v1.9.0 - Subpath Hosting, Direct Node Links, and Peer Distances

This release adds proper subpath hosting support and improves node sharing and peer visibility.

---

Subpath Hosting

Added APP_BASE_PATH, allowing the map to be hosted from a subpath such as:

/livemap

instead of only from /.

This work originated from:

• PR #65 by @chrisdavis2110

Covered Areas

• App shell URLs
• Static asset URLs
• WebSocket path
• Service worker registration and scope
• Manifest URL, start_url, and scope
• Turnstile verification flow
• Auth cookie path
• Preview/share image URLs

This release also includes follow-up fixes so preview and Open Graph image URLs work correctly when using both:

• APP_BASE_PATH
• Public site URLs

---

Direct Node Links and Peer Distances

This work originated from:

• PR #66 by @mitchellmoss

Node popups now include direct map-link actions:

• Copy node link
• Copy repeater link

The generated links preserve current map state plus a target device.

Opening a shared link now:

• Automatically enables node visibility if hidden
• Focuses the target device
• Zooms to it
• Opens its popup

Supported Link Parameters

• node
• repeater
• device
• device_id
• public_key
• pubkey

The Peers tool now shows distance when both endpoints have coordinates.

Backend

• /peers/{device_id} now includes:

  • distance_m

Frontend

• Renders peer distance using the currently selected unit system:

  • Kilometers
  • Miles

---

Compatibility

For normal root-hosted installs:

• No configuration changes required
• Existing / deployments behave the same
• APP_BASE_PATH remains dormant unless explicitly configured

---

What's Changed

• [codex] Add direct node links and peer distances by @mitchellmoss in #66
