OpenWrt (Backfire 10.03) and TL-WR1043ND

I would like to describe another OpenWrt configuration. It's going to be just few examples how to configure latest available OpenWrt firmware Backfire 10.03.1.

I'm going to use TP-Link TL-WR1043ND wifi router with small 64MB USB stick [/dev/sda1] containing ext2 partition. I plan to have some stats on the USB stick and simple html pages as well.

After flashing the original firmware with openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin I installed the kernel related packages and extroot:

(if you have OpenWRT already installed use: mtd -e firmware -r write /www2/openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware)

telnet 192.168.1.1
passwd

opkg update
opkg install block-hotplug block-extroot kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage

Configure the ssh to enable autologin:

scp $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/authorized_keys
ssh root@192.168.1.1
cp /tmp/authorized_keys /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys

Install few applications:

opkg update
opkg install --force-overwrite htop less openssh-sftp-server tcpdump wget-nossl

Configure ssmtp for the outgoing emails:

opkg install msmtp-nossl

sed -i 's/^\(host\).*/\1 smtp.XXXXXX.cz/' /etc/msmtprc
cat >> /etc/msmtprc << EOF
auto_from on
maildomain ser.no-ip.org

Configure DDNS:

opkg install luci-app-ddns

uci set ddns.myddns.enabled=1
uci set ddns.myddns.service_name=no-ip.com
uci set ddns.myddns.domain=ser.no-ip.org
uci set ddns.myddns.username=ruz
uci set ddns.myddns.password=XXXXXXXXXXX

Install snmpd:

opkg install mini-snmpd

uci set mini_snmpd.@mini_snmpd[0].interfaces=lo,br-lan,eth0.2,eth0.1
uci set mini_snmpd.@mini_snmpd[0].community=OpenWrt
uci set mini_snmpd.@mini_snmpd[0].location='Ser'
uci set mini_snmpd.@mini_snmpd[0].contact='Ser'
uci set mini_snmpd.@mini_snmpd[0].disks='/tmp,/overlay'

/etc/init.d/mini_snmpd enable

Configure TFTPboot and dnsmasq script:

mkdir /tftpboot

wget -P /tftpboot http://static.netboot.me/gpxe/netbootme.kpxe
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].enable_tftp=1
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].tftp_root=/tftpboot
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=netbootme.kpxe

  echo -e "Subject: New MAC on `uci get system.@system[0].hostname`.`uci get dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].domain`\\n\\n`/bin/date +"%F %T"` $*" | sendmail petr.ruzicka@gmail.com
fi
EOF

chmod a+x /etc/dnsmasq-script.sh

Configuration of iodined server (dns-tunelling)

opkg install iodined

uci set iodined.@iodined[0].address=XX.XXX.XX.XX
uci set iodined.@iodined[0].password=XXXXXXXX
uci set iodined.@iodined[0].tunnelip=192.168.99.1
uci set iodined.@iodined[0].tld=tunnel.XXXXX.cz

/etc/init.d/iodined enable

Configure httpd daemon for the "/www2":

opkg install px5g uhttpd-mod-tls

uci del uhttpd.main.listen_http
uci set uhttpd.px5g.days=3650
uci set uhttpd.px5g.country=CZ
uci set uhttpd.px5g.state="Czech Republic"
uci set uhttpd.px5g.location=Brno
rm /etc/uhttpd.crt /etc/uhttpd.key

uci set uhttpd.main.listen_https="0.0.0.0:443"

mkdir -p /www2/vnstat
uci set uhttpd.my=uhttpd
uci set uhttpd.my.listen_http="0.0.0.0:80"
uci set uhttpd.my.home=/www2

Set the checking time for watchcat for 1 hour:

opkg install watchcat

/etc/uci-defaults/50-watchcat
uci set system.@watchcat[0].period=1h

/etc/init.d/watchcat enable
uci commit
reboot

Repeat the previous steps and continue...
You need to repeat it, because your router now reads the configs from "empty" USB stick and not form internal memory. If you will remove the USB stick openwrt will read the configs from the memory.

Configure statistics (collectd):

opkg install luci-app-statistics

opkg install collectd-mod-cpu collectd-mod-disk collectd-mod-irq collectd-mod-ping collectd-mod-processes collectd-mod-tcpconns

uci set luci_statistics.collectd_rrdtool.DataDir=/etc/collectd
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_ping.enable=1
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_ping.Hosts=www.google.com
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_df.enable=1
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_df.Devices=/dev/sda1
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_df.MountPoints=/overlay
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_df.FSTypes=fuseblk
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_disk.enable=1
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_disk.Disks=sda
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_interface.Interfaces="eth0.2 wlan0 eth0.1"
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_irq.enable=1
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_tcpconns.LocalPorts="2222 80 443"
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_rrdtool.CacheTimeout=120
uci set luci_statistics.collectd_rrdtool.CacheFlush=900

That's all... ;-) Happy OpenWRTing...
