🚀 Quick Start

The easiest way to get started is by using Docker or by downloading the latest release.

🐳 Docker (Recommended)

Using Docker is the recommended way to run gokeenapi.

# Pull the Docker image
export GOKEENAPI_IMAGE="noksa/gokeenapi:stable"
docker pull "${GOKEENAPI_IMAGE}"

# Run a command
docker run --rm -ti -v "$(pwd)/config_example.yaml":/gokeenapi/config.yaml \
  "${GOKEENAPI_IMAGE}" show-interfaces --config /gokeenapi/config.yaml

⚙️ Configuration

gokeenapi is configured using a yaml file. You can find an example here.

To use your configuration file, pass the --config <path> flag with your command.

Reusable Bat-File Lists

When managing multiple routers with the same routing configuration, you can create a YAML file containing a list of bat-file paths and reference it across multiple configs:

batfiles/common-routes.yaml:

bat-file:
  - /path/to/discord.bat
  - /path/to/youtube.bat
  - /path/to/instagram.bat

Router config:

routes:
  - interfaceId: Wireguard0
    bat-file:
      - batfiles/common-routes.yaml  # Automatically expanded
      - /path/to/router-specific.bat # Can mix with regular files

The tool automatically detects .yaml/.yml files in the bat-file array and expands them to their contained bat-file paths. Relative paths in YAML list files are resolved relative to the YAML file's directory.

Reusable Bat-URL Lists

Similar to bat-file lists, you can create reusable YAML files containing bat-url paths:

batfiles/common-urls.yaml:

bat-url:
  - https://example.com/discord.bat
  - https://example.com/youtube.bat
  - https://example.com/instagram.bat

Router config:

routes:
  - interfaceId: Wireguard0
    bat-url:
      - batfiles/common-urls.yaml    # Automatically expanded
      - https://example.com/extra.bat # Can mix with regular URLs

The tool automatically detects .yaml/.yml files in the bat-url array and expands them to their contained bat-url paths. Relative paths in YAML list files are resolved relative to the YAML file's directory.

Note: You can combine both bat-file and bat-url in the same YAML file. When a YAML file is referenced in bat-file, only its bat-file list is expanded. When referenced in bat-url, only its bat-url list is expanded:

bat-file:
  - /path/to/file1.bat
  - /path/to/file2.bat
bat-url:
  - https://example.com/url1.bat
  - https://example.com/url2.bat

This allows you to maintain both local files and remote URLs in a single reusable YAML file, referencing it appropriately in your config.

Environment Variables

For security, you can store sensitive credentials as environment variables instead of in the config file:

• GOKEENAPI_KEENETIC_LOGIN - Router admin login
• GOKEENAPI_KEENETIC_PASSWORD - Router admin password

🔧 Supported Routers

gokeenapi has been tested with the following Keenetic (Netcraze) router models:

• Keenetic (Netcraze) Start
• Keenetic (Netcraze) Viva
• Keenetic (Netcraze) Giga

Since the utility works with Keenetic (Netcraze) Start (the most affordable model in the lineup), it should be compatible with all Keenetic (Netcraze) router models.

🕐 Scheduler - Automated Task Execution

The scheduler allows you to automate router management by running tasks at specified intervals or fixed times. This is perfect for keeping routes and DNS records up-to-date automatically.

Key Features

• Interval-based execution: Run tasks every N hours/minutes (e.g., every 3 hours)
• Time-based execution: Run tasks at specific times (e.g., at 02:00, 06:00, 12:00)
• Command chaining: Execute multiple commands sequentially (e.g., delete-routes → add-routes)
• Multi-router support: Manage multiple routers with a single task
• Retry mechanism: Automatically retry failed tasks with configurable delay
• Sequential execution: Tasks run in a queue to avoid conflicts

Quick Start

# Run scheduler with config
./gokeenapi scheduler --config scheduler.yaml

Example Configuration

tasks:
  - name: "Update routes every 3 hours"
    commands:
      - add-routes
    configs:
      - /path/to/router1.yaml
      - /path/to/router2.yaml
      - /path/to/router3.yaml
    interval: "3h"
  
  - name: "Refresh routes daily with retry"
    commands:
      - delete-routes
      - add-routes
    configs:
      - /path/to/router1.yaml
    times:
      - "02:00"
    retry: 3           # Retry up to 3 times on failure
    retryDelay: "30s"  # Wait 30 seconds between retries

📚 Commands

Here are some of the things you can do with gokeenapi. For a full list of commands and options, use the --help flag.

