# UPLINK 0.1
TODO: Write description.
## Requirements
- Python >= 3.8
- fritzconnection >= 1.3.4 (Included as Git submodule. See installation instructions below)
- https://pypi.org/project/fritzconnection/
- https://fritzconnection.readthedocs.io/en/1.3.4/index.html
- Git (Just to install the way I do. You can also install downloading a .zip file and install libraries by yourself... not what I like, so I actually will not take care of this.)
## Installation
git clone https://git.unixpeople.org/hanez/uplink.git
cd uplink
git submodule update --init --recursive
cp config.example.json config.json
### Configuration
Edit config.json to your needs.
#### Variables
- interval: The polling interval
- database: Path to sqlite3 Database
- uplinks: List of devices you want to poll
- provider: Custom name of the uplink provider
- ip: The IP of the router device
- password: The password of the router device
#### Example
{
"interval": 60,
"database": "./uplink.sqlite3",
"cron_mode": false,
"uplinks": [
{ "provider": "Cable Provider", "ip": "192.168.0.1", "password": "1234" },
{ "provider": "DSL Provider", "ip": "192.168.1.1", "password": "1234" }
]
}
### Create Database
sqlite3 uplink.sqlite3 < uplink.sql
## Usage
./uplink ./config.json
### Help
./uplink --help
## View collected data
I actually use "[DB Browser for SQLite](https://sqlitebrowser.org/)" for taking a look at the
data uplink is collecting.
There will be a Gtk+ frontend to uplink at some time but this project is at a very early
stage of development, so I want to write the collector first. Even support for other SQL
databases is in planning in conjunction with the Gtk+ frontend. I use sqlite3 only because I
can move fast-forward.
## TODO
- A lot... :)
- SQL server backend
- Gtk+ frontend
- ~~A cron mode to not let uplink run in an endless loop to be scheduled and executed by cron.~~
- A daemon mode to be a real UNIX daemon. For now, it's just "sleep" based.
- Platform independence
