# Switch Config Manager
Web-based tool for writing, saving, and pushing configuration files to network switches.
Pulls switch inventory from NocoDB and provides a browser UI for editing and deploying configs.
## Features
- Lists active switches from NocoDB (filterable by department)
- Config editor — write or paste switch configuration in the browser
- Save configs to disk as `hostname.conf` files
- Push configs to switches via SSH (Paramiko)
- Web access shortcut — open the switch management UI directly from the app
## Quick Start
### 1. Configure
Copy `config.example.py` to `config.py` and fill in your values:
```bash
cp config.example.py config.py
nano config.py
```
```python
NOCODB_URL = "http://your-nocodb-host:8080"
NOCODB_TOKEN = "your-api-token"
NOCODB_BASE_ID = "your-base-id"
NOCODB_TABLE_ID = "your-table-id"
CONFIGS_DIR = "/configs"
```
### 2. Build and run
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
The app runs on port **8003** by default.
### 3. Open the UI
```
http://your-host-ip:8003
```
## NocoDB Requirements
The NocoDB table must have at minimum:
| Column | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `Hostname` | Switch hostname (used as filename) |
| `Active` | Must be `YES` for the switch to appear |
| `Dept` | Department code — used for filtering |
## Project Structure

├── app.py # Flask API + SSH push logic

```
## Saved Configs
Config files are saved to the `configs/` directory as `hostname.conf`.
The directory is bind-mounted from the host so files persist across container restarts.
