Forwarding all packets

[marrold]

Hi,

I was looking for an APRS-IS proxy so I can use Track Direct to have a local map of heard stations without the deduping behaviour and still forward packets to the public APRS-IS servers.

Looking at the config / code you currently need to supply patterns to match on before forwarding, but if I'm reading it right the matched pattern is also used as the callsign to login to APRS-IS with? Just wanted to check that's the case and if so I'm curious why you submit them as the user that sent the beacon rather than under your own callsign ?

Cheers

Hi,

The patterns is optional, the software use these patterns to replace all matching texts(not only the callsign, just for example), you can simply forward all packages to a APRS-IS with file logs enabled by:

aprsproxy -f -v

Hi, this configuration without a filter won't relay packets to the second APRS-IS server though right?

Thanks

It will forward all packages to the default APRS-IS which is china.aprs2.net:14580 at this moment, you can use this parameter to specify the target

-r, --remote

aprsproxy -r rotate.aprs2.net:14580 -f -v
