Installing and Using OpenWrt

i have created a version with specefic Script to run on first boot (uci-defaults)

and now if i use the attended sys upgrade, does it preserve those settings? if i do i factory reset those settings still [reserved? because i cant find the option to choose a local version in the attended sys upgrade page, and there is no option to choose: Script to run on first boot (uci-defaults) ?

I can recommend reading this:

PS: I hope this helps clear up your doubts (I read your post but I don't understand exactly what problems you're encountering and where you're starting from).

and this:

I quote “In a live router you can see the existing UCI defaults scripts in /rom/etc/uci-defaults , as /etc/uci-defaults itself is typically empty (after all scripts have been run successfully and have been deleted).”

I assume the script does this (based on your posts):

PS: I remind you that if a sysupgrade is performed, usually (if it is not skipped) the configuration of the modified files is restored (for example /etc/config/network, /etc/config/dhcp, etc.)

I quote “Preferably have an assistant physically present at the location of the device, if you upgrade it from remote (as some devices may require a hard reset after the update)

  1. Execute the following command to upgrade:

    sysupgrade -v /tmp/firmware_image.bin

  2. You can add the `-n` option if you DO NOT want to preserve any old configuration files and configure upgraded device from clean state (network/system settings will be lost as well)”

PS: The script could also be called through /etc/rc.local
