Automatic update script

@zorxd I've made script some days ago which can survive and run after sysupgrade. One part of the script lives on your linux server and downloads official flash image and o'package files, then uploads them to your device, flashes it. The second part lives on your device and reads the offline cache (ipk files), tries to reinstall your packages and reboot your device then to (re)turn it to online operation. If then packages non crucial to operation are missing, the script autoruns a second time on the device and tries to (re)install your preferred packages from the openwrt online repo. I can share it on request, just open a thread and ping me as this is not the right place for management ;-).

Sounds great, i assume you have tested them thoroughly?
Im in the works of planning my upgrade and was thinking of making my own image with imagebuilder, but it will be the first time i upgrade so im looking for all info concerning howto and best practice

@user674574 I've documented how to do a custom build here ( State of Archer C7 v2 in mid-2020 )

Yes, the scripts have completed testing successfully and work reliably. But: I only can use the "on device" script at the moment due to bug ( https://forum.openwrt.org/t/19-07-xx-strange-kernel-jffs2-bug ) where TP Link Archer OpenWrt Firmware cannot persist large files during flash because of an SPI read "problem" which trips "jffs2 error" and config reset unintentionally on my hardware. So I'm upgrading with a custom build of official's OpenWrt 19.07.4 source code plus packages I require to connect to the internet and let then the script do the rest on first boot after flash to reinstall other packages from the online repo.

To setup the "reinstall opkg after flash" script:

  • Edit /etc/rc.local
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.

( /bin/sleep 30; /bin/sh /root/opkg_reinstall.sh ) &

exit 0

Things you should change and configure to your own needs in "opkg_reinstall.sh":

  • In the header
(...)
INSTALL_BATMANADV="1"
INSTALL_OPENVPN="1"
INSTALL_RELAYD="0"
INSTALL_WIFI_NON_CT_DRIVERS="1"
(...)
  • In function "opkgInstall": Insert your own package cocktail there which you want uninstalled and installed. If you don't need special conditional scenarios, you can delete the code until the "opkgRemove" block.
(...)
	PKG_TO_REMOVE="${PKG_TO_REMOVE} wpad wpad-basic"
	PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} libopenssl1.1 wpad-mesh-openssl"
(...)
(if INSTALL ONLINE ...)
(...)
# ...
opkgRemove ...

It works like this:

  • You upload the above mentioned files to your OpenWrt devices. (I've verified it working on TP Link Archer C7's, v2 and v5)
  • You manually create the file "/etc/_OPKG_INSTALL_COMPLETE" if you don't want the script to take action on next reboot (without a flash).
  • You log on to Web UI and perform a firmware flash with KEEP SETTINGS enabled.
  • After that, the router looses the "done marker" file: /etc/_OPKG_INSTALL_COMPLETE
  • The router will autorun the "opkg_reinstall.sh" script and look for an internet connection.
  • Two ways to go from there: You've either put "internet connection critical" IPK files to "/root/packages" (which MUST correspond to the version you're updating to) OR you have internet connection after flash. If the script finds something sufficient, it will continue to run and remove/install your packages using offline(or online) repository as you need it and - only after successful installation - reboot the router to get "VPN/mesh/etc." using the newly installed O'packages.

@user674574 @zorxd @Catfriend1

Yeah,mine does not need usb but is more complicated if you need packages to get even online. Therefore I have a second script to find and download the correct ipk files from the repo for each make and model of router I have.

I am currentlly testing your script to fit my needs but I am unable to get it to start.
Testing is done in a VM with combined-ext4.img install.

I did everything as you stated and also applied chmod 0755 to it.
The log file that is beeing created has this name: "opkg_reinstall.log??"
But still it is not starting the script after reboot.
/etc/_OPKG_INSTALL_COMPLETE file doesn't exist

Yes, there should be a log file.
Can you run it manually after reboot from ssh terminal?

Nope, that also won't work.

root@OpenWrt:~# ./opkg_reinstall.sh
-ash: ./opkg_reinstall.sh: not found
root@OpenWrt:~# ls
opkg_reinstall.log??  opkg_reinstall.sh
root@OpenWrt:~#

I did not touch anything in the script apart from adding my packages.

sh /root/opkg_reinstall.sh force

root@OpenWrt:~# sh /root/opkg_reinstall.sh force
: invalid signal specification line 2: SIGHUP
: not foundreinstall.sh: line 35: {

did you use LF format line endings?

That did the trick!
Just copied your script without putting attention to this in notepad++.

It is working now without any issues! Thank you very much for this script.

I have just a few questions left.

#1
On which basis is this line taking effect? For me setting it to 0 or 1 didn't make any difference both issued a reboot when the script finished.
REBOOT_REQUIRED="0"
Does it have something to do with this code?

		if ( echo "${package_name}" | grep -q "^kmod-" ); then
			REBOOT_REQUIRED="1"
			# logAdd "[INFO] opkgRemove: Kernel module removed. Will sleep a bit to avoid crash."
			sleep 10

If the script detects the installtion or removal of a kernel module it will reboot no matter what has been set in the REBOOT_REQUIRED variable at the beginning?

