Provides information from OpenWRT

widget:
  type: openwrt
  url: http://host.or.ip
  username: homepage
  password: pass
  interfaceName: eth0 # optional

Interface#

Setting interfaceName (e.g. eth0) will display information for that particular device, otherwise the widget will display general system info.

Authorization#

In order for homepage to access the OpenWRT RPC endpoints you will need to create an ACL and new user in OpenWRT.

Create an ACL named homepage.json in /usr/share/rpcd/acl.d/, the following permissions will suffice:

{
  "homepage": {
    "description": "Homepage widget",
    "read": {
      "ubus": {
        "network.interface.wan": ["status"],
        "network.interface.lan": ["status"],
        "network.device": ["status"],
        "system": ["info"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a crypt(5) password hash using the following command in the OpenWRT shell:

uhttpd -m "<somepassphrase>"

Then add a user that will use the ACL and hashed password in /etc/config/rpcd:

config login
        option username 'homepage'
        option password '<hashedpassword>'
        list read homepage

This username and password will be used in Homepage's services.yaml to grant access.
