Introducing MikroWizard: An Open-Source Solution for MikroTik Router Management

3rd party tools
41

Hello, I installed this and have been looking at it and noticed a GUI bug.
When you click “Adding new task” the “theme” “columns” and “Items per page” all open BEHIND the window, you can see them when you close the task.

It would be nice if there was a place to view currently running/progress of tasks/jobs as well instead of disappearing into the abyss.
Is it possible to add toggles for what we would want listed in “device logs”? As already mentioned, It would be nice to turn off all internal events (aside from eth port activity)

Also, on task planer (planner typo?) It gives the clicking ability to run a backup, which isn’t available for free users, but it does not give any error or warning, just acts like its accepted and goes away.

great job! I will give this a try and add a few of our routers that we manage. This is above and beyond what say Splynx can do :wink:.

Perhaps MikroTik will take note of this and use to build their own. Or they leverage your source-code to build their own cloud manager.

43

Thanks for the feedback, I will add your suggestions to the list.

44

Of course, we are at the beginning of the roadmap, there will be more features and options available in the future that is going to surprise everyone :slight_smile:

45

Any reason we couldn’t get this to work on a decent-sized CCR with containers? I’m thinking at minimum a CCR2004 4GB RAM and external storage or more likely a CCR2116/2216 with SSD’s.

46

I had a problem adding devices. Testing a routeos device with a public IP address, I tried every means to fail to add devices, make sure the api was enabled, Routeos-log had a log message, and login failed

47

Hello everybody,
From a global perspective, there is a lot of room to improve productivity. In many cases we are using multiple Mikrotik devices at the same time and we are configuring multiple things, such as interfaces and VPNs, in between these devices. If we could have the ability to control multiple devices from the same interface, it could be a real breakthrough in terms of the productivity. A similar approach was implemented in some of the SDWAN controllers. For example, IPSEC: Peers, Identifiers, Profiles and Proposals could be configured on multiple devices at the same time.
Best,
K.

Can you please provide more information?
Installation method? any errors you face? and which part is not working?
Please open an issue in GitHub or our contact us at info@mikrowizard.com
Mikrowizard should work with your router regardless of its hardware
Thanks

49

Maybe the user you are trying with is not allowed to use API? or is it simply the wrong user/password? please check the logs in the scanner wizard to troubleshoot the problem.

There is a batch command execution option in MikroWizard named “snippets” You can write commands and execute them on selected devices/groups and see the results, but if you want a more customized solution based on your needs you can reach us at info@mikrowizard.com.

I am not well versed in linux. I tried to install this in a Debian LXC under Proxmox and failed.

There are too many steps in the installation, and while I appreciate the detail and effort that went into creating the instructions, they did not work for me.

I got as far as:

psql -U your_username -d your_database_name

But this command failed as follows:

root@debian:~# psql -U joseph -d mikrotik
psql: error: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "joseph"

Any suggestions?

It would be so much nicer if the manual installation was packaged in a single command. Possible?

Thank you.

52

I mean, if you use their “docker” install, its practically one command. You run the one c/p command, answer 5 questions (make username, make database pass, IP, make radius secret, done)
It installed super easy on ubuntu 22.04




Extra bug
In IP scanner, I put 100.64.0.2-100.64.4.254 for our CGnat routers, most of the devices have already been added but reran to make sure none were offline during first scan. I am on day 4 since starting that, still says its scanning. (I noticed this upon initial install and added current routers using /25’s at a time.
I have not found a way to “cancel” the broken scan either

53

I was confused about the docker install – I thought it meant installation as a container on an MT device.

I just tried the docker install and it failed as follows:

Yes you need a Linux server Debian based (Ubuntu recommended)

55

I will take a look and let you know , thanks for the report

56

I am using Debian.

57

Out of curiosity, is the backups and updates features COMPLETELY pay only? I notice even trying to do singles do not work

58

Sorry, lost in translation. That was a hypothetical question, not a “I tried it and it didn’t work”.

In other words, have you guys tested loading the containers onto MikroTik devices themselves, or on CHR? Using RouterOS’s built-in container support?


As for feedback, I loaded it up and yes, for an ISP, a single total bandwidth chart on the dashboard is pointless.

I do not like how the RX and TX charts are laid out. Since upload is statistically significantly less than download, the way the graphs scale the data to show the same maximum visually is not helpful. 500Mbps down should not be visually represented the same as 20Mbps up.

59

I can’t register or log in at all. The error message is: “An error has been encountered. Probably page was cached. Please try again.” I am looking forward to solving the login and registration problem as soon as possible.

Thank you for creating this.

Just one word of advise, while I know you likely created the install script for easy install for everyone, many people would of prefered docker-compose file which then is universal for any platform that they use.

Currently looking at the install script code, its aimed more for ubuntu machines (well docker install is). Or you would need to add every distro under the sun and support that, what a nightmare that would be.

Also doing a docker-compose edition would of mean that people like myself, would be able to easily and quickly convert this into kubernetes manifests as many people these days don’t run standalone docker instances where k8s is more viable.

Anwyays, really nicely done. Well done.
