This will sadly not work, The ctrld cli has been broken in 24.xx.xx and we've had to use workarounds to get it to work, add the below lines to your backup configuration file to ensure the cli survives upgrades and change this line in the /etc/init.d/dnsmasq file. config_get dnsmasqconfdir "$cfg" confdir "/tmp/dnsmasq${cfg:+.$cfg}.d" to: config_get dnsmasqconfdir "$cfg" confdir "/tmp/dnsmasq.d" , the cause is because dnsmasq now creates a unique dir for each instance rather than the old /tmp/dnsmasq.d and I've seen reports from other apps affected by this issue, I got the above from Ctrld's github issues page not sure if I am allowed to post here, but there are similar posts on the openwrt github pages from devs whose apps are affected by these changes.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same issue here. You are talking about the ControlD CLI not working due to changes to how dnsmasq operates in 24.10.x. I am talking about using the https-dns-proxy (plus Luci GUI if you prefer) as a way to setup ControlD without using ControlD's package or CLI interface. This does not meet @viniribeirossa 's need, because currently, out of the box, https-dns-proxy does not support DOQ/DoH3 without some modification.
Here I have it setup and it works (both in stable and RC versions):
I would suggest that since this is ControlD's package and they sell the service that the issue is perhaps best resolved by them. You are right, I don't know whether the issue is worth/allowed to be mentioned here.
qq, I unknowingly used 24.10.0-rc4 on raspberry pi 4, finished configuration and actively started using it.
If/when a new rc/stable is released, will I be able to safely flash it using System->Flash Firmware by persisting my configs?
Yes but keep in mind that user installed packages will not be in the image. Use a tool like auc/owut or attended sysupgrade for an image that contains user installed packages.
Was the 1gig version ever supported? I didn't think it was though could be wrong...
The ToH says 1GB version - currently the 1GB RAM version is not bootable from snapshot. For this use one of the unofficial builds linked below:
I would not install RC5 until it is announced. The build bots have finished the builds, but Hauke hasn't announced it yet. There could still be issues that needs resolving. I remember RC4 being built shortly after RC3 because of such an issue. The dangers are made clear here by NDB.
Absolutely, I'm just saying heed that advice extra closely, it's no big deal for me to rollback but if you're feeling impatient, definitely wait a bit on this one.
