Web application for setup of Arctic Tracker using the tracker's REST API.
- It can handle muliple trackers and configure the most important settings. For full control, use the command shell via the USB port.
- Additional trackers on the same LAN can be automatically discovered using mDNS.
- It uses strong authentication (Shared secret + HMAC).
- It supports CORS so the origin of the webapp can be different from the tracker itself.
- Responsive design.
This webapp is included in the Arctic Tracker firmware. Point your web-broser to the tracker. The IP address and the mDNS hostname is shown on the display if connected to a WIFI access point. The browser and the tracker has to be on the same LAN. If the tracker is used as a soft-ap, you can also find the SSID and the IP-address on the display. The webapp can also be used from http://arctictracker.no/webapp (if your trackers are connected via WIFI to your LAN). A smartphone app (Android) is also under way.
Currently the tracker uses a self-signed certificate so you may need to accept the certificate the first time you use it from a browser. It is a good idea to try access the tracker directly from your web-browser when its firmware is updated to make sure that the certificate-exception is there.
You can enter the callsign and the api-key in the "Access and Key setup" and press "add" (or "update"). Alternatively you can use the IP-address instead of the callsign (if connected to its soft-ap or not on the same LAN). If the we are successfully authenticated with the tracker, the callsign/IP will become green. You can remove it by pressing the red cross on the left side of the symbol.
To install your own version you copy the webapp to a location where it can be reached by your web-browser.
