Is LuCI not by default part of the image you create with image builder?
For my router TP-Link C5 v5, I have created "no extra" factory and sysupgrade images with this command
luna@ub18-em:~$ make image PROFILE=tplink_archer-c7-v5
as is described in more detail in this earlier post of mine:
Image building fails with many "collected errors" [19.07.8 ib]
Today I applied the resulting sysupgrade bin to the router and got this result:
- Router gives me Internet access fine.
- Router is accessible from Terminal by SSH.
- But pointing the browser to 192.168.1.1 gives: "This site can’t be reached192.168.1.1 refused to connect."
- I notice that the sysupgrade bin that I created and applied (at 4.1 MB) is some 0.4 MB smaller than the one I downloaded (at 4.5 MB), i.e.:
Questions:
If LuCI is not by default part of an image created by image maker, please advise which packages I should include in the make image command. I got as far as the following User Guide.
But there are many alternative sets of packages (e.g. basic vs. extended), and I do not know which set (if any) would give me the same LuCI as I had with the downloaded "release" 19.07.8 firmware.
If LuCI should have been part of the images I created, then what could have gone wrong? What should I do differently? Thanks.
