The address of the vpn interface is calculated in the style of
modified EUI-64, based on a virtual mac address. This virtual mac
address consists of 0x00 as first byte and the other five bytes
are taken from the first bytes of md5sum(base64 encoded public key).
The algorithm was taken by the ffmuc, with a slight difference. ffmuc
calculated the result of md5sum(base64 encoded public key + '\n')
which was interpreted as accidential fault and therefore dropped.
Example:
- Public-Key: "gP3VJnTTvnQut+z4O+m0N9RgMyXbgyUbUkF3E3TKX2w="
- Address: "fe80::02ca:b8ff:fedc:2eb3"
The following interfaces are used for wireguard:
- wg_mesh -> wireguard interface
- mesh-vpn -> vxlan iface on top of wg_mesh
If you use this new feature, make sure the NTP servers in your site
config are publicly reachable. This is necessary, since wireguard
requires correct time before the vpn connection is established.
Therefore gluon performs ntp time synchronisation via WAN before it
establishes the vpn connection. Therefore the NTP servers have to
be publicly reachable (and not only via mesh).
The rewrite of the feature handling introduced multiple major bugs. One
of them was caused by the way Lua's logical operators work:
An expression of the form
_'autoupdater' and _'web-advanced'
would return 'web-advanced' rather than the boolean true when _ returned
both strings unchanged (because the features are enabled).
As entries with more than a single feature name in their expressions did
not set no_default, Gluon would then attempt to add gluon-web-advanced to
the package selection, as web-advanced is a "pure" feature.
To fix this, and get rid of the annoying nodefault, separate handling of
"pure" feature and handling of logical expressions into two separate
functions, called feature() and when(). To simplify the feature
definitions, the package list is now passed directly to these functions
rather than in a table with a single field 'packages'.
Fixes: ee5ec5afe5 ("build: rewrite features.sh in Lua")
The `features` file is converted to a Lua-based DSL.
A helper function `_` is used in the DSL; this will return the original
string for enabled features, and nil for disabled features. This allows
to use boolean operations on features without making the code too
verbose.
Besides having more readable and robust code, this also fixes the bug
that all files `packages/*/features` were evaluated instead of only
using the feature definitions of currently active feeds.
adds a section to the wizard for outdoor capable devices
that informs the user of of the regulatory situation and
allows a quick toggle of the outdoor mode.
this activates the package by default when using the batman feature
while still allowing to explicitly remove it like this:
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES := \
-gluon-ebtables-limit-arp
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
