is a little software to manage gluon nodes with the help of ssh and yanic
(used on the Breminale since 2017)
## Getting Started
- install Go (version 1.10 or higher)
- note that system packages are usually too old; see https://golang.org/doc/install for install instructions
- set $GOPATH (`export GOPATH=$HOME/go`)
- full install:
- mkdir -p ~/inst
- cd ~/inst
- wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- tar xf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- export PATH=~/inst/go/bin/:$PATH
- export GOROOT=~/inst/go/
- install nodejs >= 4.8
- mkdir -p ~/inst
- cd ~/inst
- wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.11.3/node-v8.11.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
- tar xf node-v8.11.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
- export PATH=~/inst/node-v8.11.3-linux-x64/bin/:$PATH
- install yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
- mkdir -p ~/inst
- cd ~/inst
- wget https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v1.7.0/yarn-v1.7.0.tar.gz
- tar xf yarn-v1.7.0.tar.gz
- export PATH=~/inst/yarn-v1.7.0/bin/:$PATH
- download and build freifunkmanager:
- go get -t github.com/FreifunkBremen/freifunkmanager/...
- go get github.com/mattn/goveralls
- go get "golang.org/x/tools/cmd/cover"
- cd ~/go/src/github.com/FreifunkBremen/freifunkmanager/
- go build
- cd webroot
- yarn install
- yarn gulp build
- run:
- ./freifunkmanager -config config_example.conf
## Usage
Visit http://localhost:8080/
Navigation bar at top of page:
- marker icon: ???
- List: show list of all known nodes
- use Edit link in last column of a node to edit its details; changes made on the Edit page are saved immediately
- to change just the hostname, double-click on hostname field in list and make your change
- Map: show map of nodes
- use Layers icon in upper right corner to enable geojson overlay and view clients
- Statistics: show statistics about nodes, clients, used channels...
- Login with text field: enter password (value of "secret" in config file) and click "Login" to log in
- this is necessary to make any changes
- there is no user management; anybody who has the password has full access
- blue rectangle on the far right: ??? (connection status?)
- click to reconnect?
## Technical Details
List of known APs will be retrieved from Yanic (ie. representing live data).
Additionally, APs can be added manually by visiting a page like /#/n/apname (where apname is the name of the new AP), and then
Each browser tab has a websocket connection to the server, so changes made in one tab will appear immediately in other tabs as well
All changes are saved to state file (eg. /tmp/freifunkmanager.json - can be changed in config file).
