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 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 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.
This patch moves all of the plugins out of plugin.py
into their own separate plugins/<plugin>.py file. This
makes it easier to maintain each plugin.
NOTE: You will have to update your ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml
to change the python location path for each plugin enabled.
For example:
OLD:
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugin.EmailPlugin
TO NEW
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.email.EmailPlugin
