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).
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. 😆
