Open the config file for the app

opkg update

don't use /etc/config/transmission - it is not read by the service starter. Actually, don't use /etc/init.d/transmission start - it doesn't work for some reason - I'm too lazy to use it.
What I did is:
transmission-daemon -d >> settings.json |
which doesn't work also for some reason, so copy the config info and save to settings.json or edit /root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json directly
"download-dir": "/home/ftp_user/storage/", "rpc-authentication-required": true, "rpc-enabled": true, "rpc-password": "pass", "rpc-url": "/transmission/", "rpc-username": "user", "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false, |
if you saved a local copy of settings.json
transmission-daemon -g . |
if you changed /root/.config/transmissio-daemon/settings.json
transmission-daemon |

to see plugged in devices.
install and use cfdisk to partion the USB.
gdisk not implemented on OpenWRT, so if the disk is GPT, then create an empty partition and it can be formatted with mkfs.ext4.
Then to recognize which partition is which (recognize them by size), use
cat /proc/partitions |
Install e2fsprogs, so that you can use mkfs.ext4.
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb5 |
Edit /etc/config/fstab
Add:
config 'mount' option target '/mnt/sda1' option device '/home/ftp_user/8GB' option enabled '0' config 'mount' option target '/home/ftp_user/storage' option device '/dev/sdb5' option enable '0' |
Use OpenWRT's web interface (luci): open tcp:20 and tcp:21 for plain old unencrypted ftp.
opkg update
opkg install vsftpd |
mkdir -p /home/ftp_user/storage chown ftp_user /home/ftp_user/storage |
Note: Don't chown the ftp_user dir, because later we will jail the user.
Add a user by editing /etc/passwd, useradd doesn't add a shell, so don't use it.
"/bin/false" - no ssh login possible
ftp_user:x:1000:55::/home/ftp_user:/bin/false |
then
passwd ftp_user |
to change the password of that user
Config, add these to /etc/vsftpd.conf, so the anon user points to the right location
anonymous_enable=YES anon_root=/home/ftp_user/ |
chroot_local_user=YES |
to start and make it autostart at boot:
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start /etc/init.d/vsftpd enable |
Basically OpenWRT has issues in terms of scripts and commands, but it's amazing how many things are already implemented.
Sometimes I need to access an Airport Extreme router (Apple's own wi-fi router) that's hidden behind a NAT.
There is a way to do that with Bonjour, but I haven't made it work.
I do that with local port forwarding via ssh, and the port is 5009 (add -L5009:192.168.1.1.:5009), and then open The airport utility and click File->Configure Other... and then enter localhost as the address, and type your password.
AppleScript to the rescue again:
on run {input, parameters} tell application "Finder" to make new file at (the target of the front window) as alias return input end run |
Save it as an Automator Application, then while holding the Command, drag to Finder toolbar to add as a button.
So sometimes you want to charge something from the usb of a macbook while the macbook is closed (sleeping, or whatever this functionality is called nowadays). Other manufacturer like ASUS have one usb port that is always powered, while the rest are not.
This is what I found.
With macbooks that's not the case. If the macbook is closed, all the ports are unpowered.
If you start charging something while the macbook is open, and then close it, it will continue to charge it while closed. Which is a really cool, because initially I thought all the ports are unpowered.
This is a bit annoying, because if closed, you have to open the macbook first.
Tested on the latest MBA.

The last solution is awesome.
Qbit depends on openssl, but the one installed from macports.
If you see:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/qbittorrent.app/Contents/Frameworks/libtorrent-rasterbar.7.dylib
Reason: image not found
Fix it with:
sudo cp /Applications/qbittorrent.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/
or with:
sudo port install openssl
>sudo port install imagemagick |
Goes for 40 min, still not done, I got bored and stopped. And my laptop was overheating.
>brew install imagemagick |
Done in 15 seconds.
The reason is that macports compiles everything and the ports are very granularized, while with homebrew most items are less granularized and are precompiled.
