TXXLog

This project is a web application for amateur radio contest logging.

Status: Minimum Viable Product. Has basic logging abilities specific to Winter Field Day. Aiming for more generic contest/qso support by Field Day in June 2020.

The goals:

• modern web technology to allow flexibility of client devices with any OS
• Multi-user and multi-station logging
• Easy to use UI that allows efficient operation
• Deployable on a Raspberry Pi for field operation

TODO List

• Add views and forms to be able to complete basic interactions for WFD
• Cabrillo file export
• Add basic websocket support for realtime interaction
• Support more generic contest format, not just Winter Field Day

Development

This is a Ruby on Rails 6 application.

Initialize Database

It’s currently using sqlite for the database, so it should be automatically created when the server starts.

Install dependencies

bundle install
yarn install
bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Start the server

bundle exec rails s

Access the server at http://localhost:3000/

To allow connections not just from localhost:

bundle exec rails s -b 0.0.0.0

Start an interactive console

bundle exec rails c

Deploy

TODO instructions for running application with docker, including raspberry pi specific instructions.
