Dirus - SDR to Direwolf Gateway Daemon

Dirus is a daemon for managing an SDR to Direwolf gateway, the purpose of which is to allow an SDR (e.g. RTL-SDR, HackRF, etc.) to present as a KISS device to other software (e.g. APRS Decoders).

This can be accomplished with Direwolf alone, but Dirus provides an easy way to configure, manage and daemonize this process.

Requirements

Dirus' requirements are relatively minimal. You'll need at least one FM decoder tool, and Dire Wolf.

Either one of:

• @rxseger's rx_tools https://github.com/rxseger/rx_tools

Good for non-RTL-SDR devices, such as HackRF (tested with Dirus).

• @steve-m's librtlsdr http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr

Good for RTL-SDR devices.

Plus:

• @wb2osz's Dire Wolf https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf

That's it! Install one FM Decoder, Dire Wolf, and Dirus and you're off to the races!

Usage

Your best bet is to use dirus with supervisor, or another daemon management tool:

# /etc/supervisor.d/dirus.conf
[program:dirus]
command=dirus -c /etc/dirus.json
process_name=%(program_name)s
numprocs=1
numprocs_start=0
priority=999
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=1
startretries=3
exitcodes=0,2
stopsignal=TERM
stopwaitsecs=10
redirect_stderr=false
stdout_logfile=AUTO
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=50MB
stdout_logfile_backups=10
stdout_capture_maxbytes=0
stdout_events_enabled=false
stderr_logfile=AUTO
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=50MB
stderr_logfile_backups=10
stderr_capture_maxbytes=0
stderr_events_enabled=false
serverurl=AUTO
