A simple set of shell scripts for managing networking on TinyCore Linux
tce-load -wi network
Note: This extension is architecture independent, but hasn't been officially added to TinyCore yet. I've included the packaged extension in the releases Downloads.
The configuration file is located at /usr/local/etc/network.conf. It's a simple key/value file similar to this:
mode=dhcp
interface=eth0
hostname=mybox
ntpserver=pool.ntp.org
mode=static
interface=eth0
ip=192.0.2.2
subnet=255.255.255.0
router=192.0.2.1
dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
hostname=mybox4
ntpserver=pool.ntp.org
mode=static
interface=eth0
ip="2001:db8::2"
subnet_ipv6="/32"
router="2001:db8::1"
dns="2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844"
hostname=mybox6
ntpserver=pool.ntp.org
Notes about IPv6:
- IPv6 support requires the
ipcommand fromiproute2extension:tce-load -wi iproute2 - IPv6 subnet length is defined through
subnet_ipv6 - DHCPv6 is not managed by these scripts, see Dibbler
- Privacy Extensions are not managed by these scripts
To install these scripts manually:
- Copy
network.sh, network_dhcp.sh, network_static.sh, and udhcpc.scriptto/opt/ - Create and edit the config at
/usr/local/etc/network.conf - Add '/opt/network.sh' to
/opt/bootsync.sh - Add the scripts and config file to
/opt/.filetool.lstfor persistence
The network.sh script reads values from network.conf, sets them as temporary environment variables and passes them to either network_static.sh or network_dhcp.sh. Those scripts will use udhcpc to release or renew a DHCP lease.
