# Data for Freifunk Map, Graph and Node List
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/ffnord/ffmap-backend)
|
|
|
|
ffmap-backend gathers information on the batman network by invoking :
|
|
|
|
* batctl (might require root),
|
|
* alfred-json and
|
|
* batadv-vis
|
|
|
|
In order to use alfred-json and batadv-vis make sure the user running this
|
|
backend is allowed to access alfred's socket.
|
|
|
|
The output will be written to a directory (`-d output`).
|
|
|
|
Run `backend.py --help` for a quick overview of all available options.
|
|
|
|
For the script's regular execution add the following to the crontab:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
* * * * * backend.py -d /path/to/output -a /path/to/aliases.json --vpn ae:7f:58:7d:6c:2a d2:d0:93:63:f7:da
|
|
</pre>

# Removing owner information
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to redact information about the node owner from `nodes.json`,
|
|
you may use a filter like [jq]. In this case, specify an output directory
|
|
different from your webserver directory, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
./backend.py -d /ffmap-data
|
|
|
|
Don't write to files generated in there. ffmap-backend uses them as its
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
After running ffmap-backend, copy `graph.json` to your webserver. Then,
|
|
filter `nodes.json` using `jq` like this:
|
|
|
|
jq '.nodes = (.nodes | with_entries(del(.value.nodeinfo.owner)))' \
|
|
< /ffmap-data/nodes.json > /var/www/data/nodes.json
|
|
|
|
This will remove owner information from nodes.json before copying the data
|
|
to your webserver.
