Adding CLI packages to opn-repo

mihakralj commented 9 months ago

Michael,

I would like to add several CLI packages to the repo and am pondering how we should approach that.

The most obvious idea would be if you'd publish your packagesite.yaml file that is published at https://opn-repo.routerperformance.net/repo/FreeBSD:13:amd64/packagesite.txz and we could perform a pull request and add desired line items for packages. This would add path to agreed/approved packages and allow individual installation with pkg install.

Another option would be to create and publish an empty bundle package, which would include +INSTALL script to directly install the bundle of CLI tools - and remove them all when uninstall is issued. This would be all-or-nothing approach and would require full re-install whenever any CLI tool gets a new version.

A third option would be to create a completely new repo just with OPNsense CLI tools and publish it separately from opn-repo.

Thoughts?

What CLI tools?

the most obvious one is opnsense-cli that I am nearing the completion
mosh - Mosh is a replacement for interactive SSH terminals.
doggo - command-line DNS client for humans
gping - ping, but with a graph.
mtr - mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
ngrep - ngrep is like grep applied to the network layer.
btop - resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes
glances - Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool.
curlie - Curlie is a frontend to curl that adds the ease of use of httpie
angle-grinder - Slice and dice log files on the command line.

My list is much longer, but I wanted to start with the most useful and obvious ones...

@mimugmail ping?

Sorry, my spare time is quite limited these days. Regarding opnsense-cli, if you don't have an official port in FreeBSD, you need to offer a compiled go-binary which we can deploy inside of a new plugin. Are you willing to do this?

Regarding the rest it should be qute easy ... but ... the whole workflow of updating the repo is currently broken cause I can't update unifi. The new version breaks current installs cause of mongodb update from 3.6 to 4.4 which is incompatible. Seems someone at FreeBSD was quite smart ;(

I would love to be able to have glances on OPNsense. If I am understanding the above request correctly.

mimugmail commented 8 months ago

Glances is already in, just check the packages

Delta-Entropy commented 8 months ago

I must be missing something. I've run "pkg search -g -r mimugmail *" and "pkg search glances and I can't see it?

tmeuze commented 8 months ago

@Delta-Entropy try this:

pkg install py39-pip

pip install glances bottle --user

edit /usr/local/etc/rc.syshook.d/start/96-glances

#!/bin/sh

/root/.local/bin/glances -w -B <lan-ip-address> -p 61208 --disable-plugin sensors

Exit: ESC, A, A

chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.syshook.d/start/96-glances

Reboot

(Why disable sensors?)

Hmmm?

# pkg install btop
