SatNOGS station monitor?

ko2f · September 2, 2023, 11:20pm

I used and was very happy with the SatNOGS station monitor that Wose put together a few years back. I’m refurbishing my ground stations and am wondering if anyone is still using this tool. If so:

Does it run with the current Satnogs software?
Is there any documentation for installation/configuration?

Yes, it still works. I had some issue building it but had some trial and error done.
My method is in the docker addons I use and useage roughly documented here

github.com

kng/satnogs-client-docker/blob/main/addons/Dockerfile#L110-L119


      
          # rust build
          RUN curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs -o rustinstall.sh
          RUN sh ./rustinstall.sh -y --default-toolchain nightly
          
          # satnogs-monitor
          RUN git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/wose/satnogs-monitor.git
          RUN cd satnogs-monitor/monitor &&\
              . "$HOME/.cargo/env" &&\
              cargo update &&\
              cargo build --release --out-dir /target/usr/bin -Z unstable-options

I was not able to make it build reliably with debian packages for rust, it is probably possible but I am not that good with rust.
