Discord APRS gateway

Primary LanguagePython

Discord APRS bot

Add the discord bot to your server with this link.

Sending messages to Discord

Send APRS messages to DISCRD prefixed with the channel id. You can get the channel ID by doing /aprs.

Example

Sending messages to APRS

Use /sendaprs [to_call] [from_call] [aprs_passcode] [message]

Some notes of privacy

APRS is unencrypted, and basically unauthenicated. Keep this in mind. Best practice is to limit the bot to a single channel specific for APRS messages.

Building / Running

You shouldn't need to run your own bot but if you want to the easiest way is using docker

docker build -t aprsdiscord .
docker run -e CALLSIGN=YOUR_CALLSIGN -e DISCORD_TOKEN=BOT_TOKEN -e SERVER_NAME=APRS_SERVER_NAME aprsdiscord

DO NOT USE DISCRD as your SERVER_NAME!!!
