pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

OK I am clearly doing something wrong. Admittedly a n00b at this stuff.
Asus RT-AC3100 running Merlin 384.3.
Per the 1st post, in the SSH at /tmp# I tried opkg install pixelserv-tls
Response:
Unknown package 'pixelserv-tls'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package pixelserv-tls.
Was I supposed to download something first? If so, where to save it?
Elsewhere I saw there was an Entware installer. After 20 minutes of reading I found that now Entware is built-into Merlin, it just needs to be activated. I did this.
Next, per a post on page 5x of this thread, I tried: sh -c "$(wget -qO - https://kazoo.ga/pixelserv-tls/install-beta.sh)"
Pleasingly, it asked what kind of architecture I had. After trying armv8 and being told that was wrong, I tried armv7 (option 1).
Response:
/opt/bin/pixelserv-tls missing or non-executable.
Your system doesn't seem to have pixelserv-tls installed.
Please install the prod version from Entware-ng first.
opkg install pixelserv-tls
So. Back to step 1. What am I missing here? I spent some time looking at the Github page. Unfortunately it just suggested both of the above commands. Help!

Interesting. You're the first reported case of crash on 64-bit ARMv8. Note that the 64-bit build is relatively new for pixelserv-tls (and I believe Entware as a whole as well).
I wonder if other RT-AC86 users experience the same. Pls all running the 64-bit version help to keep an eye on crashes and report back..
At the moment, I've no clue to what might have caused the crash. I'll see if some traces could be added later for diagnosis.
It could be your Entware not properly installed or the Entware repository is temporarily unavailable. Pls review how you installed Entware and then try again.
Btw, in case you're using AB-Solution to manage your block files. You'll be better off using ABS to install and configure Entware and pixelserv-tls too.
Glorious! I clearly overlooked it in the ABS menu. May I humbly recommend editing post #1 to suggest just that? Thanks very much for the assist!

While I'm not trying to play devils advocate, it states in the first post:
Note "entware-ng".
Additionally, it is standard practice to always update the repositories after installing any package manager on any platform, as they always require fetching the actual list of software they are capable of installing.

Sure! But I would say that I'm not the only person here with extremely limited LINUX/UNIX experience, and most of that was in college 20 years ago. So I'm almost starting from zero here. It's totally fair that everyone needs to assume a certain level of knowledge on the part of readers, but at the same time I researched in circles for 90 minutes before asking the above question. I'm fortunate that some Linux commands are the same as DOS ( cd .. ) and that I remembered others like more and ls. On one hand I'd agree that it's too much to ask for "then type XYZ in the SSH" level of detail; but OTOH the ABS thread includes essentially copy-and-paste commands.
Post one took me to a variety of guides and the Github page for pixelserv-tls. I saw the Entware-ng, a discussion about Entware-ng-3x, went to that Github page, saw that it had merged with Entware-ng into just plain Entware. Read more about that. Found that Merlin now includes Entware by default, you just have to activate it with a certain command in SSH. Did that. Tried to run the pixelserv-tls command via entware software now installed in the Merlin in SSH, got errors... you see where I'm going with this?
PLEASE don't get me wrong. I know it's much easier for me to be on this side of the keyboard pointing these things out; I am not a programmer or a developer. I am ABSOLUTELY grateful for the efforts other people have put forward to build these tools to make my life easier.
I'm just suggesting that some of us come to this forum with very little in the way of previous knowledge. I'm very happy to do some research and reading... I just feel like this one led me in a recursive loop. haha

I'll emphatically second this motion.
Once you get this all sorted out, you're going to fall in love with the internet all over again.

Thank you. 6.25MB is in very good shape.
@Raphie that's another very good run.
People shall also look at kvg, which registers the average number of requests serviced in a single connection. Km-test.6 onwards, kvg shall be much higher than in previous versions, meaning on average pixelserv-tls is more efficient in re-using HTTP/1.1 persistent connections.
In both runs from @Protik and @Raphie, kvg > 5! The maximum requests by one connection (krq) is a terrific 14,779 requests in Protik's case, and 2,678 in Raphie's!
very nice.

very nice.
Also worth pointing out that kvg is another counter that shares the exponential moving average behind tav as discussed in this post: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/p...bserver-for-adblock.26114/page-60#post-388017
I would find chances to gradually highlight some of the inner workings of pixelserv-tls. Hopefully people will start to appreciate a bit of the sophistications in there.

lol. You still haven't forgotten about that. My last count after x'mas the number stood around 60. So you have 40 more to work on
Okay, team! Make sure you have "liked" post #608 in this thread. I looked at the list and we are at exactly 60. I know there are more pixelserv users!
@Asad Ali and @ThanksForThis, I'm looking at you...and now thanks!
+7 today. 33 to go. I've dm'd 7 recent posters in this thread. Sometimes ocd is a good thing.
