My actual router has been running OpenWRT for a long time now, but I really ought to put it on my wireless access points, too.

I also ought to finally look into OpenWISP (which, as I understand it, is a Free Software alternative to things like Omada or UniFi).

OpenWISP does seem cool, but I can only find info about deploying it in cloud services....

Yeah mot sure why they show Ansible front and center, there is a Docker installation

Nope, I don’t think so, Ubiquiti devices aren’t in the OpenWRT compatibility list, sadly.

Sorry, I meant OpenWISP is an alternative to UniFi in the sense that it's the same category of software, not necessarily that it runs on the same devices.

People with TP Link routers aren't capable of updating them.
