The kiss client send method was always forcing the config
path. If a packet has a path specified in it, that will
override the config setting for the kiss client setting in the config.
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)

The packet msgNo field is a string, but is typically is an integer
counter to keep track of a specific packet id. The counter was
returning an int, but the packet.msgNo is a string. So, when trying to
delete a packet from the packet tracker, the key for accessing the
packet is the msgNo, which has to be a string. Passing an int, will
cause the packet tracker to not find the packet, and hence silently
fail.
This patch forces the msgNo counter to be a string.
This patch rewrites the packet_list internally to be a dictionary
instead of a list for very fast lookups. This was needed to test for
duplicate packets already in the list.
This patch drops packets that have the same data and are < 60 seconds
in age from the last time we got the packet. On RF based clients
we can get dupes!!
Sometimes over KISS clients (RF), we can get duplicate packets
due to having many digipeters in range of the TNC that aprsd is
connected to. We will now filter out any dupe packets that aprsd
is still in the process of doing it's 3 acks.
After the refactor of the messages object in webchat, we are sending
a direct json dict version of the packet now. This means there is no
msg.id in the dict, but msg.msgNo instead. This should help fix
the display of dupes.
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 layout containers a bit. Moved the tabs to the
header section and made the tab contents fill the rest of the height of
the browser and it is the only portion that scrolls.
This patch will set the to_call form field to the callsign of the
tab when the tab is activated in the UI.
NOTE: still need to populate it when clicking on the already active
tab.
This patch reworks the webchat UI to work in both desktop
and mobile layouts. Comprimises were made, but there is 1
codebase now between both desktop and mobile.
This patch also includes the new imessage/sms chat look.
This patch saves the webchat conversations messages in the browser's
local storage. When the user comes back to the page, the
conversations are restored.
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)
The kiss clients now detect if the incomming packet is a third party
packet and then sends up the subpacket instead of the encapsulated
packet up to the consumer.
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.
The KISS client sends the path as part of the headers, so we had
to strip out the path from the payload of each message so the path
wouldn't get listed twice.
When running the web admin interface with
'python -m aprsd.wsgi' the Flask app global now uses
the web_ip config entry for listening. Also disabled
debug output.
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 starts the work to replace flask-socketio with
python-socketio so that uwsgi can be used instead of gunicorn.
uwsgi can support websockets.
Have to rework webchat command next
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.
You can now fetch and view the stats of a live running aprsd server
if it has enabled the rpc server in the config file's rpc_settings
block.
You just have to match the magic word as specified in the config file to
authorize against the rpc server.
aprsd fetch-stats --ip-address <ip of aprsd> --port <port> --magic-word
<magic word>
This patch replaces the ratelimiter library with rush for rate limiting
as the ratelimiter package doesn't work with python 3.11.
This patch also refactors the flask.pu to admin_web.py and
aprsd.py to main.py
Added the ability to start the rpc server for fetching stats from the
listen command. If the rpc server is enabled in config, the rpc
server will now start.
Added geopy as a dependency for the location plugin.
The us weather service API is now broken upstream.
Reworked the requirements.txt and dev-requirements.txt files
This patch updates the aprsd listen command to add the packet-plugins
argument which allows enabling a single plugin to work against the
packets recieved from the aprsis network.
This patch adds basic ratelimiting to sending out AckPackets
and non AckPackets. This provides a basic way to prevent
aprsd from sending out packets as fast as possible, which isn't
great for a bandwidth limited network.
This patch also adds some keepalive checks to all threads in the
threadslist as well as the network client objects (apris, kiss)
For whatever reason passing in group in python 3.9.x
fails for importlib_metadata.entry_points. This patch
fetches all and filters through them to get the real
oslo.config.opts entry points now. This is to find all
of the config options of aprsd and the plugins
After adding the rpc service for aprsd server and separating the
admin web REST interface, healthcheck no longer worked. The stats
are available via rpc now.
This patch adds the ObjectPacket. This is used by the REPEAT plugins
to send out an object in message packet to let radios tune directly
to the station.
The regex search is now by default case insensitive.
Also update each core plugin to better match the command.
ping plugin can now match on
p
p foo
ping
pIng
Weather plugins can now match on
w
wx
wX
Wx KM6LYW
weather
WeaTher
This patch moves the plugin manager to early in the startup
process so that the plugins get loaded, which also means each
plugin's custom config settings will be in the CONF object.
This allows dumping the entire CONF with all the plugin settings.
This patch introduces rpyc based RPC client/server for
the flask web interface to call into the running aprsd server
command to fetch stats, logs, etc to send to the browser.
This allows running the web interface via gunicorn command
gunicorn -k gevent --reload --threads 10 -w 1 aprsd.flask:app --log-level DEBUG
This patch is the initial conversion of the custom config
and config file yaml format to oslo_config's configuration mechanism.
The resulting config format is now an ini type file.
The default location is ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.conf
This is a backwards incompatible change. You will have to rebuild
the config file and edit it.
