It's been some while that i flash my D-Link DIR-620 router with openwrt, but never have additional feature except tried to setup a torrent with it. Just tried to setup a gitolite server with it and hope that someone else will find it useful for following information:
- Setup USB Storage. In this case i am using a 8gb USB thumb drive using the following command (i have formated my usb drive into ext4 format):
opkg install kmod-usb-storage block-mount kmod-fs-ext4
- Setup gitolite in the router using the following step :
- Install necessary components
opkg install git perl perlbase-essential perlbase-getopt perlbase-findbin perlbase-cwd perlbase-config perlbase-file perlbase-data perlbase-bytes perlbase-xsloader openssh-keygen perlbase-hostname perlbase-fcntl perlbase-io perlbase-symbol perlbase-selectsaver perlbase-errno perlbase-base
- Backup authorized_keys file if exist
cp -p /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys_backup
- Create directory under mnt and mount usb drive
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/[sda2]/mnt/usb
- Move root to usb and create link
cd /
mv root /mnt/usb
ln -s /mnt/usb/root root
- Download gitolite
cd /root
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
- Install a link to gitolite executable into /usr/bin
gitolite/install -ln /usr/bin
- create gitolite logfile directory
mkdir /root/.gitolite
mkdir /root/.gitolite/logs
- Copy your ssh public key to root, you may use puttykeygen tools to get the single line public key and paste to a new file via vi command
vi yourname.pub
- Setup gitolite
gitolite setup -pk yourname.pub
- now you can remove the public key file and create a link to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys in /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
rm yourname.pub
rm /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
ln -s /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
- now you can admistrate your gitolite by cloning the gitolite-admin repo
git clone root@OpenWRTBox:gitolite-admin
