OpenWISP, radius, docker, guidance...

[unracer]

Hello again,

I need OpenWISP2 functionality as an OpenWRT devices controller, and django-freeradius as a WUI to radius.

Deployment envisioned in the cloud, fairly small scale but availability is key, hence redundancy etc.

Where should I be headed to? Would dockerized OpenWISP components and Postgres-as-a-service from a cloud provider look like a sensible choice? Are containers the preferred way OpenWISP will be distributed in the future? Or am I better off going for IaaS VMs and deploy OpenWISP components on that?

Also, what's the deal with openwisp-radius? Is there an overlap in the functionality with django-freeradius? Is this a competitor, a remote cousin, a copycat... ?

Best,

unracer

Hello,

docker openwisp is still not released and not recommended for production use right now. We will surely update on mailing list when docker-openwisp is released. openwisp-radius extends django-freeradius, openwisp-radius adds functionality for multitenancy.

Best,
