PagerMon

PagerMon is an API driven client/server framework for parsing and displaying pager messages from multimon-ng.

It is built around POCSAG messages, but should easily support other message types as required.

The UI is built around a Node/Express/Angular/Bootstrap stack, while the client scripts are Node scripts that receive piped input.

Features

• Capcode aliasing with colors and FontAwesome icons
• API driven extensible architecture
• Single user, multiple API keys
• SQLite database backing
• Configurable via UI
• Pagination and searching
• Filtering by capcode or agency
• Duplicate message filtering
• Keyword highlighting
• WebSockets support - messages are delivered to clients in near realtime
• Pretty HTML5
• Native browner notifications
• Push notifications
  • Pushover Integration - near realtime muti-device notification service
  • Telegram Integration - near realtime cloud based multi-device messaging
  • Discord Integration - near realtime cloud based messaging service
  • Twitter Integration
  • Email Support for conventional SMTP email notifications
• May or may not contain cute puppies

Planned Features

• Multi-user support
• Other database support (MongoDB and DynamoDB planned)
• Horizontal scaling
• Enhanced message filtering
• Bootstrap 4 + Angular 2 support
• Enhanced alias control
• Graphing
• Non-sucky documentation

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• nodejs
• sqlite3
• Probably some other stuff

Recommended

• nvm
• nginx or some kind of reverse proxy for SSL offloading

Running the server

Local setup

1. Copy server/process-default.json to server/process.json and modify according to your environment
2. Launch the app from the Terminal:

    $ sudo apt-get install npm sqlite3
    $ npm install npm@latest -g
    $ npm install pm2 -g
    $ cd server
    $ npm install
    $ export NODE_ENV=production
    $ pm2 start process.json

3. To start on boot, let pm2 handle it:

    $ sudo pm2 startup
    $ pm2 save

4. You probably want to rotate logs, too:

    $ pm2 install pm2-logrotate
    $ sudo pm2 logrotate -u user

5. Now login via the website, default port is 3000, default credentials are 'admin' / 'changeme'
6. Head to /admin, change your password, and generate some API keys
7. Grab your API keys and drop them in the PagerMon client, then you're good to go!

Docker

1. Build the container:

    $ docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t pagermon .

2. Run the container

​ In foreground:

    $ docker run --name pagermon -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/data:/data --rm -it pagermon

OR

​ As daemon (-d) with autorun (--restart always = startup ):

    $ docker run --restart --name pagermon -d -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/data:/data pagermon

NOTE:

• The database will be located relativ to your current working directory under ./data/messages.db (by -v $(pwd)/data:/data)
• The local port 3000 will be forwarded to the docker container to port 3000 (by -p 3000:3000)
• In case you would like to follow the logfile, run docker logs -f pagermon (by --name pagermon )
• To shutdown and remove the container, run docker rm -fv pagermon

3. Follow Step 5 from Running the server__

Contributing

All are welcome to contribute. Contributors should submit a pull request with the requested changes.

CHANGELOG.md is to be updated on each pull request.

If a pull request is the first pull request since a release, then the version number should be bumped in CHANGELOG.md, server/app.js, and server/package.json.
