EasyMesh Network Topology UI

Requirements

For initial set-up, you'll need a serial or SSH connection to the Controller in your EasyMesh network (for running ubus commands.)

• The controller in the prplMesh network must have lighttpd and amx-fcgi built/deployed.
• The port that the controller will listen for HTTP requests on is configurable in the lighttpd.conf file, located at /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
  • Change the port via the server.port = <int> entry. Defaults to 8080.
• Configure the firewall on the Controller to permit incoming HTTP traffic on the port you want, or just do iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

To test whether or not the HTTP<->Ambiorix proxy is running, and the port is open, do:

curl -u username:pass "http://<controller_ip>:<controller_port>/serviceElements/Device."

You'll additionally need some external packages:

sudo apt install graphviz

To Run the topologyviewer:

python -m venv ./

source ./bin/activate

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python main.py

firefox localhost:8050 & disown
