Managing Network Devices via #Orgmode Table and #OpenWRT Router
karl-voit.at/2025/04/18/openwr

I do maintain only one single table with all of my devices. I can control their IP and their ability to connect to the Internet (or not).

With this table, I do have a great overview of my devices and their IPs.

I thought you might like the idea ...

My biggest issue with #OpenWRT so far is the upgrade process. As in, keeping the OS up to date. The package manager's upgrade functionality, which is fully baked into the OS and its GUI web interface, prominently displays a warning at the top that tells you not to use it. Don't upgrade packages, it can and will break your system: openwrt.org/meta/infobox/upgra

Okay, then why is that feature baked into the OS at all?

Meanwhile, the sysupgrade feature, which is the recommended way to keep the OS up to date, is also baked into the OS, but only at the cli level. If you want to use the GUI web interface, you need to manually install the attended-sysupgrade package, after which point you can manually re-flash the OS whenever you want to using up to date packages, provided that you also (somehow) keep up to date about their releases without the use of a real tool to check for updates using the GUI. Why isn't that baked into the OS instead?

The whole thing is just very confusing.

I finally battle tested my BananaPi RPI-R3 with #OpenWRT. After a long time I am configuring weird network staffs (#yggdrasil, #xray and etc) without my beloved #nix. GUI configs sometimes really cosy... before you need something unusual (ALWAYS for me).
I also tried #nixos (bless nixos-sbc), but it's not cool to write #uboot to SD card or ssd. I need to try something like a generic UEFI boot loader on onboard eMMC. Ideally secure boot, but I don't think I have anouth mana for that kind of magic

Mein selbst zusammen-gehacktes/kompiliertes #OpenWrt für den TP-Link WR841 v10 mit 16 MB Flash (statt vom Hersteller 4 MB) geht leider ständig in eine #Bootloop und startet nicht richtig, vermutlich weil es es das root-Dateisystem unter /dev/mtdblock4 nicht mounten kann.

Zurücksetzen/Reset hab ich schon mehrfach probiert;
- OpenWrt mit sysupgrade neu installieren
- mit firstboot alles resetten.
Hat nix gebracht.

Kann mir da jemand helfen?

Im #Failsafe-Modus kann ich es zum Glück starten.

I'm running a 10 year old router (a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X). I just updated it to the latest #openwrt release - I have a small service window at lunch where I can take the Internet down without impacting my work AND I don't get complaints from the family.

I love that I can still run current firmware on a 10 year old device.
