vnstat

Rinaldus · May 29, 2016 at 12:24 PM

I'd like to have network traffic statistic for my Raspberry Pi 2. The best program for it, that I know, is vnstat. Is avaiable to add it to LibreElec source and then recompile it? As I understood, LibreElec is based on Buildroot. I saw vnstat there. If I copy that package from Buildroot to LibreElec, would I succeed to add vnstat? Or should I do something more for it?

LibreELEC is not based on buildroot so their packages will not translate directly. We loosely follow the recipe principles from Welcome to Linux From Scratch! but the main source of instruction is "prior art" in the current buildsystem.

It could be that simple

Code

LibreELEC:~ #
LibreELEC:~ # vnstat
-sh: vnstat: not found
LibreELEC:~ #
LibreELEC:~ # # No vnstat? Then let's try another way
LibreELEC:~ #
LibreELEC:~ # opkg install vnstat
