ITS WiFi Access Points Setup
We build the access points in use at the space using the LEDE/OpenWrt image
builder. The deployed images are completely hands-off no configuration of the
running firmware should be necessary as all the device specific setup is done
using /etc/uci-defaults/ by keying off the MAC address.
See files/common/its/etc/uci-defaults/50-config-from-mac for details.
Building Images
To build the its images, run:
$ make its
the resulting images land in images/v0.$(date +'%Y%m%d'). The build system
also produces a *.image-manifest file which contains the URL to the
ImageBuilder used as well its hash and the corresponding image's hash.
Using Released Binaries
The offically released and deployed images are added to the repo using
git annex since this will not actually add
the files to git but rather just a symlink containing its hash. The actual
binary images can then be uploaded to an internal server.
We also use git-annex to add secrets to the repo which will then only be
available to authorized people using the internal git-annex store. For an
example, see
files/common/its/etc/uci-defaults/51-secrets. This
file just sets up secrets, such as the WiFi/root password.
