URD on a router?

[skynetbbs]

It would be kewl if URD were to be ported to an openwrt router like the Fonera 2 (it has usb support)
Examples of how they got torrents running using Transmission can be found on www.fonosfera.org

they also created a firefox plugin so you can click on eg a nzb,torrent, ftp,http file and it will be send to the fonera to start downloading...

rapidshare/megadownload is also allready supported

only NZB & E2DK not yet

If you can make the router run mysql, php + all its required modules, it should actually run just fine. Although, indexing maybe a bit heavy (not needed for just nzbs) and par2/unrar may be too much for the processor.

php/mysql should be possible; they exist for openwrt;
but everyone will tell you to not use it since those libraries are huge...and whatever you want to do can be done in luci/lua in only a few kilobytes of code ...

no idea about unpar performance...not even sure if it's needed?

So you're saying it would be nice if we completely rewrote URD to a relatively obscure programming language so it can run on OpenWRT routers

It would be nice indeed but I don't see this ever happening. We are aiming at maximum compatibility by using a universally used webscripting language (PHP), together with the most commonly used database system (mySQL) and tools (unrar etc).

Yes, it is bloated if you consider it as a whole, but the supported modules are also the upside: Adding new features is relatively easy because you only need to add in an existing module and use it. If you go for uber lean and mean, you would have to write everything yourself.

Ofcourse we're willing to make some tweaks that will allow URD to run on more systems, but you're talking about rewriting 80% of the code which will take months and will only support one extra type of device. We'd be more likely to rewrite everything in C++

perhaps urdland works when I install this:
php5 - 5.0.5-1 -
php5-cgi - 5.0.5-1 -
php5-mod-gd - 5.0.5-1 -
php5-mod-mysql - 5.0.5-1 -
php5-mod-sqlite - 5.0.5-1 -
lighttpd - 1.4.11-1 -
lighttpd-mod-cgi - 1.4.11-1 --

any experience with eg sqlite?
is gd a required library?

its's not 1 device;
openwrt is used by most "linux" based routers
linksys wrt54, dlink Dir-..., as well :-)

These are the modules I check for at startup (* are optional)

curl
openssl *
pcntl
pcre
posix
sockets
SPL
xmlrpc*

I don't think gd is a requirement. but you do need php 5.2.1 or better.

I'd like to support sqllite3, but php does not support it yet in the commonly used versions (5.2.x). I'd like to switch to php 5.3.0 or even 6.0.0 but currently it isn't in most repositories... and sqllite doesn't work with urd... I tried that.

par2 and unrar are not really required, but then you've to verify and unrar everything by hand.

lighttpd should not be a problem... never tested it tho.

they may be compiled in to php ... run php -m to see all modules
