packetserver

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.
