I'm developing opensoho as a central controller for SOHO OpenWrt setups. I've recently added support for usteer and I did notice a significant drop in wireless clients with a bad c…

I've built OpenSOHO using this, and it has been an amazing timesaver! Even though I modified it a bit to reuse the backend. It's clearly not what it's made for, but it wasn't too h…

OpenSOHO: built to manage a small number (from 2 to ~20) OpenWRT 24.10 based network devices. https://github.com/rubenbe/opensoho

Thanks for the info! I didn't know about the multicast "storm" in usteer. I had a look at dawn too, but that one doesn't seem to support limiting its functionality to a specified s…

Thanks! I've noticed that the 802.11k/v needs extra daemons to be configured (e.g usteer) and overall the documentation is very spotty. (for quite most "modern" features actually).…

OpenWRT does support 802.11r fast roaming for multiple APs. The problem with OpenWRT is/was the configuration of multiple APs. There is OpenWISP, but they mostly target very large …

OpenSOHO and OpenWisp do both send parts of /etc/config files to the AP. While we're discussing: someone did an attempt in the OpenSOHO discussions to have a freshly flashed AP reg…

Nice idea! I do notice quite some people focus the autodiscovery part where for me that's less of an issue (I do agree it would be VERY nice). The OpenWISP configuration on each AP…

Initially I fiddled a bit with full Open wisp stack to try to make a smaller edition. But I quickly stopped that. But I know their two daemons well. The config one is a neat little…

It's for exactly that reason I started with OpenSOHO. It is targeted towards the typical home and small office network with less than 20 OpenWRT devices. (although there is no hard…

No, that's the advantage is that the kernel/processes don't need to be trusted since your kernel guarantees the isolation. So you can have a Linux kernel running next to some high …

Incredible that there is no graffiti on any of them.

I've always found openwisp to be tailored to massive fleets of OpenWrt routers (100+). Not really for a home setup where you have a handful of devices (5-10). Alternatives are welc…

This would be extremely useful, since phones typically add the correct accents automatically. But on my laptop I need to do this myself (using a deadkeys layout).

Does someone know a good Android client?

You actually don't need a shell script to mount the different pseudo filesystems. You can do that in your application. So all that remains is an initramfs with a statically linked …

It only works with 3+ disks. All data needs to be on two disks. e.g. you have 3 100GB drives, total capacity in raid 1 is 150GB. If you replace a broken one with a 200GB one, the t…

For me the killer feature of btrfs is "RAID 1 with different sized disks". For a small and cheap setup, this is perfect since a broken disk can be replaced with a bigger one and im…

I agree, the dialogs are getting increasingly frequent and harder to "click" away. I'm open for suggestions for an open-source Android image gallery app.

I've keep running Fedora coreos on my home server. My biggest issue with it, is that it is very cloud oriented and doesn't seem to allow to rerun the provisioning config on an alre…
