RouterForge

Русский | English

RouterForge 0.8.0 is a modular web platform for monitoring, DNS diagnostics, management and maintenance on Keenetic / Netcraze routers with Entware.

Core owns the shared Web UI, authentication, App Center, package/release lifecycle and Module ABI host. DNS, Management, Monitoring, Network Tools and Profiling are optional packages connected through root-owned Unix sockets. The only user-facing RouterForge TCP listener is :2233.

Note

Stable 0.8.0 introduces standalone Network Tools, a configurable CPU temperature warning threshold, and corrected module workspace sizing. Core, DNS, Admin, and Network Tools are 0.8.0; unchanged Monitoring and Profiling remain 0.7.1. See Release Notes 0.8.0.

Important

aarch64-3.10 / ARM64 is the primary fully hardware-validated Stable target. mipsel-3.4 has partial physical validation on Keenetic Giga KN-1010 and remains experimental. mips-3.4 remains experimental without physical hardware validation. See docs/ARCHITECTURES.md.

Stable platform highlights

Management v2

• Processes and Entware Services with root-session-protected actions;
• Commander / Explorer File Manager, tree, volumes, UTF-8 editor, properties and visual chmod;
• guarded mkdir/write/move/delete/chmod inside canonical /opt + /tmp;
• Maintenance and backup/restore workflows;
• full Entware Terminal over WebSocket/PTTY;
• Keenetic NDM Console backed by fixed server-side ndmc, never a browser-selected executable;
• Entware ↔ Keenetic switching hardware-validated on Keenetic Ultra KN-1812.

Monitoring

routerforge-monitoring replaces the split System/Thermal/Storage/Network packages with one runtime and one UI while preserving compatibility sockets/APIs for migration.

DNS

routerforge-dns remains an independent Module ABI v1 runtime with resolver control, verified rollback, client attribution, route-aware diagnostics, and compact internal event rings while preserving 10,000 logical retained events.

App Center

RouterForge / Integrations / Entware, guarded lifecycle jobs, preflight metadata, bulk update, exact SHA256 release-index verification and safe local Web UI discovery without blind LAN scans.

Official Stable 0.8.0 packages

Package	Purpose
routerforge-core	Web shell, auth, App Center, Registry/release lifecycle, Module ABI host
routerforge-dns	DNS runtime/UI/control/observability/diagnostics
routerforge-admin	Management v2, File Manager, Maintenance, Entware + Keenetic terminals
routerforge-monitoring	consolidated System/Thermal/Storage/Network runtime + UI
