2025-11-22T21:32:04Z <p>Dxcadmin: </p> <hr /> <div>== The PC Packet Cluster Protocol ==<br /> <br /> === Introduction ===<br /> <br /> The PC Packet Cluster protocol is used to communicate between two DX Cluster nodes. It is an ASCII protocol that is designed to work in a directed graph with no loops or duplicate routes. Unfortunately, in this modern world, that is exactly what we want to do! If you would like to participate in the discussion for a replacement protocol please join the Cluster-tech mailing list.<br /> <br /> === Basic Format ===<br /> <br /> Each protocol message started with the letters PC, each protocol message is sent in packet by itself and is terminated with a carriage return character. The letters PC are followed by two digits starting at 10. All the fields in the message are separated with the ^ character. The last field may be terminated by a ^ or a ^~ sequence. I don't know why. All fields are in ASCII.<br /> <br /> === The Message Formats ===<br /> <br /> I have tried to show what is actually being used, as opposed to what is documented. What is shown here is therefore my impression of how it looks and what the fields do - YMMV.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |Talk mode||PC10^from-user^to-user^msg^bell-flag^ ^from-node^~<br /> PC10^from-user^route-via-node^msg^bell-flag^to-user^origin-node^~<br /> |-<br /> |DX info||PC11^DXfreq^DXcall^date^time^comment-txt^user-rprt^origin-node^hops^~<br /> |-<br /> |Announcement||PC12^from-user^route-to-node^msg^sysop-flg^origin-node^wx-flg^hops^~<br /> |-<br /> |Stn into CONF||PC13^user^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |Stn out of CONF||PC14^user^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |Conference Mode||PC15^from-user^msg^hops^~<br /> |-<br /> |PC user add||PC16^node^user talk-mode here^user talk-mode here^...^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |PC user delete||PC17^user^node^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: RequestInit||PC18^cluster info^ver^<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: NodeAdd||PC19^here^node^talk^ver^...^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: InitDone||PC20^<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: NodeDelete||PC21^node^reason^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: PCDone||PC22^<br /> |-<br /> |WWV info||PC23^date^hour^SFI^A^K^forecast^logger^origin-node^hops^~<br /> |-<br /> |Here status info||PC24^user^here^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |DX/WWV merge req||PC25^route-to-node^route-from-node^DX-cnt^WWV-cnt^<br /> |-<br /> |Merge DX info||PC26^DXfreq^DXcall^date^time^comment-txt^spotter^origin-node^ ^~<br /> |-<br /> |Merge WWV info||PC27^date^hour^SFI^A^K^forecast^logger^origin-node^ ^~<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: SendSubject||PC28^route-to-node^route-from-node^to-user^from-user^date^time^private-flg^subject^bbs^no-lines^rr-flg^via-node^origin-node^~<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: SendText||PC29^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^text^~<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: AckSubject||PC30^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: AckText||PC31^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: CompleteText||PC32^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |PC Mail: AckCompleteText||PC33^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |Remote commands: Command||PC34^route-to-node^route-from-node^cmd^~<br /> |-<br /> |Remote commands: Response||PC35^route-to-node^route-from-node^cmd-resp^~<br /> |-<br /> |Remote commands: Show Command||PC36^route-to-node^route-from-node^cmd^~<br /> |-<br /> |Remote commands: Needs db update||PC37^route-to-node^route-from-node^user^stream-no^cmd^~<br /> |-<br /> |PC initialization: Connected nodes||PC38^node,node,...^~<br /> |-<br /> |NodeDelete w/Discon||PC39^node^reason^<br /> |-<br /> |PC file forward||PC40^route-to-node^route-from-node^filename^bulletin^linecnt^<br /> |-<br /> |User info||PC41^user^type^info^hops^~<br /> |-<br /> |Forwarding abort||PC42^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |Remote DB request||PC44^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^qualifier^key^user^<br /> |-<br /> |Remote DB response||PC45^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^info^~<br /> |-<br /> |Remote DB complete||PC46^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |Remote DB update||PC47^route-to-node^route-from-node^user^qualifier^key^stream-no^<br /> |-<br /> |Remote userDB req||PC48^route-to-node^route-from-node^stream-no^qualifier^key^user^<br /> |-<br /> |Bulletin delete||PC49^from-user^subject^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |Local User count||PC50^node^user-count^hops^<br /> |-<br /> |Ping||PC51^route-to-node^route-from-node^ping-flag^<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Glossary ===<br /> <br /> Some of the terms used above are explained<br /> <br /> ==== node ====<br /> The Callsign of a node<br /> <br /> ==== user ====<br /> The Callsign of a user on a node<br /> <br /> ==== Route-to|from|via-node ====<br /> Route this message via the nodes specified.

