[Idea]Select your own ip option
May 05, 2012 02:34PM
So i was working on my own piratebox when i had an idea what if during the install instead of having the ip address be statically configured to 192.168.1.1 we could have an option to select our own default address like 172.0.. or any thing else just a thought.

I'm thinking about it, too but more with looking into mesh-mode.

It is possible to create a guided install, where the package asks the user what to do.
But it is quite difficult, too. The IP config is currently split up between OpenWRT default scripts and the stuff lying in /opt/piratebox/conf

Upgrading the /opt/piratebox stuff have to be synced with the openwrt stuff.
The other possibility move more configuration to /opt/piratebox (bridge, basic ip setup... ) .. but then you will be interrupted at your first startup. If this happens while booting you don't have any chance.

What I can do, is create a option in /opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh script.
