Editing Infared Reciever w/ Alpine on the Bulldozer Datto

Had some issues with the bootloader after installing alpine originally, ended up using ventoy's "Local Boot" option to get into my alpine install and then manually installed grub using:
<code>grub-install</code>

<hr>
Now we need to get wifi working: [https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/NetworkManager]

<code>vim /etc/apk/repositories</code> and uncomment the community repo

We'll be needing these packages:

<code>apk add networkmanager networkmanager-wifi wpa_supplicant networkmanager-tui networkmanager-cli</code>

Networkmanager needs udev to work for wifi:

<code>setup-devd udev</code>

<hr>
Getting infared working:

Looks like alpine has some infared tools in a package called:

<code>v4l-utils</code> and <code>ir_keytable</code>

<code>ir-ctl -d /dev/lirc0 -r</code>

running this gets me data when i click ir buttons on some remotes

<hr>


Figured out LIRC, on alpine the config is in <code>/usr/etc/lirc/</code>

first we need to install it:
 apk install lirc

lirc_options.conf:
  # These are the default options to lircd, if installed as
  # /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf. See the lircd(8) and lircmd(8)
  # manpages for info on the different options.
  #
  # Some tools including mode2 and irw uses values such as
  # driver, device, plugindir and loglevel as fallback values
  # in not defined elsewhere.
  [lircd]
  nodaemon        = True
  driver          = default
  device          = auto
  output          = /var/run/lirc/lircd
  pidfile         = /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
  plugindir       = /usr/lib/lirc/plugins
  permission      = 666
  allow-simulate  = No
  repeat-max      = 600
  #effective-user =
  #listen         = [address:]port
  #connect        = host[:port]
  #loglevel       = 6
  #release        = true
  #release_suffix = _EVUP
  #logfile        = ...
  #driver-options = ...
  [lircmd]
  uinput          = False
  nodaemon        = False
  # [modinit]
  # code = /usr/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial
  # code1 = /usr/bin/setfacl -m g:lirc:rw /dev/uinput
  # code2 = ...
  # [lircd-uinput]
  # add-release-events = False
  # release-timeout    = 200
  # release-suffix     = _EVUP

<hr>

Make a folder called lircd.conf.d, place this file inside: https://kirbfeels.luccapirovano.com/library/ArchivalPurposes/wiki-files/infared%20project/BN59-01175B.lircd.conf

(you can get additional remote configs [https://lirc-remotes.sourceforge.net/remotes-table.html here])

lirc will detect the file automatically when it is opened

Now we need to run lirc daemon: <code>lircd</code>

below is a script that will allow you to execute bash commands based on remote presses, taking advantage of <code>irw</code>'s output:
 #!/bin/bash
 irw |
 while 
  read;
  do
   if echo "$REPLY" | fgrep "01 KEY_0"; then echo "this is button 0"; fi
   if echo "$REPLY" | fgrep "01 KEY_1"; then echo "this is button 1"; fi
   if echo "$REPLY" | fgrep "01 KEY_2"; then echo "this is button 2"; fi
   if echo "$REPLY" | fgrep "00 KEY_3"; then echo "this is button 3"; fi
  done
