uCentralFMS

What is this?

The uCentralFMS is a micro-service part of the OpenWiFi ecosystem. uCentralFMS is a Firmware Management Service to facilitate the task of upgrade and maintaining the proper firmware for all the devices used in your OpenWiFi solution. You may either build it or use the Docker version.

OpenAPI

You may get static page with OpenAPI docs generated from the definition on GitHub Page. Also, you may use Swagger UI with OpenAPI definition file raw link (i.e. latest version file) to get interactive docs page.

Building

To build the microservice from source, please follow the instructions in here

Docker

To use the CLoudSDK deployment please follow here

Expected directory layout

From the directory where your cloned source is, you will need to create the certs, logs, and uploads directories.

mkdir certs
mkdir certs/cas
mkdir logs
mkdir uploads

You should now have the following:

--+-- certs
  |   +--- cas
  +-- cmake
  +-- cmake-build
  +-- logs
  +-- src
  +-- test_scripts
  +-- openapi
  +-- uploads
  +-- owsec.properties

Certificate

The OWFMS uses a certificate to provide security for the REST API Certificate to secure the Northbound API.

The certs directory

For all deployments, you will need the following certs directory, populated with the proper files.

certs ---+--- restapi-ca.pem
         +--- restapi-cert.pem
         +--- restapi-key.pem

Firewall Considerations

Port	Description	Configurable
16003	Default port for REST API Access to the OWFMS	yes

Environment variables

The following environment variables should be set from the root directory of the service. They tell the OWGW process where to find the configuration and the root directory.

export OWGW_ROOT=`pwd`
export OWGW_CONFIG=`pwd`

You can run the shell script set_env.sh from the microservice root.

OWFMS Service Configuration

The configuration is kept in a file called owfms.properties. To understand the content of this file, please look here
