July 2025 Monthly Summary – freifunk-berlin/bbb-configs Key outcomes focused on simplifying and hardening the mesh network configuration, expanding scalable deployment capabilities, and fixing interface behavior for Zyxel devices. Key achievements delivered this month: 1) LAN mesh reconfiguration: VLAN-based meshing added to hway.yml, with adjusted tunnel prefixes and removal of explicit Quad9 DNS settings and the secondary WireGuard tunnel to reduce misconfiguration and maintenance effort. Commits: 53e0480bb17bc16a23ccdddd7d9c02617b861914; muggel: remove 2nd tunnel, use default DNS (be542389645e4e0fc5ec7c4249cfde609645b0fb). 2) Pod-based mesh expansion with Podman: Provisioned new hosts podone and podtwo for the mesh network, configured mesh and management interfaces, enabled Podman on podtwo, and wired Podman networking (podman0) and firewall driver to support containerized management. Commits: 4a91216a3af8a83d9b7443c74ffe282355abda03; podtwo: init another vm/container host (a383ccdc363896914cf5412b29dc607ed9811473); podtwo: set up basic podman stuff (c35ff13ec0db86a67b75ad867dfc1ee6449c9f29). 3) Zyxel single-port DSA handling fix: Corrected port behavior by defining dsa_ports as 'lan' for Zyxel NWA50AX/NWA55AXE, reducing misrouting and ensuring stable LAN interfaces. Commit: b65bce976ec43dcbfd35c6829919314f2dc70a46. 4) Overall impact and 技rowth: These changes reduce configuration errors, enable scalable mesh deployment, and improve operational reliability. Demonstrated technologies: YAML/Net config adjustments, VLAN-based meshing, WireGuard tuning, Podman container networking, firewall driver integration, and Zyxel DSA port handling.
