You said you have:
config system
option hostname OpenWrt
option timezone UTC
option ttylogin 0
Which is an anonymous configuration block, put by default by OpenWRT, which
unfortunately doesn't play well with remote management systems that need to
override specific (hence named) sections.
That's why, according to this line:
https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-config/blob/master/openwisp-config/files/sbin/openwisp-uci-autoname.lua#L39
That section should be renamed as:
config system *'system'*
option hostname OpenWrt
option timezone UTC
option ttylogin 0
Bold mine, denotes the name of the section.
Without that name, it is not possible to automatically change that
configuration block, but only to add a new configuration block, which may
be discarded by UCI (the software which manages all these configuration
files).
Do you still have the anonymous version?
If yes, what happens if you run this command?
openwisp-uci-autoname
The expected result is to have the "system" config block renamed as
"system".
I remember you were having problems installing openwisp-config, maybe some
dependencies (like lua) were not installed and something is not working as
expected.
