How to auto-run code as a service on Asuswrt-Merlin?

[john9527]

I got empty void in the terminal… there was no prompt after.

That's normal when running it in the foreground.....leave it like that and then test it....If it works, then we'll move it to the background (add the -f option)

I found out how to copy binaries from my mac to the Asus RT-AC68U and run them for a test : )
I'll try the different flavours of compiled ARM binaries on the GitHub and see…

You can directly download to the router using wget, e.g.:

wget https://github.com/synfinatic/udp-proxy-2020/releases/download/v0.0.8/udp-proxy-2020-0.0.8-linux-arm32

Saves the intermediate step via your PC.

Well, according to this thread

@mysticalgator: Honestly, it’s not that advanced. The software I referenced is just a simple UDP proxy. It’s more “niche” than advanced and I think that’s what throws people off because there is so little public documentation out there for this sorta thing. @Nepherte: There are a few ways to...

the reason for udp-proxy-2020 is that udp-broadcast-relay didn't work with OpenVPN/tun......sorry for the false hope.

I don't have anything technical to add but I enjoy reading threads where people need and unique solutions to one-off needs. It also feels good to be part of this community where wiliness to help just comes naturally.

Not to boast, but this IS the best community.

OK I see. Thanks for looking into this anyway and thanks to everyone else for the help.
Aaron, the author of the udp-proxy-2020 code, is looking if he can have it built a for ARMv5. We'll see how it goes. If it does I might be back for some advice on how to auto-run at boot.
