Help/howto for Openwisp on multiple containers (proxmox)

[Michele Salerno]

Hi,

I believe that having OpenWISP complete on one machine is like having a
Linux system with a single partition.
I have a Proxmox server at home and would like to ask for your advice or
guidance on how to put OpenWISP, VPN, RADIUS, PostgreSQL, etc. on
multiple containers rather than having a single VM.
In my opinion, this could improve performance and, above all,
maintenance and updates.
What do you think?

Best regards,

Michele

This could make sense if you have at least a few thousands of devices.

For less than a couple of thousands of devices, in my opinion is overkill, the more hosts you have, the more maintenance overhead you get.

Regarding how, the ansible role has some variables that allow to specify whether a service should be installed or not, while for openvpn and postgresql you should already autonomously install those autonomously.

However, if you install OpenVPN on another host, you have to configure your network (routing, default gateway or policy routing) to make sure the OpenWISP hosts can talk to the OpenVPN clients.

Best regards

Federico Capoano
