There is a very useful server already, https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ . It allows one to customize the downloaded image by supplying the list of installed packages and the first-boot script (uci-defaults). The feature request is to improve the user experience by providing ready-made uci-defa…

I do not think there is a need to set the channel and the device. Also not every router has two wireless devices. A simple uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid='My AP' uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption='psk2' uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key='xxxxxxxxxx' uci commit wireless seems to b…

You have it more or less ready. The firmware selector has a textarea to add a script to execute the first boot. If you include here the uci commands to do this config, will work (I suppose, I've not tried it). The only thing missing is a link to the web page with samples.

I made a feature request ticket: https://gitlab.com/openwrt/web/firmware-selector-openwrt-org/-/issues/36

Question: I noticed that you authored the post I linked; and I read your "feature request ticket". In its entirety, it reads: It would be nice to be able to select the uci-defaults from a small collection of templates. If we can find a meaningfull collection that is. empty template / clear fiel…

Hi @lleachii , I try to sketch out how this feature would look like and work. Right now I have to designs in my mind: multiple icons, each will fill in a special template (one for setting up wlan, one more for IP address settings, ...) or just one icon that fills in a script with a bunch of popula…

As I said, I want this to be modular. Buttons should append their pieces of the script to the bottom. E.g., I could start with an empty uci-script field, then select PPPoE and the area should get populated with a script that configures PPPoE, with some placeholders. I could then click the WiFi butto…

Regarding the script fragments, I think they should be ultra-simple, linear, short, reliable, and to the point. No need to generalize. Any "if" or loop is a bug. Example for PPPoE: # Configure pppoe connection uci set network.wan.proto=pppoe uci set network.wan.username='<pppoe_username>' uci set n…
