Add Routers

[mabra94]

I tried to establish a PCEP Session but that was not successful. I assume I need to create the Router first, right? Is there another way to create a router besides the GUI? The GUI did not work for me. I was not able to save the router details.

Is it mandatory to create a Router first? Wouldn't it be better to just establish the PCEP session from the PCE client and the gopcep webui just displays the NEs which are connected?

I am quite interested in this project but I will need some upskilling in go programming before I could possibly contribute myself other than just commenting here.

The reason why you cannot save the routers details is that all the browsers will not work with self signed certificates. What you need to do is go to https://127.0.0.1:1443/v1/routers in you browser and click advanced then allow the insecure certificates. You of cause can create routers using just the API. You need to have the routers and all the settings added before GoPCEP accepts the incoming connections. Due to how all modern browsers work there is not way for me to work around this issue.

You can also try to fix this by chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost if you are suing Chrome or Brave not sure if this setting exists for Firefox for Safari.

Updated the Readme as well

It is not about the self signed certs. I can access the GUI but the Form to add a router does not respond. Nothing happens when submitting the entered router details. I am using brave browser

Can you by any chance open the console in Brave and try saving the router again? to see the error in console or in the networking TAB?

Sorry for the delay. The below is what I see:
