Changelog

All notable changes to the Alpine 5G Router project are documented here.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • Config file /etc/5g-router.conf (and etc/5g-router.conf.example) for APN, interfaces, failover, watchdog, signal logging.
  • Configurable APN and interfaces configure_fm350_5g.sh and connect-5g.sh read from config; defaults remain CYTA/eth1/eth0.100.
  • USB mode check on boot Scripts detect Mode 41 (7127), warn and attempt switch to Mode 40 (with modem reset).
  • Signal strength logging Optional LOG_SIGNAL=yes and WEAK_SIGNAL_CSQ in config; logged to /var/log/5g-router.log.
  • Fallback to eth0 Optional FAILOVER_ENABLED=yes and FAILOVER_IF=eth0 so default route uses ethernet when 5G is down.
  • Watchdog Optional WATCHDOG_INTERVAL in config to re-run connection periodically.
  • Firewall rules in repo etc/iptables/rules.v4 for repeatable NAT/forward rules.
  • connect-5g.sh in repo scripts/connect-5g.sh (installed to /usr/local/bin/connect-5g.sh).
  • OpenRC service in repo etc/init.d/5g-router for Alpine.
  • Install script scripts/install.sh deploys scripts, service, firewall, and config example to the device.
  • DNS documentation docs/DNS.md for resolv.conf and dnsmasq.
  • Status script scripts/status-5g.sh (modem, interface, default route, last speedtest); supports --json.
  • Health check script scripts/healthcheck-5g.sh for Nagios/Uptime Kuma (exit 0/1).
  • Log rotation scripts/rotate-5g-log.sh for /var/log/5g-router.log (cron-friendly; Alpine has no logrotate by default).
  • Optional speedtest cron scripts/speedtest-5g.sh appends to /var/log/speedtest-5g.log; document cron in README.
  • Quick start docs/QUICKSTART.md (clone → install → config → start).
  • Deploy / SSH doc docs/DEPLOY.md for first-time SSH and key-based login.
  • Example config etc/5g-router.conf.example for different carriers/interfaces.

Changed

  • configure_fm350_5g.sh Sources /etc/5g-router.conf if present; USB Mode 41 handling (warn + try switch); signal logging and weak-signal alert when enabled in config.

Notes

  • Persist default route Handled by running connect-5g.sh at boot via 5g-router service; failover adds eth0 default when 5G fails.
  • Dual-WAN / failover Basic failover (use eth0 when 5G down) is implemented; full dual-WAN policy routing is not.
  • IPv6 Not implemented; carrier and kernel support required; can be added later.
  • Web GUI Implemented with login (admin/support), per-page templates, and SQLite backend.
  • SQLite database web/data/alpine5g.db for users, iptables_rules, and static_routes. Users migrated from users.json on first run; firewall rules seeded from /etc/iptables/rules.v4 when DB is empty. Firewall and Routes GUI: list/add/edit/delete from DB; Apply writes iptables and runs iptables-restore, or runs ip route add for routes.
