Automatic updates #25

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

As a minimum viable feature I'd propose the following:

an OPKG repository fed by the buildbot
a cronjob that updates cjdns and luci-app-cjdns
option in luci-app-cjdns to disable the cronjob

Further things that should be addressed:

signing packages
rolling back an update
loss of power during update
updates to the rest of the firmware

Things that could be investigated:

Freifunk Hamburg allegedly pushes mass auto-updates to hundreds of nodes (@kpcyrd)
OpenWrt's nbd said fstools snapshots might be worth a look regarding loss of power during updates
@enigmagroup used to do auto-updates of the cjdns package
