Día 13: Waxtu bu baax, Pablo!

·2 mins

In the morning, as usual, we split into two groups to tackle the day’s tasks:

Completion of the Daily Report Script #

The monitoring team (Joan and Jaume) spent the morning finalizing the script that will send a daily report on the network’s status.

As a fun detail, we added an easter egg: each morning, the report message will randomly greet Pablo in one of five different languages (Spanish, French, English, Catalan, and Wolof).

Good morning, Pablo!

Progress in OpenWISP and Unexpected Issues #

Aitor and Roger spent the morning configuring OpenWISP, creating different organizations for the routers to keep the various Hahatay installations well-organized. However, during this process, some router configurations were accidentally deleted.

This issue turned into a valuable learning experience: they realized the importance of being extremely strict with the structure of organizations, groups, and devices within OpenWISP to prevent future errors.

An Unexpected Visitor #

In the afternoon, while working, Joan and Aitor received a surprise visit: a nearly 100-year-old, 50+ kg tortoise, a resident of the Hahatay facilities, unexpectedly wandered into their room.

Coffee with Lorenzo and Teamwork #

After an enjoyable coffee break with Lorenzo, each team resumed their tasks:

  • Joan worked on adding all the virtual devices deployed in Proxmox to the monitoring network.
  • Jaume focused on configuring web services.
  • Aitor, Roger, and Sergio defined the ideal structure of organizations, groups, and devices in OpenWISP so that password changes could be applied globally with a single click.

Wrapping Up the Day at Teranga #

To end the day, we headed to our beloved Teranga, this time joined by Salif. However, it’s unlikely he’ll come with us again after we overwhelmed him with philosophical, mathematical, IT-related, and, above all, extremely geeky discussions. 😆
