How To Configure a Wireless USB Dongle to RJ45 Ethernet on Vyos

[reader]

I am trying to use a USB WiFi adapter (wlan0) on the Vyos machine to connect wirelessly to a wireless router and obtain an IP Address automatically and then give an internet connection to the device on the Vyos machine’s ethernet port.

The configuration:
a) 1 Realtek USB WiFi Dongle - to be used as the ‘outside’ connection
b) 1 Ethernet RJ45 Port - to be used as the ‘inside’ connection
c) Attempted on different Vyos v1.2.0 rolling releases - the result is the same

The setup commands used are:

show int
configure
set int wireless wlan0 address dhcp
set int eth eth0 address 192.168.1.1/24
set int wireless wlan0 channel 1
set int wireless wlan0 ssid ssidname
set int wireless wlan0 security wpa passphrase password
set int wireless wlan0 type access-point
set system wifi-regulatory-domain US
commit
save
run show int
set int wireless wlan0 description OUTSIDE
set int eth eth0 description INSIDE
commit
save
edit nat source r 1
set outbound-interface wlan0
set source address 192.168.1.0/24
set translation address masquerade
commit
save
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name name subnet 192.168.1.0/24
edit service dhcp-server shared-network-name name subnet 192.168.1.0/24
set default-router 192.168.1.1
set dns-server 8.8.8.8
set domain-name support.local
set start 192.168.1.10 stop 192.168.1.250
commit
save
exit

However, the wlan0 is not obtaining an IP address and the output message when executing commit is:

touch: cannot touch ‘/config/dhcpd.leases’: No such file or directory

Is the configuration incorrect?