./gokeenapi --help

show-interfaces

Aliases: showinterfaces, showifaces, si

Displays all available interfaces on your Keenetic (Netcraze) router.

# Show all interfaces
./gokeenapi show-interfaces --config my_config.yaml

# Show only WireGuard interfaces
./gokeenapi show-interfaces --config my_config.yaml --type Wireguard

add-routes

Aliases: addroutes, ar

Adds static routes to your router.

./gokeenapi add-routes --config my_config.yaml

delete-routes

Aliases: deleteroutes, dr

Deletes static routes for a specific interface.

# Delete routes for all interfaces in the config file
./gokeenapi delete-routes --config my_config.yaml

# Delete routes for a specific interface
./gokeenapi delete-routes --config my_config.yaml --interface-id <your-interface-id>

# Delete routes without confirmation prompt
./gokeenapi delete-routes --config my_config.yaml --force

add-dns-records

Aliases: adddnsrecords, adr

Adds static DNS records.

./gokeenapi add-dns-records --config my_config.yaml

delete-dns-records

Aliases: deletednsrecords, ddr

Deletes static DNS records based on your configuration file.

./gokeenapi delete-dns-records --config my_config.yaml

add-dns-routing

Aliases: adddnsrouting, adnsr

Adds DNS-routing rules (policy-based routing by domain) to your router. This feature allows you to route traffic for specific domains through designated network interfaces.

Requirements: Keenetic firmware version 5.0.1 or higher

./gokeenapi add-dns-routing --config my_config.yaml

How it works:

• Loads domains from local .txt files and remote URLs
• Creates domain groups (object-groups) containing your specified domains and IP addresses
• Associates each group with a network interface via dns-proxy routes
• Traffic for domains in a group is automatically routed through the specified interface

Domain sources:

• Local .txt files with one domain per line (supports comments with #)
• Remote URLs serving domain lists
• YAML files containing lists of domain-file or domain-url paths (for organization)

YAML expansion: The tool automatically detects .yaml/.yml files in the domain-file and domain-url arrays and expands them to their contained paths. Relative paths in YAML list files are resolved relative to the YAML file's directory.

Example use cases:

• Route social media traffic through a VPN (Wireguard0)
• Route streaming services through a different connection
• Split traffic by domain for load balancing or privacy
• Use community-maintained domain lists from URLs

delete-dns-routing

Aliases: deletednsrouting, ddnsr

Deletes DNS-routing rules that match your configuration file.

# Delete DNS-routing rules with confirmation prompt
./gokeenapi delete-dns-routing --config my_config.yaml

# Delete DNS-routing rules without confirmation prompt
./gokeenapi delete-dns-routing --config my_config.yaml --force

The command will:

1. Identify dns-proxy routes and object-groups matching your configuration
2. Display the rules to be deleted
3. Request confirmation (unless --force flag is used)
4. Remove dns-proxy routes first, then object-groups

add-awg

Aliases: addawg, aawg

Adds a new WireGuard connection from a .conf file.

./gokeenapi add-awg --config my_config.yaml --conf-file <path-to-conf> --name MySuperInterface

update-awg

Aliases: updateawg, uawg

Updates an existing WireGuard connection from a .conf file.

./gokeenapi update-awg --config my_config.yaml --conf-file <path-to-conf> --interface-id <interface-id>

delete-known-hosts

Aliases: deleteknownhosts, dkh

Deletes known hosts by name or MAC using regex pattern.

# Delete hosts by name pattern
./gokeenapi delete-known-hosts --config my_config.yaml --name-pattern "pattern"

# Delete hosts by MAC pattern
./gokeenapi delete-known-hosts --config my_config.yaml --mac-pattern "pattern"

# Delete hosts without confirmation prompt
./gokeenapi delete-known-hosts --config my_config.yaml --name-pattern "pattern" --force

exec

Aliases: e

# Show system information
./gokeenapi exec --config my_config.yaml show version

# Display interface statistics
./gokeenapi exec --config my_config.yaml show interface

# Show routing table
./gokeenapi exec --config my_config.yaml show ip route
