Extended description
OpenWISP Controller is the OpenWISP module for automating the configuration and lifecycle management of network devices, especially OpenWrt based routers and access points. It provides a web interface and REST APIs for device adoption, provisioning, configuration templates, variables, device groups, HTTP resources and push operations. It also automates management VPN provisioning and PKI workflows, including OpenVPN, WireGuard, VXLAN over WireGuard, ZeroTier, X.509 certificate authorities and certificates. The controller can connect to devices with SSH and SNMP, execute shell commands, track geographic location, allocate subnets and IP addresses through the optional subnet division app, and integrate with other OpenWISP modules for monitoring, firmware upgrades, topology, IPAM, notifications and RADIUS. Most production deployments are installed through Ansible OpenWISP or Docker OpenWISP. See the OpenWISP Quick Start Guide for the recommended installation path. Commercial support is available for organizations that need professional assistance with deployment, operation and maintenance.
