ithoq / afrimesh Goto Github PK

1. Added restart routine that works
2. Added a line that echoes the statup options to /var/run/chilli.start
3. Fixed option for statusfile
4. Added a pile of other options
5. Provided a dirty hack for adding multiple uamdomain entries without 
implementing uci's list feature.  You might want to fix that...

1) See if there are JSON plugins for NAGios, else figure out how to write one
2) Check out pmacct source code and look at how you would modify it to output 
JSON
3) Identify interesting data from pmacct/NAGios to display on dashboard map
4) Start pulling in data

The existing documentation on the web for flashing routers is not as clear as 
it could be.

Instructions that are easy to follow would include these elements:

  -> Selecting routers by photographs rather than router names
  -> Photographs showing cable connections and/or dissasembly
  -> Instructions for building/obtaining special hardware such as RS-232 voltage converters

1. On the dashboard's customers->manage tab, click "new"
2. Select any customer type and enter any customer name

Regardless of the customer type that was selected, the type of the newly
created customer is always "flatrate".

The problem appears to be with the selector on the interface, because the
actual parameter passed to the mysql/memcachedb helper functions is always
"flatrate".

For by far the majority of users the router will act as their DHCP server.

Ideally, we'd do some detection for existing DHCP servers but for now just set 
the default to on.

Add a check for the radius server status to the settings field similar to the 
one created for the mesh 
vis server and the internet gateway snmp address.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install afrimesh-portal on the router
2. Attempt to view router on dashboard map view

You will note that the router is suddenly conspicuously absent.

There are a number of files that have permission problems from a clean install:

freeradius -> /var/log/freeradius/radutmp
openwrt -> /etc/config/afrimesh

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download new copy of afrimesh-svn (not updating onto an existing svn
download)
2. Make and make install.
3. Load dashboard and click on Maps. Watch the console (Firefox with
FireBug add-on installed.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
[debug] Vis server unreachable due to unknown reason. TypeError:
afrimesh.villagebus.batman() is undefined 

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Add a check to the input box for the map server url, setting it to red if the 
map server is not valid.

Also, refresh the map view after changing the map server.

WIth both make install and package install the dashboard is installing to the 
web server's root 
directory by default.

This may not be a good idea as it is not necessarily where the user would like 
it to live and it could 
also overwrite existing content in that location.

Whereas the make rules are less troublesome as developers could be expected to 
know what they 
are doing we need to examine how our various binary targets manage installation 
of web apps from 
packages.

Added a bunch of compile options, --enable-rtmon may be unnecessary, but the 
other three all have useful consequences: 

-enable-chilliredir: Allows regex walled garden entries, though it doesn't work 
well now

--enable-statusfile: allows a human-readable status file to be specified where 
you can see login status of users

--enable-binstatusfile: This is the bomber one.  It allows you to restart 
chilli without bumping all the logged in users!


--enable_rtmon: is supposed to check the uplink interface and bump chilli if it 
changes.  as far as I can tell, this doesn't work.

When you hover the mouse over a node on the dashboard map it pops up a box with 
some 
information.

Extend the information displayed to include a list of neighboring nodes.

Currently the network map is redrawn from scratch on each startup using 
information queried 
live from the network. 

The downside to this is that it is not possible to track changes in the network 
over time in this 
way. 

For instance, a node which has gone missing since the last time the network map 
was drawn will 
simply not show up.

The proposed solution looks like this:

* store an object containing the last state of the map in some persistent 
storage

* Simply extending the object layout as generated by afrimesh.network.routers() 
will probably be 
the best candidate as it would require minimal changes to be made to the map 
code. 

* Fields will need to be added for node properties such as location, mac 
address etc.

* Initial map population should happen from this stored object.

* Subsequent queries to the live network will override the data within this 
object and raise 
warnings as required (e.g. coloring a node that has gone missing for longer 
than a certain period 
of time)

There are a couple of options for storage backend, including memcachedb, but 
the initial 
implementation should simply use the afrimesh.storage interface with the key:

  network.routers

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to login to a MP, http://192.168.1.20
2. Enter the passwd "admin", hit OK

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to login to Afrimesh, instead the login screen is re-preseneted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Ubuntu 6.06 (Yeah I know, I know).

