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.
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
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.
This patch adds the always enabled HelpPlugin. This plugin
now will respond to the 'help' or 'h' commands that will
automatically build a help string based on the number of
enabled plugins. It will also respond to
help <plugin> with the plugin specific help
The email plugin was still using globals for tracking
the check_email_delay as well as the config. This
patch creates a new singleton thread safe mechanism for
check_email_delay with the EmailInfo class.
This patch adjusts the py3-email-validation usage. Since we
upgraded to 1.0.2, the signature has changed. This patch adjusts
the signature usage so it works again.
Since all outbound messages have a send() method that starts
a separate there, there really is no reason for the transmit queue
thread at all. All it did was get a message from the queue and then
call send on it, which would start another thread. This removes that
intermediate TXThread. When you want to send a message just call
send() on the message object.
This patch updates the APRSDPluginBase class to include
standard methods for allowing plugins to create, start, stop
threads that the plugin might need/use. Also update the aprsd-dev
to correctly start the threads and stop them for testing plugin
functionality.
Also added more unit tests and fake objects for unit tests.
This patch refactors how the recieved message processing happens.
We now handle all incoming packets the same. Removed the notification
thread to handle the watchlist packets. This is now done with a
unified plugins architecture that allows different capabilities
via the new plugin structure. All packets sent to us will be
sent through all of the plugins. It's the plugins job to decide what to
do with that packet or ignore it.
Email is no longer a special case for the most part. All email
functions have been migrated to the EmailPlugin, including starting the
EmailThread, which works in the background to check for new emails and
send those to the registered callsign. The EmailPlugin now starts the
EmailThread itself.
All plugins are now build on the new APRSDPluginBase which has a common
set of features. The APRSDPluginBase calls self.setup() upon creation,
which allows all plugins to do whatever they want for initiali startup.
The EmailPlugin uses setup() to start the EmailThread if email is
enabled.
This patch updates the notification thread to send all packets
through the notification plugins. The plugins themselves need to
do smart filter to not reply to every packet. This allows for
more interesting plugins.
Also fixed an issue with the messages tab in the admin ui, not
showing all of the recieved packets. The messages tab now also
sees all the packets that aprsd recieves.
This patch adds a new optional feature called Watch list.
Aprsd will filter IN all aprs packets from a list of callsigns.
APRSD will keep track of the last time a callsign has been seen.
When the configured timeout value has been reached, the next time
a callsign is seen, APRSD will send the next packet from that callsign
through the new notification plugins list.
The new BaseNotifyPlugin is the default core APRSD notify based plugin.
When it gets a packet it will construct a reply message to be sent
to the configured alert callsign to alert them that the seen callsign
is now on the APRS network.
This basically acts as a notification that your watched callsign list is
available on APRS.
The new configuration options:
aprsd:
watch_list:
# The callsign to send a message to once a watch list callsign
# is now seen on APRS-IS
alert_callsign: NOCALL
# The time in seconds to wait for notification.
# The default is 12 hours.
alert_time_seconds: 43200
# The list of callsigns to watch for
callsigns:
- WB4BOR
- KFART
# Enable/disable this feature
enabled: false
# The list of notify based plugins to load for
# processing a new seen packet from a callsign.
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.notify.BaseNotifyPlugin
This patch also adds a new section in the Admin UI for showing the
watch list and the age of the last seen packet for each callsing since
APRSD startup.
This patch adds 2 items. First it adds the new StockPlugin,
which fetches stock quotes from yahoo finance rest API using
the yfinance python module.
2nd, the web interface contains a new url /plugins, which allows
aprsd to reload all of it's plugins from disk. This is useful for
development where the dev is editing an existing plugin and wants to
run the edited plugin without restarting aprsd itself. The /plugins
url requires admin login credentials.
TODO: would be nice to live reload the aprsd.yml config file, so plugin
reloading can start new plugins defined in aprsd.yml between /plugins
being reloaded.
When calling LocationPlugin with a callsign outside of the US,
the forecast.weather gov wasn't raising an exception. A valid json
dict was coming back, but it didn't have location data we were
expecting.
This patch adds the stats object to collect statistics of
the running server. This also optionally adds the ability
to run a flask web service on a port to use as a keepalive
healthcheck.
This patch reorganizes the config file layout and options
to make more logical sense as well as make it more readable.
This breaks backwards compatibility.
This patch adds the openweathermap weather plugin.
Also adds a new config option to set the overall
units setting from imperial (default) to metric.
to change it add the following to the ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yaml
...
aprsd:
units: metric
This patch adds 2 new time plugins to allow admins to use their
opencagedata APIkey or openweathermap API key to fetch the timezone
from the lat/lon GPS coordinates for the callsign requesting the time.
This will enable fetching the time local to the ham radio's last beacon,
and not time local to the aprsd server instance running. If the
location is not found, then the timezone will default to UTC.
The 2 new plugins are
- aprsd.plugins.time.TimeOpenCageDataPlugin
Fetches timezone from lat/lon using the opencagedata api that can be
found here: https://opencagedata.com/dashboard#api-keys
This requires a new ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml entry to specify the
api key.
opencagedata:
apiKey: <the api key hash here>
- aprsd.plugins.time.TimeOWMPlugin
Fetches the timezone from lat/lon using the openweathermap api
that can be found here: https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys
This requires a new ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml entry to specify the
api key.
openweathermap:
apiKey: <the api key hash here>
The existing time plugin had a hard coded PDT for pacific timezone,
when it wasn't. This patch adds some real timezone conversion from
utc to the tz of the running aprsd server. This will eventually allow
us to use either the tz of the running aprsd and/or the tz of the
calling callsign if we can just get the tz string from the location
beacon of the caller's callsign.
