This is a WIP for uploading active configurations to controller.
I did basic testing on it, working to make a pull on controller to receive the uploaded configurations.

The other part of this PR was here: openwisp/netjsonconfig#152

@atb00ker This is exactly the kind of feature I am looking for in OpenWISP.
Can you explain this a little bit more, how it works?

My use case is that I have a router out in the field that is already configured.
Now I want it to send the configuration from to the OpenWISP and after that I want to change the configuration from OpenWISP and not directly on the router anymore. But for that I need to import the configuration from the router into the OpenWISP.

Is this possible with your approach?

Currently there is such a merge operation going on.
The whole configuration in the router is not known to the OpenWISP.
The means OpenWISP merges its configuration into the router downstream.

Hi,

You can understand the workings of the two PRs here: openwisp/netjsonconfig#100

  1. [WIP][backward-conversion] Recognize templates #100 netjsonconfig#152
  2. [WIP][enchancement] Upload device configuration #107

These are related PRs.

However, unfortunately, no one is actively working on it so perhaps, you'll need to rebase this & work on testing and fixing the errors.

If you have knowledge about openwisp-config and python, then yes please help to complete this, otherwise, It will take a little while for us to get back to this! 😄
