Freifunk Tech-Stack

The following tools are often useful for a setup of a freifunk domain. While other approaches exists, the following tools are well known and established in various communities:

• Yanic - https://github.com/FreifunkBremen/yanic/
  • node info collector which queries all nodes with respondd
  • writes information into a database
  • provides summary json files of all nodes
• Meshviewer - https://github.com/freifunk/meshviewer
  • provides a map of devices of the community
  • utilizes information from Yanic
• Gluon Firmware Selector - https://github.com/freifunk-darmstadt/gluon-firmware-selector
  • provides a frontend for the firmware builds
  • references installation manuals
• Mesh-Announce - https://github.com/ffnord/mesh-announce.git
  • respondd daemon for Freifunk gateway servers
  • allows gateway information to be included in yanic data

Building gluon

Building Gluon in Docker - Handle

Building Gluon in Docker - Freifunk Magdeburg

Note: these two projects follow the same approach as the gluon-maintained Dockerfile to build firmware: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/tree/master/contrib/docker
