Pro2 Luci interface changes? **solved**

[eal6553]

upgraded from pro to pro2 and the luci interface is different. Is there a way to use the more advanced version I used on the Pro?

[admin]

No, LUCI is not intended to be used.

on the pro i had to use luci and ssh to mount an external usb. also to add my syslog info so i could get logs sent there.
the luci interface looks a lot diff from the pro. must be the version?

during backup the default backup script mounts a connected USB device as backup device - and unmounts it when the backup is completed.
When you want to have device mounted e.g. into the exported .../data directory, you can add the mount command as last command to the backup.sh script in \\METEOBRIDGE\data\scripts
e.g.

Code: Select all

 mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mnt/data/USB

this assumes that you have created the directory USB in the /tmp/mnt/data directory before (that's what gets exported as SMB share \\METEOBRIDGE\data)

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/mnt/data/USB

this circumvents having to use Luci with simple means

ill check it out. is there a perm way for me to add/update the logging config so i can utilize my syslog server?
i update it in Luci but after reboot or other means, the server details are erased.
i thing theres a way with logd? i dont want to use tftp, ftp, etc. Rather it be sent as syslog msg to my server.
thanks

In my proposed solution you don't need any of this - and you get a regular backup.
if the backup script is run out of Meteobridge as a backup event, you can do it every hour.
And even if your external USB media runs full - without you doing housekeeping -, MB will overwrite the oldest backup with the latest one etc.

If you want to save the logfile (which is unfortunately deleted after each reboot), add a copy command for /tmp/log/meteobridge.log to the backup.sh script and change the file name by adding a time stamp, also to your backup device - directory of your choice or create one like /tmp/mnt/data/log
e.g.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/log
file_name=meteobridge.log
current_time=$(date "+%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S")
new_fileName=$file_name.$current_time
cp $file_name $new_fileName
cp $new_fileName /tmp/mnt/data/log

From the SMB share you can then process the log at your convenience.
Make sure you initialize a reboot only after the backup script has run (or create another independent script you call as a MB event) to get the complete logging (if needed).

You want other solutions (no ftp, sftp involved) - get yourself familiar with openWRT and what its ash shell offers as a reduced bash shell in terms of commands and then make your pick or build your script(s).
