  1. Site configuration
  2. ==================
  3. The ``site`` consists of the files ``site.conf`` and ``site.mk``.
  4. In the first community based values are defined, which both are processed
  5. during the build process and runtime.
  6. The last is directly included in the make process of Gluon.
  7. Configuration
  8. -------------
  9. The ``site.conf`` is a lua dictionary with the following defined keys.
  10. hostname_prefix
  11. A string which shall prefix the default hostname of a device.
  12. site_name
  13. The name of your community.
  14. site_code
  15. The code of your community. It is good practice to use the TLD of
  16. your community here.
  17. prefix4
  18. The IPv4 Subnet of your community mesh network in CIDR notation, e.g.
  19. ::
  20. prefix4 = '10.111.111.0/18'
  21. prefix6
  22. The IPv6 subnet of your community mesh network, e.g.
  23. ::
  24. prefix6 = 'fdca::ffee:babe:1::/64'
  25. timezone
  26. The timezone of your community live in, e.g.
  27. ::
  28. -- Europe/Berlin
  29. timezone = 'CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3'
  30. ntp_server
  31. List of NTP servers available in your community or used by your community, e.g.:
  32. ::
  33. ntp_servers = {'1.ntp.services.ffeh','2.tnp.services.ffeh'}
  34. opkg : optional
  35. ``opkg`` package manager configuration.
  36. There are two optional fields in the ``opkg`` section:
  37. - ``openwrt`` overrides the default OpenWrt repository URL
  38. - ``extra`` specifies a table of additional repositories (with arbitrary keys)
  39. ::
  40. opkg = {
  41. openwrt = 'http://opkg.services.ffeh/openwrt/%n/%v/%S/packages',
  42. extra = {
  43. modules = 'http://opkg.services.ffeh/modules/gluon-%GS-%GR/%S',
  44. },
  45. }
  46. There are various patterns which can be used in the URLs:
  47. - ``%n`` is replaced by the OpenWrt version codename (e.g. "chaos_calmer")
  48. - ``%v`` is replaced by the OpenWrt version number (e.g. "15.05")
  49. - ``%S`` is replaced by the target architecture (e.g. "ar71xx/generic")
  50. - ``%GS`` is replaced by the Gluon site code (as specified in ``site.conf``)
  51. - ``%GV`` is replaced by the Gluon version
  52. - ``%GR`` is replaced by the Gluon release (as specified in ``site.mk``)
  53. regdom : optional
  54. The wireless regulatory domain responsible for your area, e.g.:
  55. ::
  56. regdom = 'DE'
  57. Setting ``regdom`` in mandatory if ``wifi24`` or ``wifi5`` is defined.
  58. wifi24 : optional
  59. WLAN configuration for 2.4 GHz devices.
  60. ``channel`` must be set to a valid wireless channel for your radio.
  61. There are currently three interface types available. You many choose to
  62. configure any subset of them:
  63. - ``ap`` creates a master interface where clients may connect
  64. - ``mesh`` creates an 802.11s mesh interface with forwarding disabled
  65. - ``ibss`` creates an ad-hoc interface
  66. Each interface may be disabled by setting ``disabled`` to ``true``.
  67. This will only affect new installations.
  68. Upgrades will not changed the disabled state.
  69. ``ap`` requires a single parameter, a string, named ``ssid`` which sets the
  70. interface's ESSID.
  71. ``mesh`` requires a single parameter, a string, named ``id`` which sets the mesh id.
  72. ``ibss`` requires two parametersr: ``ssid`` (a string) and ``bssid`` (a MAC).
  73. An optional parameter ``vlan`` (integer) is supported.
  74. Both ``mesh`` and ``ibss`` accept an optional ``mcast_rate`` (kbit/s) parameter for
  75. setting the default multicast datarate.
  76. ::
  77. wifi24 = {
  78. channel = 11,
  79. ap = {
  80. ssid = 'entenhausen.freifunk.net',
  81. },
  82. mesh = {
  83. id = 'entenhausen-mesh',
  84. mcast_rate = 12000,
  85. },
  86. ibss = {
  87. ssid = 'ff:ff:ff:ee:ba:be',
  88. bssid = 'ff:ff:ff:ee:ba:be',
  89. mcast_rate = 12000,
  90. },
  91. },
  92. wifi5 : optional
  93. Same as `wifi24` but for the 5Ghz radio.
  94. next_node : package
  95. Configuration of the local node feature of Gluon
  96. ::
  97. next_node = {
  98. ip4 = '10.23.42.1',
  99. ip6 = 'fdca:ffee:babe:1::1',
  100. mac = 'ca:ff:ee:ba:be:00'
  101. }
  102. mesh : optional
  103. Options specific to routing protocols.
  104. At the moment, only the ``batman_adv`` routing protocol has such options:
  105. The optional value ``gw_sel_class`` sets the gateway selection class. The default
  106. class 20 is based on the link quality (TQ) only, class 1 is calculated from
  107. both the TQ and the announced bandwidth.
  108. ::
  109. mesh = {
  110. batman_adv = {
  111. gw_sel_class = 1,
  112. },
  113. }
  114. fastd_mesh_vpn
  115. Remote server setup for the fastd-based mesh VPN.
  116. The `enabled` option can be set to true to enable the VPN by default.
  117. If `configurable` is set to `false` or unset, the method list will be replaced on updates
  118. with the list from the site configuration. Setting `configurable` to `true` will allow the user to
  119. add the method ``null`` to the beginning of the method list or remove ``null`` from it,
  120. and make this change survive updates. Setting `configurable` is necessary for the
  121. package `gluon-luci-mesh-vpn-fastd`, which adds a UI for this configuration.
  122. In any case, the ``null`` method should always be the first method in the list
  123. if it is supported at all. You should only set `configurable` to `true` if the
  124. configured peers support both the ``null`` method and methods with encryption.
  125. ::
  126. fastd_mesh_vpn = {
  127. methods = {'salsa2012+umac'},
  128. -- enabled = true,
  129. -- configurable = true,
  130. mtu = 1280,

