OpenWrt Upgrade auf 23.05.0 einer FRITZ!Box 4040 - Pain in the Ass!

Das Update meiner FRITZ!Box 4040 auf die aktuellste Version von OpenWrt 23.05.0 war diesmal ein absolutes Disaster. Update war erfolgreich, das Einspielen des Backups ein absolutes Ärgernis❗️Die Box war danach nicht mehr erreichbar, keine LED hat irgendetwas angezeigt, alles war schwarz.

Wer mit OpenWrt zu tun hat, dem ist durchaus bekannt, Upgrades auf neuere Versionen können ihre Tücken haben.

Nach Jahren der unkomplizierten Nutzung und auch Aktualisierung hat es nun auch mal mich erwischt 🤦‍♂️

Aber es gibt durchaus auch Möglichkeiten die FRITZ!Box 4040 wieder mit der Version 23.05.0 zum Laufen zu bekommen.

OpenWRT - Verschlüsselte Zeitsynchronisation mit chrony

chrony is an implementation of the NTP (Network Time Protocol). It has some advantages against the standard ntpd (= Network Time Protocol daemon).

  1. chrony can synchronize to the timeserver much faster than NTP. This is good for laptops or desktops that don't run constantly.
  2. It can compensate for fluctuating clock frequencies, such as when a host hibernates or enters sleep mode, or when the clock speed varies due to frequency stepping that slows clock speeds when loads are low.
  3. It handles intermittent network connections and bandwidth saturation.
  4. It adjusts for network delays and latency.
  5. After the initial time sync, chrony never steps the clock. This ensures stable and consistent time intervals for system services and applications.
  6. chrony can work even without a network connection. In this case, the local host or server can be updated manually.
