Prepare persistence layer

[bestmazzo]

This task realted to thinking about the best approach for persisting configuration data and make it easily manageable from both backend app and web app. Possible choices:

• RDB (SQLITE):
  • PROS: most supported db app, packaged for OpenWRT too
  • CONS: a bit old approach for modern webapp.
• NoSQL DB
  • PROS: interfacing to a webapp is straightforward
  • CONS: no noSQL db is available for OpenWRT yet :-(

Why not considering UBUS?

• PROS: it's the common approach for interoperability inside OpenWRT and should provide:
  • Easy creation of luci configuration panel
  • Config data on json file
• CONS: maybe learning curve will be slow

Solution: use UCI and store config data on plain file
