Piratebox on the Zsun
Like many of us have read the article on slashdot about the Openwrt capabilities of the Zsun Wifi card Reader. The idea of having PirateBox running on the smallest device yet made me order one from China. After many hours of installing, troubleshooting, resetting e.d. I now have a complete working Piratebox installation. I would like to share my installation scripts in order to let you install your own.
OpenWrt (15.05 “Chaos Calmer”) and PirateBox (1.0.7) were used in the making of this tutorial.
DISCLAIMER: NOBODY will take responsibility or be liable for anything you do to your zsun. If you brick it trying these procedures, YOU are solely responsible for your actions. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
0. PreSetup
- Having a Zsun running OpenWrt. I've used the hackerspace.pl method.
- microSD card
- Root password set.
- Change the default uhhtpd (LuCI) ports to 9080 and 9443.
#uhttpd config uci set uhttpd.main.listen_http=9080 uci set uhttpd.main.listen_https=9443 uci commit
- Get internet working on the zsun.
#wireless config uci set wireless.radio0.channel=auto uci set wireless.radio0.txpower=18 uci set wireless.radio0.country=00 uci set wireless.radio0.disabled=0 uci add wireless wifi-iface uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].device=radio0 uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].ssid='your Wifi name' uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].mode=sta uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].network=wwan uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].encryption=psk2 uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].key='yourSuperSecurePass' uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[-1].disabled=0 uci commit #netwerk interface config uci set network.wwan=interface uci set network.wwan.proto=dhcp uci commit #firewall config uci set firewall.@zone[1].network='wan wan6 wwan' uci commit #reload new config /etc/init.d/network reload && /etc/init.d/firewall reload && wifi
- Reconnect to OpenWRT
An additional wireless connection with your own WiFi is made in 'sta' mode. Because OpenWrt (and PirateBox) are using the IP Address: 192.168.1.1 and Netmask: 255.255.255.0 (= /24) the network (WiFi) you are connecting to can't use the same netmask.
- Verify your internet connection using
ping google.com opkg update
1. Setup Mounts
- Format sdcard to ext4
opkg update && opkg install -d ram e2fsprogs export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/lib:/usr/lib:/tmp/lib:/tmp/usr/lib' export PATH="$PATH:/tmp/bin:/tmp/sbin:/usr/sbin" /tmp/usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkdir /mnt/ext mkdir /mnt/usb mkdir /mnt/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda1 -xf - uci add fstab mount uci set fstab.@mount[-1].target=/overlay uci set fstab.@mount[-1].device=/dev/sda1 uci set fstab.@mount[-1].fstype=ext4 uci set fstab.@mount[-1].options=rw,sync uci set fstab.@mount[-1].enabled=1 uci set fstab.@mount[-1].enabled_fsck=0 uci commit reboot
- Reconnect to OpenWRT
2. Setup extendRoot and Piratebox
echo "src/gz piratebox http://stable.openwrt.piratebox.de/all/packages" >> /etc/opkg.conf sed 's|option check_signature 1||g' -i /etc/opkg.conf opkg update opkg install extendRoot sed -i 's|ext_linktarget="/usr/local"|ext_linktarget=""|g' /etc/ext.config opkg install piratebox
- Connection will be closed, reconnect to ssid piratebox with fixed ip on client pc.
- IP: 192.168.1.2
- GW: 192.168.1.1
- finish install with:
/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop /etc/init.d/lighttpd disable sed -i 's|/dev/loop1|/dev/loop0|g' /usr/share/piratebox/piratebox.common /etc/init.d/piratebox init /etc/init.d/piratebox start chmod a+w /opt/piratebox/share/tmp /etc/init.d/piratebox enable reboot
Install Imageboard
- This is a password YOU set.
opkg install piratebox-mod-imageboard /opt/piratebox/bin/board-autoconf.sh
Install Minidlna
opkg update opkg install minidlna cp /opt/piratebox/src/openwrt.example.minidlna /etc/config/minidlna /etc/init.d/minidlna start /etc/init.d/minidlna enable
Enable LuCI and Turn off Internet connection
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start /etc/init.d/uhttpd enable uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].disabled=1 uci commit
All done!
reboot
- Return your Client PC back to its original IP settings.
