Porygon (Backend)

Porygon is the name of the main backend server for OpenAGPS. It receives satframes from connected base stations, and will store and proces them.

Setup

Porygon is distributed as a Docker container, and requires a MariaDB database to be hosted for it.

When setting up Docker, set the following enviroment variables:

Variable	Value
MARIADB_HOST	Host address
MARIADB_USER	User name
MARIADB_PASSWD	Password

The server is hosted on port 80 in the container.

Database

Porygon uses a MariaDB database; a script to initialize needed tables is shipped in the repository as init.sql. The script is written in such a way that it does not overwrite or delete any data when being executed, therefore it is safe to always unconditionally run it on a database before starting the server. This, however, is not done by the container or by Porygon; it must be done manually.

Tokens

Porygon checks tokens to authenticate base stations before allowing them to submit satframes. The tokens are stored in the tokens table in the config database. They must be added manually.
