Node Peer Reporter for Linux Kernel AX.25 stack

NodePeerReporter

Welcome to the Node Peer Reporter for the Linux Kernel AX.25 and NET/ROM stack. This simple script is designed to report your packet node to the M0LTEmap hosted at http://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html

Requirements

1. Bash must be installed in /bin/bash
2. Curl must be installed and in the path
3. JQ must be installed and in the path

Installation

1. Copy the main npr script to /usr/sbin/npr (as root)
2. Make the npr script executable e.g. chmod 755 /usr/sbin/npr
3. Create an /etc/npr.conf file based on the example file in this repository
4. Run /usr/sbin/npr -d (debug) to confirm that it works correctly
5. Add a crontab entry as root */20 * * * * /usr/sbin/npr >> /var/log/npr.log

Notes

• Location of the conf file is hard coded
• The script uses /proc/net/nr_neigh to determine peer nodes
• The script stores a copy of nr_neigh in /tmp as a cache when run
• The script will only make a network call if there has been a change or 3 hours have passed since the last update
