes [1] for the
weekend of 10th-11th of February.
You can participate to the meeting remotely via Matrix chat (also
accessible via IRC) [2].
Ciao,

Hello,
the new GSoC [1] is coming up and all organizations can apply with fresh
ideas. This year the deadline is already on 23.01 so we should move quick!
Luckly, the german Freifunk community created a website to collect ideas
[2]. We could discuss here needed features and projects and decide who
writes a (short) proposal for the website.
I already did so and created an project proposal to work on the new bmx7
[3].
As I'm still a student I'd very much like to participate again. Last
year I worked on the image server and chef [4] which slowly gains some
attention. If possible I could continue the work on that as well.
So far so good,
Paul

Dear LibrrMesh Team,
is it possible only grant access to internet only via VPN like vpn.ac or
PricateInternetAccess.com or just fastd? In Germany the law is not the
best in this case and publishing the private internet Access to public
is risky!
I did not find any information about this feature. Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Dennis
Dear LiMers,
I've been recently using the lime-sdk tool (actually, a fork
<https://dev.qmp.cat/projects/qmp-cooker/>) to generate images for a
number of devices
<https://dev.qmp.cat/projects/qmp-cooker/repository/revisions/master/entry/q…>.
Overall it's been very successful but, with some of them, I've faced
some trouble.
Take the example of the Alfa N5 outdoor wireless CPE
(target=ar71xx/generic, profile=ALFANX), which has 8 MB of flash (enough
to fit a lot of packages). Once the additional packages are built
(./cooker -b ar71xx/generic --force-local) I cook the image (./cooker -c
ar71xx/generic --profile=ALFANX) but the process fails: the kernel built
locally is too big to fit in the device's partition scheme.
I guess the problem comes from the fact that the SDK builds packages
with some extra options (debug, symbols, etc.) compared to the
Buildroot. Have you experienced this behaviour? Do you have any idea on
how to overcome this? The lime-sdk cooker is a wonderful tool, and it
would be very nice to make it work with all the devices.
Cheers,
Roger
Hello Libremesh team, first and foremost thank you for your hard work and
effort that has gone into creating this platform.
I have a question regarding the creation of local network profiles. Based
on the directory structure for the community profiles established. In order
to customize the firmware are we supposed to place the lime-default file
in lime-sdk/communities/communityname/profilename/etc/config/
When I specify my own custom profile, the cooked firmware is not customized
using the "--community=name/profile"" switch. I can successfully cook the
pre-existing network-profiles that were downloaded from the git. Is there
any additional documentation regarding this function that I may have missed
for local development?
Thank you,
-Tony
Hi all,
as chef.altermundi.net is somewhat outdated I created a simplified
version called "Jefe" (Spanish for chef).
Currently it jefe.tk has the following features:
- Build latest stable 17.06 (dev tree could be added as well)
- Easy to find device, just type in the name
- Choose network profile
- Choose flavor
- Edit packages (if desired)
More features can be added, let me know what you need. This is a very
early version, let me know what you think!
Best,
Paul
Hi all,
While reading the openwrt wiki, I stumbled upon this paragraph:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless#wifi_networks
A complete wireless configuration contains at least one wifi-iface
section per adapter to define a wireless network on top of the
hardware. Some drivers support multiple wireless networks per device:
broadcom if the core revision is greater or equal 9 (see dmesg | grep
corerev)
madwifi always supports multiple networks
mac80211 STA mode is supported. STA and AP at the same time is
supported as well.
So... we are using multiple-ap extensively and maybe some of the
devices that we can flash this on does not support them.
It might be interesting to add to our heuristics this check: if the
driver is not one of those, then use that radio only for one use.
What do you think?
Regards,
