This program runs continuously to populate a database of publicly broadcast Meshtastic node positions. It does this by:
- subscribing to the
msh/2/c/LongFast/#topic on MQTT mqtt.meshtastic.org - decoding any messages that are coming from nodes publicly sharing their location
- store the location (plus some other information) in the database
This is ultimately building the database to serve https://github.com/tobymurray/meshtastic-populator
Takes configuration from a .env file that looks like:
MQTT_HOST=mqtt.meshtastic.org
MQTT_PORT=1883
MQTT_USER=tr-development
MQTT_TOPIC=msh/2/c/LongFast/#
POSTGRES_DATABASE=meshtastic
POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=reallysecretpassword
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_TABLE=positions
