Busybox systems have an implementation of tr that doesn't support classes, so tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' doesn't do what the script expects.

This stackexchange page lists some alternative implementation suitable for Busybox.

With this change and a deploy_cert hook to change the certs to DER format, dehydrated works fine on openwrt, thanks!

Interesting, I'll have a look at this, would be cool to have support on some embedded devices.

@paour with our somewhat old BusyBox v1.19.4 this works:

# echo 'RoadRunner' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
roadrunner

There is a BusyBox configuration option:

CONFIG_FEATURE_TR_CLASSES=y

config FEATURE_TR_CLASSES
   bool "Enable character classes (such as [:upper:])"
   default y
   depends on TR
   help
     Enable character classes, enabling commands such as:
     tr [:upper:] [:lower:] to convert input into lowercase.

@lukas2511 Though using Busybox the -u option for mktemp is not supported, this solves the test for mktemp:

-   _mktemp -u > /dev/null 2>&1 || _exiterr "This script requires mktemp."
+   which mktemp > /dev/null 2>&1 || _exiterr "This script requires mktemp."

Possibly you could use which to test for all command dependencies.

I just pushed a few changes and dehydrated now works fine under OpenWrt after installing bash, openssl-util and diffutils.
