Gluon Status Scripts for Servers

These scripts are replacements for the respondd and gluon-alfred packages in Gluon that can be used on servers (like gateways) to broadcast the information needed to for example display the name of the server on node maps.

Dependencies

• lsb_release
• ethtool
• python3 (>= 3.3)
• If using alfred: alfred binary in PATH

Setup

clone https://github.com/ffnord/mesh-announce /opt/mesh-announce

Alfred

Open the Alfred port UDP 16962 in your firewall. Add announce.sh to your cronjobs, and let it run every minute, e.g.

=/opt/alfred/:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:$PATH /opt/mesh-announce/announce.sh

Respondd

Assuming you are using systemd, copy the respondd.service file to /etc/systemd/system/. Open the copy and adapt the path to your checkout of the repository and the interface names in the line starting with ExecStart=. Afterwards, start the service and optionally set it to autostart:

emctl daemon-reload
emctl start respondd
tostart on boot
emctl enable respondd

Furthermore, you have to open UDP port 1001 in your IPv6 firewall for all mesh and B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced interfaces. Please don't open the port globally, as it can be used for traffic amplification attacks. You also might want to ratelimit it on the allowed interfaces for the same reason.
