Thanks, working fine now.
Currently running a dangerous auto update with easyddup.ini
Code:
EDDUP_ERASE_NVRAM=N
EDDUP_SAVE_SETTINGS=Y
EDDUP_AUTO_CONFIRM=Y
EDDUP_AUTO_SELECT_LATEST=Y
EDDUP_AUTO_SELECT_FILE='asus_rt-ac68u-firmware.trx'
EDDUP_HARDWARE_FOLDER="asus-rt-ac68u"


And a cron job of
Code:
01 01 * * * root /opt/easyddup/easyddup.sh


This will of course break my router if the latest build is bad - which I expect to occur quite often. Any thoughts on how to decrease the risk of using a bad build?

Currently considering a heuristic based on how long the latest build has existed (e.g. more than 10 days should mean nothing horribly wrong with the build in general).

Good idea. Something like below that defaults to zero and prevents showing bleeding edge builds.

#EDDUP_WAIT_FOR_DAYS=7

If you do something general please share and all could benefit.

And then this in the ini
Code:
EDDUP_AUTO_SELECT_MIN_AGE=259200 #72h in seconds


This version only affects auto updates and prevents the update if the release is too new.
I decided against hiding releases from users as it would not make a difference as they would just see broken releases later (unless the broken release was pulled), this would not help my auto-update scenario.
I realize that this may not match other use cases, so feel free to adapt this.

Also, any reason for not using github? would be nice

New version 0.9.5 (March 14th).

Changes:

Include @Mrutin's feature that allows EDDUP_AUTO_SELECT_LATEST to have a waiting period to avoid automatically installing potentially bad builds. See easyddup.ini.sample for example use:

Code:
EDDUP_AUTO_SELECT_MIN_AGE=259200 #72h in seconds

Thank you @Mrutin, great idea and implementation!

Upgrade automatically with checknewversion.sh or download/install manually.

You have 0.9 so you still have to manually update once but version 0.9.1 and beyond has a self update feature built into checknewversion.sh. Page 15 of this thread explains how to enable it (find EASYDDUPSELFUPDATE).

Trick:
Once you have the self-update capable current version 0.9.5 you can pretend to have 0.9.4 with:
Code:
echo 0.9.4 > VERSION.txt

If self-update is configured correctly the following with bring VERSION.txt back to 0.9.5
Code:
# checknewversion.sh
Upgrading easyddup from version 0.9.4 to version 0.9.5
Getting latest easyddup package from dd-wrt forum.
Installing and running new easyddup version 0.9.5

Probably but it was made in 2019 so not sure it runs on a 2016 dd-wrt version. Try running with -n
Code:
./easyddup.sh -n
and say no to the question about erasing nvram. It will go through the motions but won't actually upgrade the firmware.

If all goes well and you actually want to upgrade then lose the -n and say yes to erasing nvram since it's such a big jump in versions.
