docker setup in lxc or vm?

[chriswalg]

In which environment (LXC or VM) should I install the Docker setup for openWISP?

I never heard of someone using it on LXC. I believe most users use either VMs or solutions like kubernetes (although this adds complexity with VPNs). In any case, the images are there, you can do what you want with it. If you feel comfortable with LXC and get it running there it would be interesting to know more about your setup.

I only need it for radius. I don't want to use VPN. I'll test lxc container.

The autoinstall script for Docker containers is not functioning.

The following error appears in the log:

Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/net/tun": no such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:86: start] Error 1
make: Leaving directory '/opt/openwisp/docker-openwisp'

I disabled openvpn module in install script.

other solution is in promox add this config

nano /etc/pve/lxc/.conf

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/net dev/net none bind,create=dir

If you don't have some hard requirements on docker (eg: kubernets, horizontal scaling), I would just use ansible-openwisp2 which is a lot more battle tested.

If you are comfortable with docker-openwisp, then you can avoid using some of its images and only use the images you need by coming up with your own docker-compose or whatever other type of docker orchestration you like. If you use docker-openwisp, I think the current edge images are working fine now.

We should be releasing a new major version of OpenWISP in the coming month anyway, so the current edge images will become stable soonish.

I hope this helps.
