this patch adds the new PacketCollector class.
It's a single point for collecting information about
packets sent and recieved from the APRS client.
Basically instead of having the packetlist call the seen list
when we get a packet, we simply call the PacketCollector.rx(),
which in turn calls each registered PacketMonitor class.
This allows us to decouple the packet stats like classses inside
of APRSD. More importantly, it allows extensions to append their
own PacketMonitor class to the chain without modifying ARPSD.
This patch removes the need for the RPC Server from aprsd.
APRSD Now saves it's stats to a pickled file on disk in the
aprsd.conf configured save_location. The web admin UI
will depickle that file to fetch the stats. The aprsd server
will periodically pickle and save the stats to disk.
The Logmonitor will not do a url post to the web admin ui
to send it the latest log entries.
Updated the healthcheck app to use the pickled stats file
and the fetch-stats command to make a url request to the running
admin ui to fetch the stats of the remote aprsd server.
This does some cleanup with the stats collector and
usage of the stats. The patch adds a new optional
param to the collector's collect() method to tell
the object to provide serializable stats. This is
used for the webchat app that sends stats to the
browser.
This patch implements a new stats collector paradigm
which uses the typing Protocol. Any object that wants to
supply stats to the collector has to implement the
aprsd.stats.collector.StatsProducer protocol, which at the
current time is implementing a stats() method on the object.
Then register the stats singleton producer with the collector by
calling collector.Collector().register_producer()
This only works if the stats producer object is a singleton.
This patch adds the new APRSRegistryThread,
which enabled in config, will send a small
packet of information to the as yet deployed
APRS service registry every 900 seconds.
The data that this thread will send is
the service callsign, a description of the service,
a website url for the service.
The idea being that the registry website that this thread
sends information to, will show all the services that are
running on the ARPS network, so Ham operators can discover
them and try them out.
This patch adds the new feature of trying to fetch the location
distance and bearing for each callsign in the webchat tabs.
This is handy when out on the go, you can get a general idea
where the other callsign is when chatting with them.
First aprsd webchat tries to fetch the location with aprs.fi
REST api call. This assumes internet access. If this fails,
then webchat will send a special message to REPEAT to ask it for
the location information for the callsign. This will send over
the air.
This patch adds a new popover in the webchat tab to show
the location information for a callsign.
webchat will try to hit aprs.fi to fetch the location from the
callsign's last beacon. If there is no internet, this will fail
and webchat will send a request to REPEAT callsign for the location
information.
This patch adds the new packet_dump_timeout config option, defaulting to
60 seconds. If the same packet matching the from, to, msgNo is RX'd
within that timeout the packet is considered a dupe and will be
dropped. Ack packets are not subject to dupe checking.
This patch adds the ability to webchat to set the path
on every outbound packet for the KISS clients as well as
the fake client. The path dropdown includes the options for
Default path (which will default to the config setting)
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1
ARISS
This patch adds an auto mouseover hover popover for displaying
the raw APRS packet.
This patch also adds the notification counter for an unselected tab.
This patch changes the order of the threads starting. The Keepalive
thread's job is to test the aprsis/kiss client to see if it's up and
running, and then issue a reset if it's down. On SIGINT, the keepalive
might issue that reset in the middle of a shutdown, which might cause
things to hang when everything should be shutting down. Making the
KeepaliveThread first, means it will be the first to be shut down as
well, preventing the next loop from resetting the client.
This patch updates the web ui for webchat to suppress the displaying
of duplicate recieved messages. Dupes can happen over the KISS
interface due to packets being encapsulated by nearby repeaters into 3rd
party packets.
When a dupe message is recieved, the dupe message is flashed 3 times.
This patch makes use of the gps settings in the webchat section.
If the user sets the latitude and longitude in the config file, then
the gps beacon button will be enabled. The gps button will still be
enabled if the http connection is over SSL.
This patch adds a new webchat config section to specify:
web_ip (the ip address to listen on)
web_port
latitude (latitude to use for the GPS beacon button)
longitude (long to use for the GPS beacon button)
This immediately breaks the beacon button.
This patch removes the dep for pyopenssl and cryptography
so that aprsd install on the rpi.
Unfortunately in order for the web page to get the Lat/Lon, the
browser must be connected over SSL. Will have to create a workaround
for this later.
This patch adjusts the backoff mechanism for aprs client
reconnect to a max backoff sleep of 5 seconds. This prevents
an exponential backoff when connection retrying.
This patch removed the dependency on flask-classful. This required
making all of the flask web routing non class based.
This patch also changes the aprsis class to allow retries for failed
connections when the aprsis servers are full and not responding to
login requests.
