Installing Logship Agent on OpenWRT

Prerequisites

• Ensure your OpenWRT device has internet access.
• Install dependencies

opkg update
opkg install unzip

Download the Agent

Download the latest release from GitHub:

mkdir logship-agent
cd logship-agent
wget https://github.com/logship-io/logship-agent/releases/download/v0.9.12/LogshipAgent-linux-musl-arm64.zip -O logship-agent.zip
unzip logship-agent.zip
chmod +x Logship.Agent.ConsoleHost
mkdir -p /etc/logship-agent
mv Logship.Agent.ConsoleHost /etc/logship-agent/Logship.Agent.ConsoleHost
echo "==============================================="
echo " IMPORTANT! Update your account id"
echo "==============================================="
echo "Replacing logship endpoint"
sed -i 's/http:\/\/localhost:5000/REPLACE_ME/g' appsettings.json
echo "Replacing account id"
sed -i 's/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/REPLACE_ME/g' appsettings.json
mv appsettings.json /etc/logship-agent/appsettings.json
echo "Cleaning up"
cd ..
rm -rf logship-agent

Create a Service

Create an init script at /etc/init.d/logship-agent:

cat <<'EOF' > /etc/init.d/logship-agent
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
START=99
STOP=01
USE_PROCD=1
start_service() {
    logger -t myservice "Starting logship agent..."
    procd_open_instance
    procd_set_param command /bin/sh -c "cd /etc/logship-agent && /etc/logship-agent/Logship.Agent.ConsoleHost"
    procd_set_param file /etc/logship-agent/appsettings.json
    procd_set_param stdout 1 # forward stdout of the command to logd
    procd_set_param stderr 1 # same for stderr
    procd_close_instance
}
stop_service() {
    logger -t myservice "Stopping logship agent..."
    killall Logship.Agent.ConsoleHost
}
EOF
chmod +x /etc/init.d/logship-agent

Enable and Start the Service

/etc/init.d/logship-agent enable
/etc/init.d/logship-agent start

The Logship agent should now run as a service on your OpenWRT device.

Just a note, the default configuration is likely not what you're looking for.