Please provide any additional information below.

Added uci_util.c (and uci_util.h) with functions to access uci option values 
from config file. Please review.

Updated Makefile and village-bus-radius/Makefile
Added radius config file

Village-bus-radius needs to be configured using uci instead of using hard
coded values in village-bus-radius.h

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Utility -> Updates -> Reflash

Router goes through the motions and reboots but the firmware remains unchanged

1) Figure out how to pull the .osm data for a given bounding box with 
co-ordinates specified
         as:  left-longitude, bottom-latitude, right-longitude, top-latitude
         or:  center-longitude, center-latitude, extent-degrees
         or:  center-longitude, center-latitude, extent-kilometres
       . Write a script to automate the retrieval
       . Read:  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Getting_Data
  2) Figure out how to do a Mapnik render of .png tiles from the .osm data
       . Write a script to render the data retrieved above
       . Read: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering
               http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik
           http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pyrender
  3) Figure out how to serve rendered .png tiles from the dashboard server
  4) Figure out how to do a CycleMap render
       . Read: http://www.opencyclemap.org/
  5) Put all the pieces together

1) Research memcachedb
2) Check out memcachedb trunk
3) Install dependencies: libmemcached, libevent, BerkeleyDB.47
4) configure/make/make install memcachedb
5) Research writing a freeradius authentication module
6) Hack code

If you remove entries from /etc/config/afrimesh e.g.

  config 'afrimesh' 'location'
    option 'longitude' 'blah'
    blah

The Dashboard settings screen will come up with empty entries despite their 
being a default value 
specified inside afrimesh.settings.js

Please provide any additional information below.

We're working against memcachedb trunk so there are some issues:

* Make packages for all platforms from trunk

* We need rget support so we also need to include the patched libmemcached as 
discussed at:
     http://memcachedb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/rget.txt

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open http://41.223.35.110/afrimesh/
2.  Legend does not display
3.  Attempt to view image separately in browser e.g. 
http://41.223.35.110/afrimesh/images/network-map-legend.png

produces the error The image 
"http://41.223.35.110/afrimesh/images/network-map-legend.png" cannot be 
displayed because it contains errors"

I downloaded the png file and attempted to load it in an image viewer.  Image 
view claimed it was not a png file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download Ubuntu 10.4 LTS
2.follow instructions for afrimesh installation using ubuntu sudo 
apt-add-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/afrimesh/ppa/ubuntu hardy 
main" 
3.sudo apt-get install afrimesh-dashboard  

What is the expected output? install afrimesh dashboard What do you see 
instead? dashboard package not found?


What version of the product are you using? latest On what operating system? 
Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and or 10.10

[deleted issue]

We want semantics like this across the whole stack:

var foo = afrimesh.some.remote.call.sync();
if (foo.error) {
  // handle error
}

afrimesh.some.remote.call.async(function(foo) {
    if (foo.error) {
      // handle error
    }
  });

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. touch /etc/config/some-config-section on router. 
2. http://router.address/cgi-bin/village-bus-uci
3. Inspection will reveal a ", ," between the section immediately preceding and 
immediately 
following the config section you created.

Currently the map will look for tiles at:

  http://afrimesh.settings.map.server/tiles

It would be nice to be able to set a different suffix to that url for servers 
where the tiles are stored 
in a different location.

1) install google earth
2) read up about the google earth file format
3) create link on the network map
4) create an eventhandler for the link
5) write a function that outputs some html to the browser when clicked
6) extend function to output some data in google earth file format 
7) extend function to output router information in google earth file format

Hitting enter on an input on the settings page will submit the form.

Trap the key event handler and disable submission on enter, instead calling the 
function to save the 
configuration.

Added uci_util.c (and uci_util.h) with functions to access uci config options
Created radius config file in config/radius with default values
Added abovementioned files to Makefile and village-bus-radius/Makefile where 
relevant

Freshly flashed routers allow telnet access on all interfaces with no login 
password.

While a strong argument could be made for leaving this as the default setting 
on the lan interface it 
is certainly not a good idea for the wireless interface!
