Web statistics interface for direwolf Software TNC A simple statistics and information generator for Direwolf software TNC, which allows to monitor load, frames, stations details, statistics from selected time window and more.
- Possibility to monitor multiple radio interfaces
- Possibility to show cusom info and custom logo file on the bottom of the page (edit “custom.php” file, which can contain HTML and PHP code)
- Counters of total frames in log
- System status table (reads parameters directly from OS, available only for linux version)
- Heard station list table (observation period selectable by the user in a drop-down list) with following fields:
- Heard Callsign
- N. of packets heard for callsign
- Direct link for showing the station on aprs.fi
- Static/moving indicator
- Via indicator (digi/direct/digi+direct)
- Raw packet view for each callsign
- Possibility to sort the table in ascending or descending order on each colum
- Live monitor page: ajax page for watching ax25 traffic in realtime.
Update your system:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Install a lightweight webserver:
sudo apt-get install lighttpd
Install PHP and enable the required modules:
If you use a Raspian Wheezy and Raspbian Jessie use:
sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-cgi php5
If you use a Raspian Stretch or Raspbian Buster use:
sudo apt-get install php7.3-common php7.3-cgi php
Now continue with:
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
then just copy all files to the webistes folder in your WWW server directory.
To configure, open config.php file with some text editor.
Enter full path to your direwolf log file directory:
$logpath = "/some/path/";
I put it under /var/log/direwolf/ but you are free to decide. Incorrect path will make the script unable to work.
This was the only required step and now software should work.
It's recommended to set also another settings:
Your station latitude and longtitude for distance calculation (in decimal degrees):
$stationlat = 49.013855;
$stationlon = 28.762225;
Normally every time you open statistics website, you have to enter interface index of Direwolf (starts from 0 by default). If you want to set static interface callsign (but it can be temporarily changed via website for one session), you can do this here:
$static_if = 1;
$static_if_index = 0;
Set $static_if to 1 to enable
NOTE: remember to execute direwolf with "-l" option, otherwise the log is not generated and the interface won't work
A special version that can run under windows is available in a separate branch: https://github.com/IZ7BOJ/direwolf_webstat/tree/Windows-Version In the Windows version, the system table is omitted since it's not so easy to retrieve OS data. My tests have been done with Abyss Web Server and php8.2.
- Download Abyss and php from the these links: (https://aprelium.com/abyssws/) (https://windows.php.net/download/)
- Download the windows version of direwolf webstat from the previous link
- Unzip the content in the "htdocs" subfolder of Abyss Web server
- Edit config.php and specify direwolf log path, radio interfaces and coordinates of your station NOTE: logpath must end with double backslash (\) otherwise it's interpreted as an escape character!
- If you want, add custom info that you want to show on the web page inside custom.php
- Add php support to Abyss following this guide: https://aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html
- Add the following lines to php.ini file in order to make php working correctly:
cgi.force_redirect = 0
force_cgi_redirect = 0
- Enjoy or ask me help if it doesn't work
Note: Abyss shall be executed with administrator privileges