  137. key = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  138. -- Having multiple domains prevents SPOF in freifunk.net
  139. remotes = {

  142. },
  143. },
  144. peer2 = {
  145. key = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  146. -- You can also omit the ipv4 to allow both connection via ipv4 and ipv6
  147. remotes = {'"vpn2.entenhausen.freifunk.net" port 10000'},
  148. },
  149. },
  150. -- Optional: nested peer groups

  153. -- limit = 1,
  154. -- peers = ...
  155. -- },

  157. },
  158. -- Optional: additional peer groups, possibly with other limits
  159. -- peertopeer = {
  160. -- limit = 10,
  161. -- peers = { ... },
  162. -- },
  163. },
  164. bandwidth_limit = {
  165. -- The bandwidth limit can be enabled by default here.
  166. enabled = false,
  167. -- Default upload limit (kbit/s).
  168. egress = 200,
  169. -- Default download limit (kbit/s).
  170. ingress = 3000,
  171. },
  172. }
  173. mesh_on_wan : optional
  174. Enables the mesh on the WAN port (``true`` or ``false``).
  175. mesh_on_lan : optional
  176. Enables the mesh on the LAN port (``true`` or ``false``).
  177. autoupdater : package
  178. Configuration for the autoupdater feature of Gluon.
  179. ::
  180. autoupdater = {
  181. branch = 'stable',
  182. branches = {
  183. stable = {
  184. name = 'stable',
  185. mirrors = {
  186. 'http://[fdca:ffee:babe:1::fec1]/firmware/stable/sysupgrade/',

  193. 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', -- someother
  194. }
  195. }
  196. }
  197. }
  198. roles : optional
  199. Optional role definitions. Nodes will announce their role inside the mesh.
  200. This will allow in the backend to distinguish between normal, backbone and
  201. service nodes or even gateways (if they advertise that role). It is up to
  202. the community which roles to define. See the section below as an example.
  203. ``default`` takes the default role which is set initially. This value should be
  204. part of ``list``. If you want node owners to change the role via config mode add
  205. the package ``gluon-luci-node-role`` to ``site.mk``.
  206. The strings to display in the LuCI interface can be configured per language in the
  207. ``i18n/en.po``, ``i18n/de.po``, etc. files of the site repository using message IDs like
  208. ``gluon-luci-node-role:role:node`` and ``gluon-luci-node-role:role:backbone``.
  209. ::
  210. roles = {
  211. default = 'node',
  212. list = {
  213. 'node',
  214. 'test',
  215. 'backbone',
  216. 'service',
  217. },
  218. },
  219. setup_mode : package
  220. Allows skipping setup mode (config mode) at first boot when attribute
  221. ``skip`` is set to ``true``. This is optional and may be left out.
  222. ::
  223. setup_mode = {
  224. skip = true,
  225. },
  226. legacy : package
  227. Configuration for the legacy upgrade path.
  228. This is only required in communities upgrading from Lübeck's LFF-0.3.x.
  229. ::
  230. legacy = {
  231. version_files = {'/etc/.freifunk_version_keep', '/etc/.eff_version_keep'},
  232. old_files = {'/etc/config/config_mode', '/etc/config/ffeh', '/etc/config/freifunk'},
  233. config_mode_configs = {'config_mode', 'ffeh', 'freifunk'},
  234. fastd_configs = {'ffeh_mesh_vpn', 'mesh_vpn'},
  235. mesh_ifname = 'freifunk',
  236. tc_configs = {'ffki', 'freifunk'},
  237. wifi_names = {'wifi_freifunk', 'wifi_freifunk5', 'wifi_mesh', 'wifi_mesh5'},
  238. }
  239. Packages
  240. --------
  241. The ``site.mk`` is a Makefile which should define constants
  242. involved in the build process of Gluon.
  243. GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES
  244. Defines a list of packages which should be installed additionally
  245. to the ``gluon-core`` package.
  246. GLUON_RELEASE
  247. The current release version Gluon should use.
  248. GLUON_PRIORITY
  249. The default priority for the generated manifests (see the autoupdater documentation
  250. for more information).
  251. GLUON_LANGS
  252. List of languages (as two-letter-codes) to be included in the web interface. Should always contain
  253. ``en``.
  254. .. _site-config-mode-texts:
  255. Config mode texts
  256. -----------------
  257. The community-defined texts in the config mode are configured in PO files in the ``i18n`` subdirectory
  258. of the site configuration. The message IDs currently defined are:
  259. gluon-config-mode:welcome
  260. Welcome text on the top of the config wizard page.
  261. gluon-config-mode:pubkey
  262. Information about the public VPN key on the reboot page.
  263. gluon-config-mode:reboot
  264. General information shown on the reboot page.
  265. There is a POT file in the site example directory which can be used to create templates
  266. for the language files. The command ``msginit -l en -i ../../docs/site-example/i18n/gluon-site.pot``
  267. can be used from the ``i18n`` directory to create an initial PO file called ``en.po`` if the ``gettext``
  268. utilities are installed.
  269. .. note::
  270. An empty ``msgstr``, as is the default after running ``msginit``, leads to
  271. the ``msgid`` being printed as-is. It does *not* hide the whole text, as
  272. might be expected.
  273. Depending on the context, you might be able to use comments like
  274. ``<!-- empty -->`` as translations to effectively hide the text.
