That sweet satisfaction of something actually working


!OpenWrt - Big shout out to egc on the #openwrt forum - forum.openwrt.org/u/egc/summar… - Who helped me sort out some wireguard routing issues that have been bugging me for ages!

Yesterday I sat down and spun up a test harness of openwrt to try to figure out how to get policy based routing working with wireguard and after a day bashing my head against a brick wall egc provided the clarrification, knowledge and experience I needed to sort this out.

Here's the chat - forum.openwrt.org/t/wireguard-… - yeah I didn't get it at first but feels so good to finally work this out.

hah, the story was I was running some Docker container on my openwrt router to update some Hetzner DDNS zones. Thought it was really inefficient to have a complete docker stack on the router just for that purpose, so hacked up a quick script and created a PR to integrate Hetzner into ddns-scripts package! Glad someone other than me is using my work. Let me know if you get it working or not.

Well I'm home.. I've got my test harness updated with #Openwrt 25.12.1 and its running (so the scripts etc on openwrt are all looking good - but - oh yeah you actually need to move the zone file to the cloud API right.. Ops. No problem - unless of course you are right in the middle of a #brownout during the #hetznerdnsapi shutdown..

This does actually point to another issue. I'm going to have to move all devices that use same zone file at the same time. (Obvious in retrospect) - Luckily I run a few domains so I can test a bit with one first.