Also any aprsd plugins can now define config options in code and
add an setup.cfg entry_point definition
oslo_config.opts =
foo.conf = foo.conf:list_opts
This patch decouples sending a message from the internals of
the Packet classes. This allows the rest of the code to use
Packet objects as type hints in methods to enforce Packets
in the plugins.
The send method was moved to a single place in the threads.tx.send()
This patch updates both the webchat and listen commands
to be able to use the new queue based packet RX processing.
APRSD used to start a thread for every packet received, now
packets are pushed into a queue for processing by other threads
already running.
This patch cleans up the Packet class attributes used to
keep track of how many times packets have been sent and
the last time they were sent. This is used by the PacketTracker
and the tx threads for transmitting packets
The messaging.py now is nothing but a shell that
contains a link to packets.NULL_MESSAGE to help maintain
some backwards compatibility with plugins.
Packets dataclass has fully replaced messaging objects.
This patch adds the needed code to construct the raw output
string for sending a GPSPacket.
TODO: Need to incorporate speed, course, rng, position ambiguity ?
TODO: Need to add option to 'compress' the output location data.
This patch reworks all the packet processing to use the new
Packets objects. Nuked all of the messaging classes.
backwards incompatible changes
all messaging.py classes are now gone and replaced by
packets.py classes
With more testing of the webchat beaconing, found a problem
with the packet format for the beacon. This patch fixes the
packet format of the beacon.
Also added a timeout when trying to get the GPS location in the browser,
otherwise it could never come back.
the device detector was taking 1 minute on a raspi to parse out the
user-agent string from the browser. user-agents takes 2 seconds,
which still isn't great, but 'doable' for the webchat interface.
This patch refactors the rx threads a bit to reuse some code
responsible for processing acks when packets are received.
This also eliminates a custom thread in the webchat command for
processing received packets now that there is common code in the base
classes.
This patch fixes an issue where aprsd was deciding if it was
supposed to process a packet destined for itself or not. It was
making a case sensitive comparison. This patch makes that comparison
case insensitive for the callsign itself.
This patchset allow getting the GPS coordinates from the browser's
geolocation API (which can be denied by user), then send's the GPS
coordinates to aprsd via socketio and then aprsd sends a beacon.
This allows the APRS network to know the location of the person running
the webchat app via browser so packets can get routed back to it.
This patch reworks the KISS client to get rid of
aioax25 as it was too difficult to work with due to
heavy use of asyncio.
Switched to the kiss3 pypi library.
This patch updates the main aprsd threads class to use
a shared queue to notify all aprsd thread classes they need
to exit. This ensures any closing down of sockets, etc happens from
inside the context of the thread itself, not the MainThread that
calls stop.
This patch changes how aprsd identifies itself when connected to
any client, which is not relying on the login for each client.
There are 3 supported clients currently
aprsis,
tcpkiss
serialkiss.
Each client has their own potential login/callsign to connect
to the remote. This patch tells aprsd to use the new config option
aprsd.callsign as a means to identify itself. It will accept
packets as <aprsd.callsign> and reply as <aprsd.callsign> regardless
of which client object is being used to connect to the remote.
Note: this breaks backwards compatibility. This patch now requires
the new config option
aprsd:
callsign: <callsign>
This patch creates a threads directory and separates out
the contents of threads.py into separate files in the
threads directory to make it easier to find and maintain.
This patch updates the config option checking for
required fields in the config yaml file. Specifically
for the existence of the aprsd: section
and the required fields for the 3 supported client types
apris,
kiss serial,
kiss tcp
This patch changes the base Message class to
ensure that all printing of the message class only
outputs the message in the truncated and bad word filtering
enabled in the log.
The APRS_LOGIN and APRS_PASSWORD arguments now fallback
to the config file if it exists.
First it checks the passed in parameters, then checks the
environement vars, then checks the parsed config to find the
login and password.
This patch also adds unit tests for the send-message command to
check the fallback.
This patch fixes an issue with the processing of packets
and updateing the watchlist. Previously after the
notify plugin processed the packet it would update the watchlist.
This doesn't work when there are more than 1 notify plugins
enabled, only the first notify plugin seeing the packet will
recognize that the callsign is old.
This patch updates the logging facility to ensure that
logging to a file works even when --quiet mode is selected.
Also update the listen and list-plugins command to show
a console.status line while waiting for results to come in.
This patch updates the ouput of the list-plugins command.
This also adds the ability to show the available plugins
to install that are published packages on pypi.org.
This also shows the list of installed packages from pypi.org
The watchlist notify plugin is supposed to send an APRS message
to the configured callsign. This patch makes sure that the
message is sent to the notify_callsign
The python rich library is extensive and has a really nice
log format that is easier to read and has built in formatting
and coloring of the log output.
To enable rich logging add rich_logging: True in the config file.
This patch updates the healthcheck command to not require
the aprsd.yml config file to exist. The healthcheck
calls a running aprsd, collects the stats to determine if it's
healthy.
This removed the requirement of running APRSD for specifying
the aprs.fi key in the config file. The plugins that need the
key have been updated to set enabled = False when the key is missing.
