Add path flag to loxicmd save to non default /etc/loxilb directory

[vincentmli]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

BPFire UI is able to configure loxilb lb, fw, ip. but unable to save the configuration, and if loxilb restart, the configuration configured from UI is lost.

from BPFire web UI to invoke loxicmd save -a, loxicmd save -a failed to save to /etc/loxilb because UI does not have permission to write to /etc/loxilb directory.

Describe the solution you'd like

add path flag to loxicmd save to save to non default /etc/loxilb directory so other non root users like UI user could execute loxicmd save -a -p /var/ipfire/loxilb to save the config to /var/ipfire/loxilb directory. it would be nice if loxilb restart could restore the config from non default /etc/loxilb directory also like /var/ipfire/loxilb

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @vincentmli,

This issue has been updated.

You can specify the saving path using the -c option in the loxicmd, and to load it from that path, you will use the --config-path option when running loxilb. Please check it out.

loxicmd save -a -c **/root/**
IP Configuration saved in ipconfig_2024-06-28_06:43:08.txt
/usr/bin/bash -c cp -R lbconfig_2024-06-28_06:43:08.txt /root/lbconfig.txt
.....

./loxilb --config-path **/root/**
