ansible-openwisp2 is basically a deploy script.
You launch it from a laptop, workstation or a continuous integration server 
like jenkins or gitlab, we refer to these as the "local machine".
The script targets another machine, usually a server, which in the tutorial 
we refer to as the "production server".

You need to install ansible on your local machine, create the playbook file 
and the inventory file (a filed called hosts).

Ensure you correctly configure authentication so the SSH agent can 
authenticate successfully into the production server.

Regarding how to connect OpenWRT to OpenWISP, refer to this 
page: http://openwisp.io/docs/user/configure-device.html

Luci-openwisp is used for a different purpose, as written in its README:

*The goal of this project is to provide a limited web interface for LEDE / 
OpenWRT so that users can configure only the bare minimum in order for 
their device to connect to the OpenWISP 2 Controller.*

*Use this web interface only if you have a similar use case, otherwise you 
should keep the default LEDE / OpenWRT interface (luci-mod-admin-full).*


Luci-openwisp is useful if you want to preinstall your firmware on devices, 
then give the device to somebody who is in charge of placing it into a 
building or on a rooftop and they only need to configure a couple of 
things, nothing more. I don't think this is your use case.

I don't understand this last question well. I'll try to reply anyway 
according to my interpretation.
The web interface of OpenWISP allows you to change the configuration of the 
devices and/or prepare configuration templates for recurring configurations.
The web-interface allows a limited set of configuration options to be 
defined, but you can still go into advanced mode and overcome this limit, 
so with OpenWISP you can potentially prepare any type of configuration 
which is supported by OpenWRT and one of its packages.

Check the videos on our website to see some examples

I hope this helps!
