ansible-openwrt VS openwrt-configuration-ansible

you can use this: https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt

There have been efforts in that direction:

- https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt

- https://github.com/NN708/ansible-openwrt

and even

- https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/communit...

Are they not sufficient?

https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt (which is a dependency of the nn708 one) to me seems way better, but it works by re-implements various ansible modules in a way that doesn't require python, which - while commendable in principle - will in practice surely drive users into hard-to-deal-with issues with incompatibilities, unsupported features, etc (of course the details of the re-implementation of modules are not documented, so it's gonna be trial, error, and.. hope the next release doesn't break things).

One good example is this collection to manage OpenWRT (still uses ssh, but the modules it provides are all in shell) https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt

I have something similar: https://github.com/danielvijge/openwrt-configuration-ansible Using an ansible playbook this can configure multiple devices in the same network. But this uses the default configuration files, sometimes with JINJA2 templating when required. For me using the same config format as on a device is convenient, because it allows to first configure using (l)uci, diff the config, then store it.

I use this setup with one router and (currently one) access point. The GitHub description lists the exact configuration. The ansible script is there to push the same configuration from a central lcomputer to both the router and multiple access points, but is totally optional.

https://github.com/danielvijge/openwrt-configuration-ansible might help. I did it with routers as AP, but can work with RPi's too I think.
