TheHackerNextDoor Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I just updated my Pineapple. I had no idea it would reformat everything... Just a warning to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcellerator Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It reformists everything apart from what's on the SD card. Any infusions found on the ds card are automatically added to the web interface after an update though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebkinne Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yes, but it removed what I spent hours configuring...You'll find that we do have a warning on the upgrade page that upgrading will wipe all user data (except anything on the SD card).

flynn23 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Which is another reason why I've posted a question to the community on how they manage configs. Seems that it should be easy enough to dd the root filesystems onto an sd card or somewhere. But frankly, my experimentation with that has not been "easy". So I'd like to hear other concepts of how to do it. It gets awfully tiring restoring settings and swapping config files in and out for different projects and in between updates. The root filesystems aren't big enough to run a proper cms, nor would I want the CPU overhead of doing this. It would also be nice to tripwire (or similar) some of the bins and config files to ensure that they've not been tampered with since these boxes can often be subject to a lot of abuse while in the field.

flynn23 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 In browsing around, there's a few people who have used git and github to manage this for other systems. Not sure how heavy git is, but would anyone be interested in working with me to port it to busy box to see if it works as a config management tool?

wifi-stuff Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 There's a working git package at http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/packages/git_1.7.11.2-1_ar71xx.ipk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
