Push protocol in place of Pull configuration

[Amit Goyal]

Hi 

Presently OpenWisp device pull configuration from openwisp and update conflagration on their side . 

Does OpenWisp support push configuration where we can push changes to openwisp Device . 

Please share if there any such implementation already exist in openwisp . 

Regards

Amit

Hello Amit,

openwisp-controller has a connections feature which allows to push the
configuration to a device.
Under "Network Device Credentials" you need to define credentials which are
then used to connect to the devices via SSH to push the configuration.

For the connections feature it's also necessary that a celery worker is
running for the background jobs. See https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller#id1

Unfortunately, I don't know about any documentation for this feature.

Greetings,
Oliver

Hi Amit,

it's in the admin index page - see the attached screenshot. You'll need
openwisp-controller >= 0.4.0.

For using a private key, you can put this as the value of the parameters field:

{
  "username": "root",
  "key": "-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----\nline1\nline2...etc...\n-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----"
}

key is basically the private key using \n instead of new lines (not great UX, I know, but that's the max we can do now).

If you flag it as audo-add it will add it as an available connection method in all devices of that organization.

You will still need to add the public key in the authorized keys of that device.

You may use a password as well, by using "password" instead of "key".

Keep in mind it's imperative that you keep your OpenWISP server even more secure if you enable this feature.

Hi Federico 

Thanks for information !

Can we enable API for this module too (Network Device Credentials ) like enabled for other module Device Registration , Template creation ! 

By API , We can push any conflagration to AP automatically

There's no built in API for this feature yet but you can easily build your own using Django REST Framework. 

Soon we'll start adding a built-in REST API for the main objects in the system but I can't provide a timeline for this yet.

Hi Federico

ok Thanks . 

[Federico Capoano]

I've added a documentation page that explains how to configure push updates (SSH access), which is a pre-requisite also for firmware upgrades.
