This whole project is still a major WIP. Details to follow.
Basically, this is supposed to be a modernized BBS for radio,
but with clients and servers exchanging binary messages
(which can be compressed automatically) rather than human-typed text.
Right now, it will use ax25 connected sessions through AGWPE,
though I make add an unconnected protocol using UI later on..
I'm planning several features like:
- automatic compression for all RF communication
- messages for other users
- RF beacon
- administration over RF
- object storage/retrieval
- running user-defined scripts or shell commands on the server in containers with podman/docker
- possibly a cron system (again in containers for safety)
- maybe an e-mail or an sms gateway (though clever user uploaded scripts could do this instead)
- maybe APRS integration through APRS-IS
I may also add a TCP/IP interface to this later, since that shouldn't be too difficult. We'll see.
I'm envisioning using a couple of python CLI clients with this for now, or possibly an android or
PC GUI, assuming an AGWPE TNC is available on the network.
