* Improve the firmware upgrade process
The old firmware upgrade process attempted to free up RAM by reusing
the 'upgrade_kill_prep' script which is later used by '/sbin/sysupgrade'.
Unfortuantely this doesn't work as intented. While the script will go about
killing various services, 'procd' just goes and starts them up again using
quite a bit more memory in the process. Instead this script just kills
the various daemons 'no questions asked' and then runs the associated
'/etc/init.d/xxx stop' script to instruct 'procd' not the start them up again.
This gets us to the place the original script was trying to go.
+ A syntax fix in '007' patch (need spaces around the [ .. ])
* Inline the style for the firmware page to avoid sleep before flash
* Minor reliability improvements
* Clear away services even earlier
* Final bits of perl replaced by lua
* Use iwinfo during first boot (api I was using fails this early)
* Retry getting phy device (it can fail as the node is booting up)
* Lua vpn server and client pages
* Lua vpn server and client pages
* Fix reporting of daemon restart errors
* Lua olsrd-config
* Fix reversed client/server ip assignments
* Fix patterns for finding active tunnels
/etc/config.mesh/aredn sometimes gets truncated, although reproducing it is difficult. This
is one of the few places this file is mindlessly written to, so instead use cursors to update it.
* Lua Services
* Lua versions of user page (non-admin)
* Support multiple antenna chains
* Improved led detection
* Fix logging
* Add manager.log files to support tool
* Lua versions of user page (non-admin)
* Dont count default route
* Fix board id for older nodes
* Handle missing node.history
* Check /tmp/snrlog exists
* Per discussion, make the Lua pages the defaults and Perl the backups
* Migrate /etc/config/dmz-mode to /etc/dmz-mode
* Migrate dmz_mode into /etc/config/aredn
* Use cmd append
* Changes should be in /etc/config.mesh
* Add commit
* add uci migration script
* removed debug lines
* added newline to end
* include gridsquare values
* migrate lat/lon/gridsquare to uci format
* remove from sysupgrade kept files list
* Memory and cpu performance improvements
* Fix bandwidth reporting
* Discard large arrays once we're done with them
* Fixup whitespace
* Improve string constructions
* Use available mem
* Print the Remote Nodes as we go (can be big)
* Local variables
* Stop re-reading arp/mac files
* Reduce calls to system 'cat'
* Simply lat/lon read
* Only read route30 once
* Whitespace
* Make meshstatus limits configurable
* and => &&, or => ||
* gzip content if we can
fixes#155
* api: revise localhost function
Revise getLocalHosts() so it doesn't report unwanted hosts.
getLocalCnxType() is no longer needed.
* include new iplookup function too
* incorporate Eric r1de values for getCurrentNeighbors
* use alternative for mac2host()
* get actual wlan interface for arp query
* tested on dualband radio
Tested on dualband radios with active clients on both Mesh RF and Wifi
AP.
* add more error checking
* fix iplookup match
It is possible to have 2-digit "mid" prefixes. Fixes match to account
for 2 possible digits.
* tighten up code
* add extra info values for Eric r1de
* api: add RF IP for non-RF links
Add the RF IP address for non-RF linked devices. This allows the
services to be displayed for non-RF Current Neighbors.
* remove case manipulation
* Remove local.mesh suffix from CurrentNeighbor hostname
* Uppercase hostname for consistency
* Make hostname lowercase for consistency with Local Hosts display in newui
* fix: Local Alert File Read All
Read the entire local_message file rather than just the first line.
* fix: Local Alert File Read All
Also fix the issue with empty alert files showing empty newui alert
dialogs.
* Format Uptime as String
Format uptime as a string with values for days, hours, minutes, and
seconds.
* Format uptime as String
Change code to use the secondsToClock function in utils.lua
Update the alert banner background color to distinguish it from the
"supported hardware" messages. This makes it look more like a standard
sticky note.
Aliases in NAT mode allows the node admin to create alias names for hosts on the LAN and then use those for creating port forwarding rules. The aliases DO NOT effect the rest of the mesh network and are not propagated via OLSR.
NAT Mode aliases are only usable on the local LAN where the IP addresses are known and routable only on the subnet. Since the NAT hides these IP addresses or the node masquerades, other mesh nodes and devices by definition only know about the node’s hostname. Thus aliases on the LAN in NAT mode are not propagated by OLSR across the mesh. You _CANNOT_ use an alias name in a service listing.
You _will_ be able to set an alternate hostname for any host on the nodes' LAN however.
A host named `CBY45-DELLLAPTOP` can also be known as `wxc-shack-laptop`. It may make remembering which host is which a bit easier.
Since OLSR does not propagate the alias, the "Do Not Propagate" checkbox while in NAT Mode is hidden.
* enhancement: show the "non propagated" hosts as a grey color in the mesh list on the localnode.
This allows for the node admin to see, at a glance, which of the hosts are "hidden" or not.
* changed colors a little bit for the black background styles.
also assed in the aliases so now they will show up as a different color too.
this only effects the mesh listing on the localnode to where the aliases and/or non propagated hosts are.
the rest of the network does not see this.
* add a tooltip to the aliased/non propagated hostnames to help explain what they mean
Allows for aliased hostnames on the mesh. One IP/Host can be assigned to multiple hostnames.
This is useful for many things including virtual hosts, virtual machines, virtual email addresses, etc.
The possibilities are actually _endless_.
Fixes#516
Allows for the node admin to choose to have DHCP leased hostnames/IP's propagated over the rest of the mesh network or not.
Defaults to allowing the hostname/IP to propagate.
The hostname/IP will *still* be resolvable from the localnode and will show up in the list of hosts on the localnode only.
This allows for selected local mesh devices to be not available over the rest of the mesh network.
ie: switches, routers, cameras, etc.
This will work immediately for *new* DHCP leases when the checkbox is selected.
For *existing* DHCP leases, it may take a while for the network to update, if ever.
To speed up the process of full network OLSR "DNS" updating, reboot all the nearest neighbor device(s) to the node you made these changes to.
That seems to get the changes "out" to the rest of the network faster than normal.
Fixes#508
Change the Advanced Configuration warning banner: slightly wider to
distinguish from Alerts banner, add WARNING and make text color pure
white for contrast.
In the US, part 97 ham radio lower band edge is 5650.
Channel 131 @ 10MHz channel width is the lowest channel
setting that stays within allocation.
fixes#550
