Travo is a mobile-first web UI for OpenWrt on compact travel routers (for example GL.iNet Beryl AX / Slate-class devices, or any recent aarch64 or x86_64 OpenWrt 23.05+ build). It wraps day-to-day tasks—WiFi, hotel captive portals, upstream links, VPN, DNS filtering—in a focused dashboard while LuCI stays available for full OpenWrt administration.

Stack and shape

The project is a pnpm monorepo: a React SPA (Vite, TanStack Query/Router, shared TypeScript types) in front of a Go API on Fiber. The backend talks to the router through the usual OpenWrt surfaces (UCI, ubus, package tooling), so behavior stays close to how the system is meant to be configured.

Why not only LuCI?

LuCI is the reference UI for OpenWrt. On a phone, or when you only need “join this hotel WiFi” or “toggle WireGuard,” a slimmer UI helps. Travo is built to coexist with LuCI: the documented install path can put Travo on port 80 and move LuCI to another port (see the upstream README for the exact layout and ports, including optional AdGuard Home).

What you get

  • Dashboard with live stats and quick actions
  • WiFi: scan, connect, mode switching (client / repeater / AP), aligned with safe apply patterns where wireless changes are involved
  • Captive portals: detection and streamlined hotel login flows
  • VPN: WireGuard- and Tailscale-oriented workflows
  • Services: install and manage extras such as AdGuard Home from the UI
  • System: network, DNS, and firewall-related settings where the project exposes them
  • Theming: light / dark, responsive layout

For the canonical feature list and security notes, use the README on GitHub .

Install on a router

SSH to the device and run:

wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raydak-labs/travo/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Then change any default credentials immediately (the README documents defaults such as AdGuard’s initial login).

Pre-built binaries and .ipk packages for aarch64 and x86_64 are on GitHub Releases .

Develop locally

Clone github.com/raydak-labs/travo , install Node (≥ 20), pnpm (≥ 9), and Go (≥ 1.23) as documented there, then pnpm install, cd backend && go mod tidy, and make dev. Use make test, make lint, and make build before contributing; see CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo. Docker Compose is supported for a containerized dev loop.

Ports, install options, and rollout details can change; treat this post as an overview and follow the upstream README and deployment docs for the current picture.
