# OpenWrt RMM Agent
Production MVP shell agent for OpenWrt, plus an experimental Go agent preview.
The agent uses outbound HTTP polling:
1. Enrolls with the server using an enrollment token.
2. Sends heartbeat with inventory and metrics.
3. Receives queued commands from the heartbeat response.
4. Executes only allowlisted commands.
5. Sends command results back to the server.
## Config
Default config path:
```sh
/etc/rmm-agent.conf
```
Example:
```sh
SERVER_URL="https://rmm.example.com"
ENROLLMENT_TOKEN="paste-a-one-time-grant-from-your-account"
INTERVAL_SECONDS="30"
TUNNEL_IDENTITY_FILE="/etc/rmm-agent/tunnel_key"
```
After enrollment the agent writes:
```sh
DEVICE_ID="..."
DEVICE_TOKEN="..."
```
## Run
```sh
sh ./agent/openwrt/rmm-agent.sh
```
## Go Agent Preview
The Go agent lives at:
```text
agent/go/cmd/rmm-agent
```
It is protocol-compatible with the server for enrollment, heartbeat, inventory, metrics, command polling, command result reporting, lock handling, backoff, graceful shutdown, and result spooling. Its inventory payload includes system metadata, interfaces, routes, WAN IP, DHCP leases, Wi-Fi clients, memory, disk, interface counters, package manager metadata, and connectivity checks.
The Go agent is not packaged as the production OpenWrt agent yet, but it supports the migrated command allowlist:
- `ping`
- `traceroute`
- `route_show`
- `interfaces_show`
- `reboot`
- `service_restart`
- `pkg_list_installed` / `opkg_list_installed`
- `pkg_update` / `opkg_update`
- `pkg_list_upgradable` / `opkg_list_upgradable`
- `pkg_install` / `opkg_install`
- `pkg_remove` / `opkg_remove`
- `uci_show`
- `uci_backup`
- `uci_preview`
- `uci_set`
- `uci_commit`
- `uci_commit_confirmed`
- `uci_revert`
- `uci_restore`
- `remote_ssh_reverse`
- `remote_ssh_close`
Other queued commands are reported as failed with a clear message.
Build locally:
```sh
go build -o ./tmp/rmm-agent-go ./agent/go/cmd/rmm-agent
```
Run once against an existing config:
```sh
./tmp/rmm-agent-go -config /etc/rmm-agent.conf -once
```
For side-by-side testing, use a separate config and hostname suffix so the Go preview enrolls as a separate device:
```sh
cp /etc/rmm-agent.conf /etc/rmm-agent-go.conf
sed -i '/^DEVICE_ID=/d;/^DEVICE_TOKEN=/d' /etc/rmm-agent-go.conf
cat >>/etc/rmm-agent-go.conf <<'EOF'
HOSTNAME_SUFFIX="-go"
LOCK_FILE="/tmp/rmm-agent-go.lock"
SPOOL_DIR="/tmp/rmm-agent-go-results"
BACKUP_DIR="/tmp/rmm-agent-go-backups"
TUNNEL_STATE_DIR="/tmp/rmm-agent-go-tunnels"
EOF
./tmp/rmm-agent-go -config /etc/rmm-agent-go.conf -once
```
Side-by-side procd service:
```sh
cp ./tmp/rmm-agent-go /usr/bin/rmm-agent-go
chmod +x /usr/bin/rmm-agent-go
cp ./agent/openwrt/rmm-agent-go.init /etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go
chmod +x /etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go
cp ./agent/openwrt/rmm-agent-go.conf /etc/rmm-agent-go.conf
vi /etc/rmm-agent-go.conf
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go enable
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go start
```
The side-by-side service uses `/etc/rmm-agent-go.conf`, `/tmp/rmm-agent-go.lock`, `/tmp/rmm-agent-go-results`, `/tmp/rmm-agent-go-backups`, and `/tmp/rmm-agent-go-tunnels` so it does not collide with the shell agent.
Production switch from the shell agent to the Go agent:
```sh
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent stop
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent disable
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go stop 2>/dev/null || true
cp /usr/bin/rmm-agent-go /usr/bin/rmm-agent
chmod +x /usr/bin/rmm-agent
cp ./agent/openwrt/rmm-agent-go-production.init /etc/init.d/rmm-agent
chmod +x /etc/init.d/rmm-agent
sed -i '/^HOSTNAME_SUFFIX=/d;/^HOSTNAME_OVERRIDE=/d;/^LOCK_FILE=/d;/^SPOOL_DIR=/d;/^BACKUP_DIR=/d;/^TUNNEL_STATE_DIR=/d' /etc/rmm-agent.conf
rm -rf /tmp/rmm-agent.lock
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent enable
/etc/init.d/rmm-agent start
```
This keeps the existing `/etc/rmm-agent.conf`, including `DEVICE_ID` and `DEVICE_TOKEN`, so the router continues as the same RMM object instead of enrolling as a duplicate `-go` device. Keep the shell script backup until the Go service has been stable for at least one maintenance window.
## OpenWrt Package
Package skeleton:
```text
agent/package/rmm-agent
agent/package/rmm-agent-go
agent/package/rmm-agent-go-production
```
The shell package installs `/usr/bin/rmm-agent`, `/etc/init.d/rmm-agent`, and `/etc/rmm-agent.conf`.
The Go package installs `/usr/bin/rmm-agent-go`, `/etc/init.d/rmm-agent-go`, and `/etc/rmm-agent-go.conf`.
The production Go package installs `/usr/bin/rmm-agent`, `/etc/init.d/rmm-agent`, and `/etc/rmm-agent.conf` using the Go runtime instead of the shell script.
For Docker Compose reverse SSH access, install the generated tunnel private key at `/etc/rmm-agent/tunnel_key` with mode `600`. The agent automatically uses it for `remote_ssh_reverse`.
