I was thinking how to monitor APRS statistic from my iGates (from me or friends), one proper way is to run a APRS proxy server between iGates and APRS-IS server. But I just could not find a software to do this so I decided to write my own.
This APRS proxy server would received packets from devices, logged it into files, generate statistic or send/forward specific aprs packets to other application, replace the text to meet my requirement and resend packets to native APRS-IS server.
- Text replacing with multiple keywords
- Build-in forwarder
- Simple, no config file with only one command
- Handle multi client connections with highly efficiency
- You can use aprs-is via domain name
- Daily log to files
- Work with docker
$ ./aprsproxy -h
