Are-u-ok is a collection of third-party plugin packages for iStore, a package manager for OpenWrt-based systems.
The project addresses the need for additional software extensions beyond iStore's default offerings. It provides pre-built plugin packages compiled for different hardware architectures and iStore versions, allowing users to extend their router or embedded Linux system functionality without building from source.
Users should adopt this tool if they run iStore on compatible hardware and need plugins not available through official channels. The project supports multiple platforms: aarch64_cortex-a53 for devices like the Xiaomi AX3600 and AX9000, x86_64 for Intel and AMD computers and small form factor devices, and aarch64_generic for Rockchip-based machines. Plugin availability varies by iStore version, with separate packages maintained for version 22.03 and version 24.10. The README notes that plugin maintenance is handled by a separate maintainer, and users should select the correct platform variant for their specific hardware before installation.
The project shows minimal ongoing development activity, with the original repository appearing largely inactive while maintenance responsibility has transferred to another account. Updates are infrequent and appear tied to iStore version releases rather than a regular cadence.
