freifunk / meshkit Goto Github PK

It seems to allow at least a space - thats not allowed for hostname.

the TLS certificate for https://meshkit.freifunk.net/ expired last December

http://firmware.berlin.freifunk.net/wizard states that the root password is "admin". But the password within the image is not set.

Logging in via ssh failed. Got the hint on the web interface, that the password is not set. So I just used telnet to login.

This should be fixed in the FW or the documentation on http://firmware.berlin.freifunk.net/wizard should be fixed.

Were here at Freifunk Potsdam love meshkit. However we are unable to use OpenVPN at our uplinks with images created by meshkit. (openvpn can't create a connection)

Can you help?

when setting LAN to OLSR parameters you need some after-flash things to do:

• disabling dhcp on LAN
• set the NAT on freifunk zone from "LAN" to 192.168.0.0/16

some years ago this config option seems to be not often needed. but nowadays f.i. Nanostation M5 loco loves this setting

What happens if you want to start a new community? And obviously it is not on the list.

I just went with the first one, even though I live not in germany but in South Africa.

Could you please add two ar71xx router models which I think have 8 MB flash and should be suitable:

export PLATFORM=DIR505A1 # for D-Link DIR-505
export PLATFORM=TLWR710 # for TP-LINK TL-WR710N

We are playing with Mesh networks and found out the TL-WR1043ND is working very well if we are using hardware version 1, but version 2 is not supported. OpenWRT seems to work...

better disable that, because olsr has no roaming feature. so the clients will go crazy with that.
also, most androids doenst support that

I tried to make a config for the WGT634U, however, even with the WGT634U profile choosen, it never outputed a WGT634U file, only other ones. And trying to flash the trx file caused the systems to become bricked. Any chance to get that fixed? :)

if VAP is turned on there is no network connected.. atm that has to be edited manually

I would like to share my Internet connectivity with my neighbors using a MeshKit-generated image, and have it show a splash screen where the user must agree to the TOS. However, since there is no Freifunk initiative where I live, i would like to set this up without any mesh or Freifunk aspect. Basically I just would like to connect the MeshKit-flashed router via Ethernet to my home network router (which includes a DHCP server).

I have been trying to set this up for a couple of hours now without success. Can you please give clear instructions how to do this? I assume it should be easy, but apparently it is not.

The Firmware for the TP-Link WR841N Ver10 is not generated by the Meshkit.

OpenWRT firmware is here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=59577

some quickfixes, quickhacks and special settings are sometimes existing, its community-specific..
easiest method would be to have a post-install-scipt executed, when its inside the profile or community-profile

in leipzig we use it for to proper batman-adv config to the node, only when kmod-batman-adv is installed (via packages installed on meshkit)
and to set some wifi advantages (HT-mode on ath9k).

Hey, we've noticed that the meshkit builder under http://meshkit.freifunk.net/ contains configs for Bensheim and Heppenheim. This communities where dead and dissolved into Freifunk Rhein Neckar which is using the gluon firmware. So we think it would be better to remove this cities to prevent confusions.

Nach ein paar Tagen bringt meshkit öfters folgenden fehler.
(workaround ist das stoppen und -9-killen der python prozesse

We ran into potential legal issues (German "Störerhaftung" law) that could be fixed by directing the User-traffic (Wifi) traffic through TOR. Additional benefit would be some added privacy for the Users (with security benefits if they are using https).

Currently I am experimenting with the howto here:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=27354

It is a bit of rocket science (oh, firewalls....) that could stop lots of people from using it.

Having that as a simple option in Meshkit would simplify TOR setup a lot and definitely rock. Enabling more people to to roll out Mesh networks because the legal barrier just got levelled.

I opened a similar bug in Luci

Hi,

der Wizard hatte ein paar ausgegeben Fehler. Ich weiß nicht, ob das
allgemeine Fehler sind, aber diese Änderungen haben geholfen.
(Vielleicht kann jemand, der den Code besser kennt, die Korrektheit
prüfen.)

$ diff meshwizard.fixed.lua meshwizard.lua
98c98

< local hwtype = section[".type"]

  local hwtype = section.type

119c119

<

121c121

< if iwinfo.freqlist then

  if iwinfo then

file: /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/freifunk/meshwizard.lua

Beide Änderungen betrafen Fehler, die durch den Rückgabewert nil
zustande kamen (ipairs(iwinfo.freqlist) und syscall).

Liebe Grüße
chris
