   9 ## Run
  10
  11 * Checkput the repository and change to the project directory
  12 * Start webserver (e.g. `python3 -m http.server`)
  13 * Go to `http://localhost:8000/www/` in your web browser
  14
  15 Configure with [config.js](www/config.js).

  17 ## Attended Sysupgrade Support
  18
  19 This firmware selector can speak to a [ASU server](https://github.com/aparcar/asu) to build custom images. To enable the feature, the `asu_url` option in the config.js needs to be set.

  21 ## Update Database
  22
  23 The `overview.json` files are based on JSON files created by OpenWrt
  24 (master): `Global build settings  ---> [*] Create JSON info files per build
  25 image`.
  26
  27 A [Python script](misc/collect.py) is included to merge the JSON files:
  28 `./collect.py bin/ --url
  29 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/{version}/targets/{target}' >
  30 overview.json`.
  31
  32 For the OpenWrt 18.06 and 19.07 releases, you need to patch OpenWrt to output JSON files for collect.py (commit [openwrt/openwrt@881ed09](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/881ed09ee6e23f6c224184bb7493253c4624fb9f)).
