Installation overwrites rc.local

[jadero]

I did an install today and realized later that my TVheadend Kodi client couldn't connect anymore to the server. A quick check showed that my custom made entries to rc.local were gone and an iptables entry was there instead which hasn't been there before I installed raspap. I couldn't find any backup file so this took me a while to get everything running again. :^(

Btw. I followed this tutorial for installation: https://howtoraspberrypi.com/create-a-wi-fi-hotspot-in-less-than-10-minutes-with-pi-raspberry/.

There should be backups stored in /etc/raspap/backups. Did you check there?

After some testing I decided to remove raspap and all dependencies incl. folders in /etc. When I discovered that there was something wrong with my rc.local the raspap folder in /etc was already gone so I cannot answer your question. I suggest that you put the backup file for rc.local right into /etc (append a suffix to it). But the question remains why there where lines removed in rc.local in the first place?

The rc.local file is updated to add in the rules for the RaspAP web GUI to act as a router.
Uninstalling RaspAP with the uninstall script would have restored the rc.local file that you had before.

Ok thats fine concerning the uninstallation. I didn't know that there is a script available though. But I would still consider it as a bug that custom added lines to the rc.local script are removed during installation (or that this file is replaced, whatever).

Yep, I agree. It is an issue we need to address.
