VyControl is web frontend interface to manage a single or multiple VyoS servers. It is developed in Python/Django using VyOS API.

If you are interested on future of VyControl, please check VyControl v2 Roadmap.

VyControl can be a web gui for one single VyOS installation, but it requires a separeted webserver from VyOS to a single network admin user or a TI department from a company

VyControl can be a web gui for multiple VyOS installation in a same enterprise, to a single network admin user or a TI department from a company

VyControl can be a web gui for multiple VyOS installation in a datacenter. Each of datacenter customer have a VyControl user to manage their own VyOSes (each user can manage several VyOS).

Right now we are using db.sqlite3, you can edit composer and to change to mySQL/PostgreSQL if needed.

find vycontrol | grep migrations | xargs rm -rf
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

cp -a vycontrol/vycontrol/settings_example/ /vycontrol/vycontrol/settings_available/

edit according your needs:

• ALLOWED_HOSTS currently 127.0.0.1 is ok for tests
• for tests you don't need to edit EMAIL settings, but forget password will not work
• sqlite is ok for tests, but you can change to MySQL/PostgreSQL.
• SECRET_KEY edit to anything random, you can use openssl for example:

openssl rand -hex 32

source env/bin/activate
cd vycontrol
python3 manage.py makemigrations config --settings=vycontrol.settings_available.production 
python3 manage.py makemigrations --settings=vycontrol.settings_available.production
