Howto install Yanic

go

cd /usr/local/
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvf go1.8.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm go1.8.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Yanic

Compile

As root:

go get -v -u github.com/FreifunkBremen/yanic

Work with other databases

If you like to use another database solution than influxdb, Pull Requests are welcome. Just fork this project and create another subpackage within the folder database/. Take this folder as example: database/logging/.

Configure Yanic

cp /opt/go/src/github.com/FreifunkBremen/yanic/config_example.toml /etc/yanic.conf

For an easy startup you only need to edit the interfaces in section [respondd] in file /etc/yanic.conf.

Then create the following folders:

mkdir -p /var/lib/yanic
mkdir -p /var/www/html/meshviewer/data

Standalone

If you like to run a standalone meshviewer, just set enable in section [webserver] to true.

Configure the meshviewer:

set dataPath in config.json to /data/ and make the build directory accessible under /var/www/html/meshviewer.

With webserver (Apache, nginx)

The meshviewer needs the output files like nodes_path and graph_path inside the same directory as the dataPath. Change the path in the section [meshviewer] accordingly.

Service

cp /opt/go/src/github.com/FreifunkBremen/yanic/contrib/init/linux-systemd/yanic.service /lib/systemd/system/
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start yanic
systemctl enable yanic
