`APRSD <http://github.com/craigerl/aprsd>`_ is a Ham radio `APRS <http://aprs.org>`_ message command gateway built on python.

APRSD listens on amateur radio aprs-is network for messages and respond to them.
It has a plugin architecture for extensibility.  Users of APRSD can write their own
plugins that can respond to APRS-IS messages.

You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software.  APRSD gets
messages for the configured HAM callsign, and sends those messages to a
list of plugins for processing.   There are a set of core plugins that
provide responding to messages to check email, get location, ping,
time of day, get weather, and fortune telling as well as version information
of aprsd itself.

Please `read the docs`_ to learn more!

Typical use case
================

Ham radio operator using an APRS enabled HAM radio sends a message to check
the weather.  An APRS message is sent, and then picked up by APRSD.  The
APRS packet is decoded, and the message is sent through the list of plugins
for processing.  For example, the WeatherPlugin picks up the message, fetches the weather
for the area around the user who sent the request, and then responds with
the weather conditions in that area.  Also includes a watch list of HAM
callsigns to look out for.  The watch list can notify you when a HAM callsign
in the list is seen and now available to message on the APRS network.

Development
===========

* ``git clone git@github.com:craigerl/aprsd.git``
* ``cd aprsd``
* ``make``

Workflow
========

While working aprsd, The workflow is as follows:

* Checkout a new branch to work on by running

  ``git checkout -b mybranch``

* Make your changes to the code
* Run Tox with the following options:

  - ``tox -epep8``
  - ``tox -efmt``
  - ``tox -p``

* Commit your changes. This will run the pre-commit hooks which does checks too

  ``git commit``

* Once you are done with all of your commits, then push up the branch to
  github with:

  ``git push -u origin mybranch``

* Create a pull request from your branch so github tests can run and we can do
  a code review.


Release
=======

To do release to pypi:

* Tag release with:

  ``git tag -v1.XX -m "New release"``

* Push release tag:

  ``git push origin master --tags``

* Do a test build and verify build is valid by running:

  ``make build``

* Once twine is happy, upload release to pypi:

  ``make upload``


Docker Container
================

Building
========

There are 2 versions of the container Dockerfile that can be used.
The main Dockerfile, which is for building the official release container
based off of the pip install version of aprsd and the Dockerfile-dev,
which is used for building a container based off of a git branch of
the repo.

Official Build
==============

``docker build -t hemna6969/aprsd:latest .``

Development Build
=================

``docker build -t hemna6969/aprsd:latest -f Dockerfile-dev .``


Running the container
=====================

There is a ``docker-compose.yml`` file in the ``docker/`` directory
that can be used to run your container. To provide the container
an ``aprsd.conf`` configuration file, change your
``docker-compose.yml`` as shown below:

::

     volumes:
         - $HOME/.config/aprsd:/config

To install plugins at container start time, pass in a list of
comma-separated list of plugins on PyPI using the ``APRSD_PLUGINS``
environment variable in the ``docker-compose.yml`` file. Note that
version constraints may also be provided. For example:

::

    environment:
        - APRSD_PLUGINS=aprsd-slack-plugin>=1.0.2,aprsd-twitter-plugin
