Introducing DDNS
by Michael Tremer 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

Hello, this is a post to update you all about the recent developments regarding the support for the various upcoming dynamic DNS providers. Rationale Some of the major dynamic DNS providers stopped their free services or made them unusable so that people started searching for alternatives. In IPFire 2, a script called setddns.pl [1] is responsible for updating the dynamic DNS records. This script has grown over the last couple of months and if you have looked into it you will have noticed that it has become from ugly to almost un-maintainable. The decision that we don't want to take this mess with us into the next generation of IPFire was already made many years ago. DDNS A project called ddns was started which is a pure Python client that is much more flexible, cleanly rewritten and easily extensible. It is cross-platform, cross-distribution and does not need any third-party python modules. The basics already written years ago, Stefan Schantl and I worked on making this ready for IPFire 2 and added all the providers that are currently supported by setddns.pl and ez-ipupdate. The source for the new DDNS tool can be found over here: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ddns.git;a=summary or on GitHub https://github.com/ipfire/ddns were you can send us pull requests for supporting new providers and so on. Bug reports go to the usual place: https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=DDNS%20Updater There is no fixed release schedule for this, but we are pretty sure that this won't take long until DDNS arrives in IPFire 2. That means that we won't take any patches for the setddns.pl script that add support for new providers any more. We appreciate any contribution and as always hope to get some feedback back from the community! Best, -Michael [1] http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=src/scripts/setddns.pl;h=5…

Guardian 2.0 Testversion 011
by Stefan Schantl 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hello followers, at first I have to thanks to all of you which have joined the guardian 2.0 testing team. I've got a lot of positive feedback but also has been noticed about several tiny issues. I've uploaded an updated test version to http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/. The installation / update works in the same way as described in the planet post: http://planet.ipfire.org/post/introducing-guardian-2-0-for-ipfire IMPORTANT: Please create a backup of your files stored in "/var/ipfire/guardian/", otherwise the will be overwritten by the update! Changelog: * Matthias Fischer detected some small problems in the "guardian.cgi" and provided some patches for them. http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=19d6abcce5… http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=0a6c3cb896… http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=82208c83c7… * Blago Culjak informed me about problems on starting guardian and displaying it's status in the web interface. This behaviour only happens when the legacy version of guardian has been un-installed and not just replaced by the guardian. In the updated version contains the required file which is used by various IPFire scripts to detect if an addon is installed or not. * The CLI switch "-d" called "debug mode" has been replaced by "-f" to launch guardian and run it in the foreground. http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=a58bd67486… * Some new code has been added to prevent from starting multiple instances of guardian. http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/stevee/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=9d44c0d995… Best regards, -Stefan

grub broken in IPFire upgrade from 85 to 87
by Rod Rodolico 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

I believe those are the correct versions. I upgraded the machine and now get a grub error 15. I have no further information except the following: It is an HVM virtual, running on an LV (should not make a difference) To troubleshoot, I use kpartx to break it apart. When I mount the /boot partition, I see grub.menu.old, then a grub/ directory. The config file in the grub/ directory has none of the configuration options I expect. I have made a copy of the image in case anyone wants me to do anything to it. Two other routers have worked just fine with this upgrade, but they are not on an LVM partition? Anyone has any clues on what I should look for, let me know. Rod -- Rod Rodolico Daily Data, Inc. POB 140465 Dallas TX 75214-0465 214.827.2170 http://www.dailydata.net

AW: logrotate
by Olaf Albrecht 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

It seams that also the guardian.log will not rotate. Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5. März 2015 15:30 An: development(a)lists.ipfire.org Betreff: logrotate Is it true that IPFire has a small logrotate bug? I have seen that my /var/log/messages has a size of 1,3 GB. When I start logrotate manually it says that the /etc/logrotate.d is missing. After creating that folder logrotate is starting without problems. Maybe I deleted that folder but I don't think so. Olaf Ferdinand Lusch GmbH & Co.

The installation manual (http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/hardware/arm/wandboard/wandboardquad) says: "Please note, after each kernel update the boot.script needs to be adjusted and the convert_bootscript.sh or the containing command needs to be executed." Thereof, the steps of adjusting boot.script and running mkimage seem to be necessary after each kernel update.

Has anyone looked into IPFire on the Banana Pi BPI-R1? I'm thinking about replacing my big old dual PIII commercial power sucking box with IPFire on one of these. http://www.banana-pi.com/eacp_view.asp?id=64 Seems like a perfect IPFire appliance. 8-) Five gigabit ethernets plus Wifi 802/b/g/n Bill -- Digital had it then.

Re: haproxy, miniupnpd, nginx
by Michael Tremer 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi, no I do not think that it is worth having a full documentation. I guess it is worth considering to have some pointers to common use cases. For nginx specifically that would be using it as a reverse proxy. I guess that nginx on IPFire is most commonly used for that. -Michael On Sun, 2015-03-22 at 22:42 +0100, Benjamin Schweikert wrote: > Hi all, > well I am using und updating nginx. Do you really think it is useful to put such an info into the wiki? In my opinion if somebody uses nginx he/she knows what it is and and knows how to use google.

Question about Pakfire Update process
by IT Superhack 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi everybody, I am currently working on bug #10767. During the last week, I wrote a shell script which compares the running kernel to the installed kernel files (/boot/...). If they are different, it recreates the files "boot.script" and "boot.scr". Because of that, the user doesn't have to do this after every kernel update. However, the script needs to be triggered after a kernel update took place. (Of course, I could copy it into /etc/cron.hourly/, but in my opinion, this is not a good solution.) I guess it needs to be triggered by Pakfire after the update process is done. Now comes my question: How do I do this? How can I tell Pakfire to run a custom shell script after an update? I would be very greatful if you could mail me some hints.

haproxy, miniupnpd, nginx
by Daniel Weismüller 22 Mar '15

All these addons were recently updated but there are no informations about it in our wiki. It would be very fine if someone could write a few words about it. What is it? What my a user do with it? How to use it? - Daniel --- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast Antivirus-Software auf Viren geprüft. http://www.avast.com
