Image customization

Starting with Gluon v2023.2 there is a new way to manage features and packages.

The image-customization.lua file in your site. While this change might seem at first a bit annoying due to having to having to update the site this will make things better in the long run.

As the name of the file suggests is the file basically a script which is evaluated for every device during the build proccess.

There are a few functions which are explained in the docs: https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/site.html#image-customization

To make the migration easier and give you some ideas are here a few communities which already switched to this new mechanism:

• FFAC: https://github.com/ffac/site/blob/v2023.2.x/image-customization.lua
• FFDA: https://github.com/freifunk-darmstadt/site-ffda/blob/master/image-customization.lua
• FFMUC: https://github.com/freifunkMUC/site-ffm/blob/next/image-customization.lua
• FFRN: https://github.com/Freifunk-Rhein-Neckar/site-ffrn/blob/main/image-customization.lua
