# Dependencies
- npm
- bower
- grunt-cli
- Sass (>= 3.2)
# Installing dependencies
Install npm and Sass with your package-manager. On Debian-like systems run:
sudo apt-get install npm ruby-sass
Execute these commands on your server as a normal user to prepare the dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/tcatm/meshviewer.git
cd meshviewer
npm install
npm install bower grunt-cli
node_modules/.bin/bower install
# Configure
Copy `config.js.example` to `config.js` and change it to match your community.
## dataPath (string)
`dataPath` must point to a directory containing `nodes.json` and `graph.json`
(both are generated by
[ffmap-backend](https://github.com/ffnord/ffmap-backend)). Don't forget the
trailing slash! Data may be served from a different domain with [CORS enabled].
Also, GZip will greatly reduce bandwidth consumption.
## siteName (string)
Change this to match your communities' name. It will be used in various places.
## mapSigmaScale (float)
This affects the initial scale of the map. Greater values will show a larger
area. Values like 1.0 and 0.5 might be good choices.
## showContact (bool)
Setting this to `false` will hide contact information for nodes.
## maxAge (integer)
Nodes being online for less than maxAge days are considered "new". Likewise,
nodes being offline for less than than maxAge days are considered "lost".
## nodeInfos (array, optional)
This option allows to show client statistics depending on following case-sensitive parameters:
- `name` caption of statistics segment in infobox
- `href` absolute or relative URL to statistics image
- `thumbnail` absolute or relative URL to thumbnail image,
can be the same like `href`
- `caption` is shown, if `type` is `link` (no thumbnail in infobox)
To insert current node-id in either `href`, `thumbnail` or `caption`
you can use the case-sensitive template string `{NODE_ID}`.
Examples for `nodeInfos`:
"nodeInfos": [
{ "name": "Clientstatistik"
"href": "nodes/{NODE_ID}.png",
"thumbnail": "nodes/{NODE_ID}.png",
"caption": "Knoten {NODE_ID}"
},
{ "name": "Uptime",
"href": "nodes_uptime/{NODE_ID}.png",
"thumbnail": "nodes_uptime/{NODE_ID}.png",
"caption": "Knoten {NODE_ID}"
}
]
In order to have statistics images available, you have to run the backend with parameter `--with-rrd` or generate them in other ways.
# Building
Just run the following command from the meshviewer directory:
node_modules/.bin/grunt
This will generate `build/` containing all required files.
