Announcing YAAMon - Yet Another AllstarLink Monitor

I've been working on YAAMON (Yet Another AllStarLink Monitor) and it's finally ready for some real-world testing. If anyone wants to kick the tires and let me know what breaks (or what you'd like added), check it out: https://github.com/jchonig/allstar-yaamon

The release dir not found in your github place

You are trying to download v1.0.0 which does not exist.

Follow the instructions:

wget https://github.com/jchonig/allstar-yaamon/releases/latest/download/yaamon_linux_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i yaamon_linux_arm64.deb

Downloading the deb directly is a bit annoying. Let me see if I can set up a repo that would make it easier and keep it up to date.

I've added deb repos, so the easy way to install and keep it up to date is:

curl -fsSL https://yaamon.n2vlv.net/debian/gpg.key \
  | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring \
      --keyring gnupg-ring:/usr/share/keyrings/yaamon-archive-keyring.gpg \
      --import
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/yaamon-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/yaamon-archive-keyring.gpg] https://yaamon.n2vlv.net/debian stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yaamon.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install yaamon

I've also created a website at https://yaamon.n2vlv.net with the docs nicely formatted.

This resulted in a few release spins around the documentation, there are no functional changes.

Thanks.

Will adding the repo instructions keep a YAAMON installation (previously installed via .deb) up to date?

That is how I did it on my system.

One caveat is that you might break your ASL 3 system if you update everything. So only update yaamon

sudo apt install --only-upgrade yaamon

I ran into an issue with Debian Trixie where it wanted to update to the 6.18 kernel, some of the kernel modules required by Asterisk are not yet supported there. So don't do a bare apt upgrade.

This is incorrect advice. The current app_rpt version does not have any broken kernel dependencies. In fact, the DAHDI kernel module requirement was removed awhile back. The only possible kernel issue is if you try a kernel that doesn't have the old OSS driver built in (e.g. the new Arduino Q boards are an example) but that dependency is about to be killed off as well.

In short, there is no problem at all doing an apt upgrade with a properly installed ASL3 system.

Thanks for the correction!
I saw DAHDI fail to build and assumed it was a requirement.
