# OctopusNet

Master branch contains original system which needs an ubuntu 16.04 LTS to build due to its age (2015!)
There is a new branch available called octonet-ng which brings the octonet to recent LTS Kernel 6.12.81 and buildroot 2025.02 LTS. Building and flashing works the same for both systems

Initiate update from the OctopusNet

Note 1: I included a python webserver which enables you to update the octopus-net firmware without having a webserver installed. See octoupdateserver directory. Just run it with python3 and have the octonet directory at the same level at the server. (this script needs to be run as root as it needs access to port 80). Please add the filename of the image you want to flash into the script.

Note: for security reasons only private ip addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168,0.0/16) are accepted
