So that e.g. customers can buy a router on their own, flash our custom
firmware, plug in a pendrive, and manage their SIP (telephony) node
from our webapp.
# Status
This is more of a template than something standalone. You most
probably want to customize this script here and there; search for
`CUSTOMIZE` for places of interest.
I've extracted this from a project where OpenWRT nodes auto-provision
themselves in 3 stages, but I thought it's useful enough for making it
public (stage 1: extroot setup; stage 2: install packages; stage 3: a
Python script for app-level sync).
At the time of writing it only supports a few `ar71xx` routers but
it's easy to extend it.
## Tested with
[OpenWRT Chaos Calmer 15.05 RC1](https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05-rc1/)

# Usage
### Setup stagesd
Blinking leds show which phase the extroot setup scripts are in. Consult the
sources for details: [autoprovision-functions.sh](image-extras/common/root/autoprovision-functions.sh#L49).
#### Stage 1
At the first boot after flashing the firmware the autoprovision script will
wait for anything (!) in `/dev/sda` to show up, then erase it and set up a
`swap`, an `extroot`, and a `data`filesystem (for the remaining space), and
then reboot.
#### Stage 2
Once it booted into the new extroot, it will continuously attempt to install
some OpenWRT packages until an internet connection is set up on the router
(either by using ssh or LuCI if you could include it in the firmware).
### Login
After flashing the firmware the router will have the standard
`192.168.1.1` IP address, and SSH will listen there using the keys
specified in `image-extras/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys`.
`192.168.1.1` IP address, and SSH will listen (in all stages) using the keys
specified in [authorized_keys](image-extras/common/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys)
(**this repo contains my own ssh public key as an example, either delete it or replace
it with yours!**).
By default the root passwd is initialized to a random string. If
you want to set up a password, then edit the stage 2 script: [autoprovision-stage2.sh](image-extras/common/root/autoprovision-stage2.sh#L53).
Once connected, you can read the log with `logread -f`.
The autoprovision script will wait for any `/dev/sda` to show up, then
erase it and set up a `swap`, an `extroot`, and a `data` filesystem,
and then reboots.
# Status
In stage 2 it will need an internet connection, so you should connect
to its [LuCI interface](http://192.168.1.1) to set up an Internet
upstream, and then it will automatically continue installing packages,
finishing the whole process, and then do a final reboot.
This is more of a template than something standalone. You most
probably want to customize this script here and there; search for
`CUSTOMIZE` for places of interest.
Most importantly, **set up your own public ssh key, or delete the default**.
