How to install standard OpenWRT packages in recent Teltonika RUTOS versions
Problem
In recent versions of Teltonika RUTOS, the package manager has been replaced with a custom solution.
This means, that you can’t install most of the standard OpenWRT packages using opkg
anymore. For example, you can’t install tcpdump
using
opkg_update_install.sh
opkg update
opkg install rsync
Solution
You can still install standard OpenWRT packages by using opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf
Example:
opkg_distfeeds_install.sh
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install rsync
This works around the limitations imposed by the default system configuration by using the distfeeds
(i.e. normal OpenWRT) package feed directly.
