Web Dashboards

The primary web dashboard supported by AllStarLink is Allmon3.

However, we know there are other dashboards available and everyone has their own personal favorite. We also know that some of the other dashboards make use of the database file, astdb.txt. Typically, this database has been downloaded by a PHP script (astdb.php) and updated with the help of boot scripts and cron jobs.

To support these other dashboards, we have included a systemd service to download and update the astdb.txt database. By default, this service and its associated timer are disabled. If you have installed a dashboard that is dependent on this database, you will need to execute the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable asl3-update-astdb.service
sudo systemctl enable asl3-update-astdb.timer
sudo systemctl start asl3-update-astdb.timer
