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
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 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 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 completely refactors and simplifies how the clients
are created and used. There is no need now to have a separate
KISSRXThread. Since all the custom work for the KISS client is
encapsulated in the kiss client itself, the same RX thread and
callback mechanism works for both the APRSIS client and KISS Client
objects. There is also no need to determine which transport
(aprsis vs kiss) is being used at runtime by any of the messages
objects. The same API works for both APRSIS and KISS Client objects
This patch adds APRS KISS connectivity. I have tested this with
a running Direwolf install via either a serial KISS connection or
the optional new TCPKISS connection, both to Direwolf.
This adds the new required aioax25 python library for the underlying
KISS and AX25 support.
NOTE: For the TCPKISS connection, this patch requires a pull request
patch the aioax25 library to include a TCP Based KISS TNC client to
enable the TCPKISS client So you will need to pull down this PR
https://github.com/sjlongland/aioax25/pull/7
To enable this,
Edit your aprsd.yml file and enable one of the 2 KISS connections.
Only one is supported at a time.
kiss:
serial:
enabled: True
device: /dev/ttyS1
baudrate: 9600
or
kiss:
tcp:
enabled: True
host: "ip address/hostname of direwolf"
port: "direwolf configured kiss port"
This patch alters the Message object classes to be able to
send messages out via the aprslib socket connection to the APRS-IS
network on the internet, or via the direwolf KISS TCP socket,
depending on the origination of the initial message coming in.
If an APRS message comes in via APRS-IS, then replies will go out
APRS-IS. IF an APRS message comes in via direwolf, then replies
will go out via direwolf KISS TCP socket. Both can work at the same
time.
TODO: I need some real APRS message packets to verify that
the new thread is processing packets correctly through the plugins
and able to send the resulting messages back out to direwolf.
Have a hard coded callsign for now in the kissclient consumer call,
just so I can see messages coming in from direwolf. I dont' have an
APRS capable radio at the moment to send messages directly to direwolf.
Might need to write a simple python socket server to send fake APRS
messages to aprsd kiss, just for finishing up development.
This patch updates the select timeouts for threads. This allows
threads to exit quicker when user hits CTRL-C.
Updates the KeepAlive Thread to include total packets.
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 reworks the stats object dict and includes more data.
Also includes aprsis last update timestamp (from last recieved message).
This is used to help determine if the aprsis server connection is still
alive and well.
This patch adds a check for a failed login to ARPS due to
LoginError. This accounts for bad accounts or username/password
failures. aprsd server will exit immediately upon failed login now.
This patch adds the new MsgTrack object replacing the
global ack_dict. the ack_dict was not thread safe.
the new MsgTrack is a singleton object that keeps track of
all outbound TextMessage objects. When a TextMessage.send() is called
it is added to the MsgTrack object, and when an ack is received for that
message, the message is removed from the MsgTrack object.
TODO: Add an automatic mechanism for saving the messages in MsgTrack
so that when CTRL-C is called to exit aprsd server, then the MsgTrack
state is saved to storage. When aprsd server is started up again, add
the option to try and reload state of MsgTrack.
This patch also reworked the email thread into an APRSDThread object
that can exit gracefully with CTRL-C.
NOTE: Don't call sleep() with a long time (greater than 5 seconds), as
it causes a delay in exiting aprsd until the last sleep() finishes.
Since aprsd has so many threads now for processing incoming messages and
outgoing messages, we need to coordinate all thread operations so that
they don't block the exiting of the app.
This patch reworks the threading code for processing
messages. This patch also extends the aprslib IS class
to allow us to stop processing the consumer packets when
someone hits CTRL-C correctly. Alloing the app to exit.
This patch fixes a minor issue with the new send-message command
You now should use nargs to send the email command because it includes
a - as the start. click assumed that any -<foo> looks ike an argument.
So call aprsd with
aprsd send-command <callsign> -- -wb sendmap
This patch also adds -h as a help option for aprsd to make it simpler to
type.
This patch adds the VersionPlugin so you can remotely request the
version of aprsd that's running.
This branch refactors the majority of main.py out into individual
modules to compartmentalize the code. Migrated all email related
features unti email.py, sending of messages into messaging.py
Also refactored all of the socket code to use aprslib for all APRS-IS
communication as well as message/packet processing.
Moved the email command into it's own Plugin.
