Month: 2025-12 | Repo: freifunk-berlin/bbb-configs Key accomplishment: DHCP Domain Name Change for Enhanced Network Management. The DHCP domain was changed from 'lan' to 'ff' to improve network management capabilities, implemented by updating the DHCP template. Commit: b0eb9cbcfea32648237d672ec2bf9a74027bed8a (templates: dhcp config: set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].domain to ff). Signed-off-by: Perry Melange. Impact: This change reduces configuration fragmentation, simplifies troubleshooting, and improves consistency across devices and networks. Helps downstream services and client devices resolve and apply correct domain settings more reliably. No major bugs fixed in this period.
