SnapRAID for OpenWrt

Prebuilt SnapRAID 14.9 OpenWrt packages, cross-compiled for every OpenWrt architecture (release 25.12.5) and published automatically as an apk package repository.

• ⚙️ Built with the official OpenWrt SDK (musl libc).
• 🗂️ apk format (OpenWrt 25.1+); one directory per architecture.
• 🤖 Auto-built & re-published on every new upstream SnapRAID release (daily).
• 📄 Includes the upstream English man pages (man snapraid).

Add the repo & trust key (OpenWrt 25.1+, apk)

The repository is served from the gh-pages branch: https://aseracorp.github.io/snapraid-openwrt/<arch>/packages.adb

<arch> is your device's OpenWrt package architecture (e.g. aarch64_cortex-a72, x86_64, mipsel_24kc). Find it with apk arch or from the fw-selector.

One-time setup (replace <arch> with the real value):

# 1. Install the repository verification public key (required for trust)
mkdir -p /etc/apk/keys
wget -O /etc/apk/keys/dc721b66b4af2424.pub \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aseracorp/snapraid-openwrt/main/keys/dc721b66b4af2424.pub

# 2. Add the repository (URL must end in /packages.adb and match YOUR arch)
echo "https://aseracorp.github.io/snapraid-openwrt/aarch64_cortex-a72/packages.adb" \
  > /etc/apk/repositories.d/customfeeds.list

# 3. Refresh the index and install
apk update
apk add snapraid

Important: include the trailing /packages.adb and use your exact architecture. If you point apk at a bare directory it falls back to Alpine's APKINDEX.tar.gz layout against the wrong /<arch>/ path and fails. The URL must name the index directly — this matches how OpenWrt's own feeds are configured (.../packages/<arch>/base/packages.adb).

All published architectures

Each folder below is present at the repo root https://aseracorp.github.io/snapraid-openwrt/:

aarch64_cortex-a53   aarch64_cortex-a72   aarch64_cortex-a76
aarch64_generic      arm_arm1176jzf-s_vfp  arm_arm926ej-s
arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4  arm_cortex-a5_vfpv4  arm_cortex-a7
arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4   arm_cortex-a7_vfpv4  arm_cortex-a8_vfpv3
arm_cortex-a9        arm_cortex-a9_neon   arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3-d16

powerpc64_e5500      powerpc_464fp        powerpc_8548
riscv64_generic      x86_64

Each folder contains:

• snapraid-<ver>.apk – the package
• packages.adb – the apk package index (OpenWrt v3 / adb format)
• packages.adb.sig – index signature
• <keyid>.pub – the repo public key

---

Usage

snapraid --version
man snapraid

Start with the sample config:

cp /usr/share/doc/snapraid/snapraid.conf.example /etc/snapraid.conf
nano /etc/snapraid.conf
snapraid sync
snapraid status

---

If the package is unsigned

If apk reports UNTRUSTED signature, the publishing signing key wasn't configured. Install with trust disabled:

apk add --allow-untrusted --repository \
  https://aseracorp.github.io/snapraid-openwrt/<arch>/packages.adb snapraid

---

Build it yourself

Via feeds.conf:

src-git snapraid https://github.com/aseracorp/snapraid-openwrt.git

./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install snapraid
make menuconfig       # select Utilities > snapraid
make package/snapraid/compile

Or drop package/snapraid/Makefile into an SDK and build:

mkdir -p package/snapraid
cp package/snapraid/Makefile package/snapraid/
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_snapraid=y" >> .config
make defconfig
make package/snapraid/compile

---

CI / release workflow

.github/workflows/build.yml:

• Runs daily, on manual dispatch, and on pushes to the package.
• Builds SnapRAID with the matching OpenWrt 25.12.5 SDK for every architecture, signs the index, and pushes the assembled repo to gh-pages.

Setting up package signing

usign -G -s private.key -p keys/<KEYID>.pub   # create a keypair once
base64 < private.key                          # value for the repo secret

1. Commit keys/<KEYID>.pub.
2. Add the base64 private key as the repo secret APK_SIGNING_KEY.
3. Set KEYID in the workflow env.

Until a signing key is configured, packages are published unsigned.
