agusalex/modem_reboot repository overview

⁠ModemReboot

Puppeteer container for rebooting Modems

• Reboot your modem on a schedule using Cron.
• The specific navigation for your modem will vary,
• This is more of an example and isn't guaranteed to work for your particular modem.
• Many thanks to https://github.com/mbierman⁠ 's post⁠ and https://stackoverflow.com/users/6870228/keith⁠
• Feel free to make a PR to add your own modem's script
• If no CRON Env var is passed it will reboot upon first run and then quit

⁠Modem List:

Set this as your SCRIPT Env var

By default will run example.js you can change that by setting SCRIPT parameter.

⁠Environmental Variables

⁠Running

If your modem is already supported, run this container with these ENV options :

docker run -it -e URL=URL -e USER=USER -e PASS=PASS -e SCRIPT=yourModem.js -e CRON="* * * * *" agusalex/modemReboot

Otherwise see the next section

⁠Configuring it for your own modem model

To debug with your particular modem first install nodeJs then install dependencies:

npm install puppeteer date-and-time is-docker

And run it: node app.js

Finally when you have it ready, make a PR or create an Issue with your script and I will add it.

If you want to build your own docker container thats easy too:

docker build -t "myModemRebooter" .

docker run -it -e URL=URL -e USER=USER -e PASS=PASS -e SCRIPT=yourModem.js -e CRON="* * * * *" myModemRebooter

⁠Tips

Open the developer tools in the browser, inspect element click it and get the ID then you can use it.

For example login-button is the id of the button:

const form = await page.$('#login-button'); await form.evaluate( form => form.click() );

If the element does not have an ID, after inspecting it right click on the DOM of the element and select Copy Selector

Then you can use it like so:

cpage.click( "OUTPUT FROM COPY SELECTOR" )

⁠Future Work

In order for this to be usefull we need as many Modem models scripts as possible, this cant be done without the help of others
