# Data for Freifunk Map, Graph and Node List
|
||||
|
||||
ffmap-backend gathers information on the batman network by invoking
|
||||
batctl
|
||||
and
|
||||
batadv-vis
|
||||
as root (via sudo) and has this information placed into a target directory
|
||||
as the file "nodes.json" and also updates the directory "nodes" with graphical
|
||||
representations of uptimes and the number of clients connecting.
|
||||
|
||||
The target directory is suggested to host all information for interpreting those
|
||||
node descriptions, e.g. as provided by https://github.com/ffnord/ffmap-d3.git .
|
||||
When executed without root privileges, we suggest to grant sudo permissions
|
||||
within wrappers of those binaries, so no further changes are required in other
|
||||
scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ cat <<EOCAT > $HOME/batctl
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
exec sudo /usr/sbin/batctl $*
|
||||
EOCAT
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
and analogously for batadv-vis. The entry for /etc/sudoers could be
|
||||
whateveruser ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/batctl,/usr/sbin/batadv-vis,/usr/sbin/alfred-json
|
||||
|
||||
The destination directory can be made directly available through apache:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ cat /etc/apache2/site-enabled/000-default
|
||||
...
|
||||
<Directory /home/whateverusername/www/>
|
||||
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
allow from all
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
$ cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/freifunk
|
||||
Alias /map /home/ffmap/www/
|
||||
Alias /firmware /home/freifunk/autoupdates/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
To execute, run
|
||||
./mkmap.sh ../www
|
||||
The script expects above described sudo-wrappers in the $HOME directory of the user executing
|
||||
the script. If those are not available, an error will occurr if not executed as root. Also,
|
||||
the tool realpath optionally allows to execute the script from anywhere in the directory tree.
|
||||
|
||||
For the script's regular execution add the following to the crontab:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
*/5 * * * * /home/ffmap/ffmap-backend/mkmap.sh /home/ffmap/www
|
||||
</pre>
|
