Hi,
Hi Amuza!!
As far as I understand the installation now should be
done by following
the "Compiling LibreMesh from source code" guide at
https://libremesh.org/development.html
Yep, that's correct :)
Those are the official instructions, on top of that modifications can be
done, at your own risk... For example compiling on top of OpenWrt 19.07
is not officially suggested but should work already.
I think that provides firmware without a customized
network profile
configuration.
Yep, you're right.
The awesome Aparcar is working on that as you can see here:
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles/blob/master/.github/workflows…
but currently the upload to Aparcar server is failing due to some
missing settings.
Is there any LibreMesh organization server that can be used for this?
Hopefully this will be available at some point...
If you really really really want to use the network-profiles now and
using the
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles
repository, the process can be done locally and manually (it's complex,
I don't suggest this) generating a source repository using
https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles-builder
and including the resulting directory as a local feed in feeds.conf file
of the buildroot. This way you can either include the files in the
compiled images or produce a package that can be installed using OPKG.
The solution proposed by SAn (to put the wanted files in the files/
directory in the main build directory) is much more convenient:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem#custo…
Chef did that, but I think there's no chef now.
Also this is right.
Aparcar did a lot of improvements on Chef (so many that I'm not even
sure it's still called Chef...) and I suspect that it's not trivial to
have LibreMesh in there? I actually don't know.
Anyway until when there's no actual release, I think that people should
use the old fashioned method (compiling everything).
Is there
now any way to avoid manually configuring every router?
Yes, the solution proposed by SAn is the most convenient but various
alternatives are available :)
Thanks
Ciao!!