#2
If understood everything correctly we can safely remove the code below, if we don't need any of the packages.

	# Add packages to the install and remove queue.
	PKG_TO_REMOVE="${PKG_TO_REMOVE} wpad wpad-basic"
	PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} libopenssl1.1 wpad-mesh-openssl"
	#
	# Replace ct with non-ct drivers
	if [ "${INSTALL_WIFI_NON_CT_DRIVERS}" = "1" ]; then
		# Remove order is important
		PKG_TO_REMOVE="${PKG_TO_REMOVE} kmod-ath10k-ct ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct"
		PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} ath10k-firmware-qca988x kmod-ath10k"
	fi
	#
	# batman-adv
	if [ "${INSTALL_BATMANADV}" = "1" ]; then
		PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} batctl-full kmod-batman-adv kmod-crypto-crc32c kmod-lib-crc16 kmod-lib-crc32c kmod-crypto-hash librt"
	fi
	#
	# Only install these packages if we are online
	if [ "${INSTALL_ONLINE}" = "1" ]; then
		#
		# Base system
		PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} bash curl htop lua luafilesystem mailsend nano terminfo tcpdump wget"
		#
		# FTP service
		PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} vsftpd"
		#
		# Relayd
		if [ "${INSTALL_RELAYD}" = "1" ]; then
			PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} luci-proto-relay relayd"
		fi
		#
		# OpenVPN
		if [ "${INSTALL_OPENVPN}" = "1" ]; then
			PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} luci-app-openvpn openvpn-easy-rsa openvpn-openssl"
		fi
		#
		# Syslog-ng, logd
		if ( echo "${HOSTNAME}" | grep -q "^${LOG_COLLECTOR_HOSTNAME}" ); then
			PKG_TO_REMOVE="${PKG_TO_REMOVE} logd"
			PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} syslog-ng"
		else
			PKG_TO_REMOVE="${PKG_TO_REMOVE} syslog-ng"
			PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} logd"
		fi
		#
		# USB storage drivers
		PKG_TO_INSTALL="${PKG_TO_INSTALL} block-mount e2fsprogs kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-fs-msdos kmod-scsi-core kmod-usb-storage libncurses libpcre"
	fi
	#

And define all packages we would like to have removed/installed below.

runInstall () {
	# Syntax:
	#	runInstall
	#
	# Global vars
	# 	[IN] INSTALL_ONLINE
	#
	# Variables
	PKG_TO_INSTALL="luci-app-commands ddns-scripts luci-app-ddns luci-ssl-openssl ipset wireguard luci-app-wireguard"
	PKG_TO_REMOVE=""
	#

Please correct me if I am wrong!
Also why do you define some packages to only be installed if we are online?

	# Only install these packages if we are online
	if [ "${INSTALL_ONLINE}" = "1" ]; then
		#
  1. If the script detects the installtion or removal of a kernel module it will reboot

Correct. It is not a setting but a reminder if any installation requires a reboot.

  1. You can modify the package "lists" according to your needs. Leave out what you don't need.

  2. The script can also install packages laid on /root/packages before the sysupgrades takes place. (requires preparation and upload of the *.ipk files by you) I've got some cases here where the router has no internet connection by security concept but I can remote administer it via vpn. So I run another batch on my local machine to auto-download ipk files for offline installation for the openwrt target release I aim to upgrade devices later to. When I got the required ipk files, I then upload them to /root/packages which is persisted across sysupgrades. After that, I flash the new official stable and the router goes offline (vpn packages missing at first boot), starts the opkg_reinstall.sh locally, gets a list of things to install, sees package sources available in /root/packages and installs them. After reboot, vpn is up again as packages are installed and running again and I can see my upgrade as finished successfully. It's cool to do it remotely because I cannot get physically to each device to temporarily plug it into an internet connection for upgrading+package reinstalling. But this approach is recommended to be done on a local physical test router device first. If anything goes wrong or a file is accidentially missing your router will be stuck offline.

For reason (3) I've made the Install_offline switch, because I only want to use the install from /root/packages method for vpn/mesh-crucial drivers and software in order to get the device coming back online again after a flash by itself. My tplink archer c7's don't have much jffs2 flash space available so I keep space usage as minimal as possible here. All the rest of non critical packages will then when a connection "to the outside world" is made be downloaded from openwrt.org .

Okay thank you very much.

I modified your script to fit my needs.

  • renamed some parts
  • removed the parts I didn't need
  • changed PKG_TO_REMOVE & PKG_TO_INSTALL to global vars
  • packages that get installed: luci-app-commands ddns-scripts luci-app-ddns luci-ssl-openssl ipset wireguard luci-app-wireguard
  • replaces ct with non ct WiFi drivers

If anyone is interested you can find it below.
Of course all credit belongs to @Catfriend1 for creating the original script.

Hi. I needed to fix some new problems found with 23.05.2 OpenWRT update. So I used your script and made it into a git repo for any updates to be easily adopted as merge requests.
To see what's changed, look at individual commit diffs.
