GL-iNet MT1300 Router Plugin

This project automates the creation of add-on software packages for the GL-iNet MT1300 router. Think of it like an app store for your router — instead of manually compiling code yourself, this project builds pre-made applications that you can install on your device with a few clicks.

The MT1300 is a portable WiFi router, and by default it comes with basic networking features. This project lets you expand what your router can do by adding several popular tools: Passwall and SSR Plus (which help manage how your internet traffic is routed), Frpc and NPS (for creating secure tunnels to remote servers), and Unblockneteasemusic (for accessing music services that might be geographically restricted). The project downloads the official GL-iNet router source code, compiles these add-ons for the specific hardware, and packages them so they're ready to install.

To use it, you'd start with the official firmware from GL-iNet, then download the pre-built plugins from this project's releases page and upload them to your router. The installation is straightforward — your router has a web interface where you can add new packages. One nice feature is that you can install multiple tools at once; you're not limited to picking just one.

The README notes that if your router runs out of storage space after installing plugins, there are solutions available through OpenWrt's overlay system. The project also lists some basic system packages you might want to install for troubleshooting or managing your router from the command line.

This is useful for people who want to enhance their GL-iNet router beyond its default capabilities without having to learn how to compile firmware themselves. The project saves that technical work by providing pre-compiled, ready-to-install packages.
