Summary
Please include opennds (and optionally luci-app-opennds) in the OpenMPTCProuter package repositories built for apk (and legacy opkg where still used), so captive portal setups are possible without a full custom image.
Context / motivation
opennds is the maintained successor to NoDogSplash and is widely used on OpenWrt for captive portal / splash scenarios.
- On a current OpenMPTCProuter image (v0.63-6.12,
aarch64_cortex-a53, apk-tools), the package index (~1173 packages) does not contain:
opennds
nodogsplash
luci-app-opennds
- Attempting installation fails with “no such package”, same class of issue as other optional packages not shipped in the OMR feed (e.g.
irqbalance).
Requested packages
| Package |
Role |
opennds |
Captive portal daemon (routing / splash / FAS integration as per upstream) |
luci-app-opennds (optional) |
LuCI UI for configuration, if feasible for the build |
Target
- At minimum the
aarch64 / filogic (and similar) targets used by current release images.
- Ideally aligned with the same feeds already published under e.g.
packages.openmptcprouter.com / download.openmptcprouter.com for the active release line.
References
- Upstream OpenWrt packages feed:
opennds (see openwrt/packages).
- Operators integrating a portal usually expect these packages to be installable at runtime via the package manager.
Notes
- If full
opennds is problematic (size, dependencies), documenting why it is excluded and suggesting an alternative (or a minimal captive solution) would still help adopters.
Thank you for considering this.
