gps-station

gps-station is a project that is essentially a TCP server, its purpose is to let GPS devices with various protocols connect to it, process their data and send them to backend for storage and further processing.

Supported Protocols

• H02

Devices that gps-station works with

• ST-901 (SinoTrack)

NOTE: those are devices that gps-station has been tested on, ideally it should work on every device that uses any one of the protocols listed in Supported Protocols section. If you know for a fact that it works with a particular device and it is not listed here, please make a pull request with updated device list.

How to run

To run gps-station you need:

• Docker installed and running
• To be in the directory of this package

1. Build gps-station image: docker build -t gps_station .
2. Run the built image: docker run --name gps_station -p 8090:8090/tcp --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/logs/,destination=/gps-station/logs/ --env BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8000/add-location/ --env GPS_STATION_PORT=8090 gps_station
3. Make sure port that you specified in GPS_STATION_PORT environment variable in previous step is open (I use this tool while gps-station is running)

NOTE: don't forget to replace BACKEND_URL environment variable value in step 2 with your own
