OpenWISP for home use

[Bart Tiemersma]

Hi,

I would like to use OpenWISP to make my home router and access points easily upgradable to new versions of OpenWRT. Of course, I don't want to register a domain name and host it on a server to do so.

I managed to get vagrant-openwisp (with default configuration) running on my local machine and I read about the ability to use OpenWISP in push mode (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openwisp/nk7p6H5JXLU). However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. Can you give me some advice?

Thanks,

Bart

Welcome Bart,

you need to add the device credentials to access your routers.

We discussed this in another thread: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/openwisp/nk7p6H5JXLU/5Ey6b5ffBAAJ

I created an issue in our documentation repository in order to track the addition of the explanation of this feature: https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp2-docs/issues/105

I hope this helps.

Federico

Yes, I read about that and added the SSH username and password there. However, I also expect to be able to add the IP address of the routers somewhere and push the configurations. These parts I cannot find.

The management ip or last ip fields are used.
If you have all the devices on the same L2 network you should be fine, OpenWISP will figure out the IP of the devices when they ask the configuration to it and will use that one (it's always kept up to date).

My network uses the 192.168.8.* range, while my openwisp controller is hosted on 192.168.56.5. This host doesn't seem to be reachable, not even by openwrt. I tried hosting it in the same ip range, but that wasn't allowed by vagrant. Should this work, or is there something else I can try?

That depends on your system configuration. I am not fond of Vagrant. It's a tool we put up for students and new contributors to quickly use OpenWISP. You can use it, but I can't help you much with it.

I don't deploy using vagrant. I deploy using ansible-openwisp2 on VMs hosted on the internet.
If I had to deploy on an machine in a LAN, as in your case, I would first make sure the network of the machine is well configured for usage with the rest of the LAN and then deploy on it using ansible-openwisp2.