If a new build is available, it can:<br /> <br /> * Perform a full backup of the current node installation<br /> * Retain previous backup archives<br /> * Automatically update the node (Git hard reset + pull)<br /> <br /> This tool does not aim to replace the standard `git` update method, but is especially useful for sysops who are cautious about updates potentially breaking their nodes. In case of failure, a full backup ensures the service can be restored quickly.<br /> <br /> The script can be run manually from the DXSpider shell or scheduled via `crontab`.<br /> <br /> == ⚙️ Features ==<br /> <br /> * Verifies if a newer build is available on the remote repository.<br /> * If backup is enabled:<br /> ** Creates a full backup using `rsync`<br /> ** Compresses it as `spider.YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.tar.gz`<br /> ** Retains up to a configurable number of backup files<br /> * Performs a full Git reset and update<br /> * Optionally notifies via Telegram if configured<br /> <br /> == ▶️ Usage ==<br /> From the DXSpider shell:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> check_build &lt;Y/N&gt; &lt;num_backups&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;Where:<br /> <br /> * `Y` = Enable backup before updating<br /> * `N` = Update without backup<br /> * `num_backups` = Number of backups to retain (default: 10)<br /> <br /> == 🕒 Example crontab configuration ==<br /> Run the command Monday to Friday at 04:00 with backup enabled, keeping 7 backups:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> 0 4 * * 1,2,3,4,5 run_cmd(&quot;check_build Y 7&quot;)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;Update the script daily (thanks to G6NHU) with:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> 30 0 * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_cmd; wget -qN https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/main/check_build.pl -O /spider/local_cmd/check_build.pl')<br /> 32 0 * * * run_cmd('load/cmd')<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == 💾 Installation ==<br /> Download the script from the official repository:<br /> <br /> [https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/check_build.pl View on GitHub - check_build.pl]<br /> <br /> Save it as:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> /spider/local_cmd/check_build.pl<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == 🔄 Restoring a backup ==<br /> If something goes wrong during the update:<br /> <br /> 1. Locate the latest backup archive in `/home/sysop/spider.backup` <br /> <br /> 2. Decompress it:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> cd /home/sysop<br /> tar -xzvf spider.backup/spider.YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.tar.gz<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;3. Replace the current `/spider` directory with the extracted backup<br /> <br /> 4. Restart DXSpider<br /> <br /> == ⏪ Alternative: Using undo_newbuild.pl ==<br /> If installed, the `undo_newbuild.pl` script allows you to quickly restore the most recent backup made by `check_build`.<br /> <br /> Simply run:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> set/undo_newbuild<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;This command will:<br /> <br /> * Locate the latest backup archive in `/home/sysop/spider.backup`<br /> * Decompress and restore it<br /> * Restart the node automatically<br /> <br /> === 📥 Download ===<br /> You can download the script from the repository:<br /> <br /> [https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/undo_newbuild.pl View on GitHub - undo_newbuild.pl]<br /> <br /> Save it as:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> /spider/local_cmd/undo_newbuild.pl<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == 📦 Dependencies ==<br /> This script requires:<br /> <br /> * Git<br /> * rsync<br /> <br /> To install `rsync` on Debian-based systems:&lt;pre&gt;<br /> apt install rsync<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == 📲 Telegram integration (optional) ==<br /> If the `telegram()` function is defined in `Local.pm` and Telegram bot variables (`$id`, `$token`) are set in `DXVars.pm`, the script will send notifications when:<br /> <br /> * A backup starts<br /> * A backup completes<br /> <br /> For full setup instructions, see: [[Sending_messages_to_the_sysop_via_Telegram|Sending messages to the sysop via Telegram]]<br /> <br /> == 🧠 Notes ==<br /> <br /> * Only supports the **MOJO branch** of DXSpider.<br /> * Backup directory: `/home/sysop/spider.backup`<br /> * Automatically excludes heavy folders: debug logs, spots, wwv, wcy, etc.<br /> * Recommended for sysops who want to automate update and backup tasks with minimal risk.<br /> <br /> == 👨‍💻 Author ==<br

Of<br /> course other people are doing the same thing too, so you can find new<br /> DX as well as telling others about the stations you have worked.<br /> Clusters tend to be linked to each other so that the amount of people<br /> using them is increased, thereby increasing the amount of posted DX.<br /> Other information can be found on clusters such as on-line call books,<br /> mail etc. You can talk to other stations connected to the cluster<br /> network in real time, whether at the node you are logged into or<br /> on another node connected to the network. You can also use converse<br /> mode, where several stations can talk to each other in the same way.<br /> Of course, the DX spots are still posted to you at the same time!<br /> See the [[How_to_connect|how to connect]] page for more information<br /> on connecting to a node.<br /> <br /> ==So what is DXSpider?==<br /> <br /> PacketCluster nodes have been around since roughly 1985. The original<br /> PacketCluster idea came from Dick Newell, AK1A, and ran under DOS.<br /> In about 1992 Dick stopped the development of the PacketCluster software<br /> for amateur radio. Some systems are still using this old DOS software<br /> today!<br /> <br /> There are several new compatible cluster programs around now,<br /> including DXSpider. DXSpider is a clone of PacketCluster software<br /> that runs under several operating systems including Linux and Windows.<br /> Linux is fast becoming the choice for amateur radio stations because<br /> of it's flexibility, reliability and the lack of the memory<br /> limitations of DOS. Linux supports multitasking and is also<br /> multiuser. It has support for AX25, ROSE, NetROM and TCPIP built in,<br /> making it the ideal choice for amateur radio. It is also totally free!<br /> <br /> DXSpider was conceived and begun in 1998 by Dirk Koopman, G1TLH, as an<br /> exercise in perl programming. It has developed rapidly and today is a<br /> very powerful cluster program. It was designed to be totally compatible<br /> with the AK1A program, although several commands have been added to<br /> improve functionality.<br /> <br /> |style=&quot;vertical-align:top;&quot;|<br /> {{Main Page pdf}}<br /> {{Main Page infobox}}<br /> {{Main Page editing}}</div> Dxcadmin https://wiki.dxcluster.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=451 Main Page 2025-06-23T10:31:04Z <p>Dxcadmin: </p> <hr /> <div>{|<br /> |style=&quot;vertical-align:top;&quot; colspan=2|<br /> {{Main Page Header}}<br /> |-<br /> |width=70%|<br /> Welcome to the DXSpider Wiki Documentation site.

Of<br /> course other people are doing the same thing too, so you can find new<br /> DX as well as telling others about the stations you have worked.<br /> Clusters tend to be linked to each other so that the amount of people<br /> using them is increased, thereby increasing the amount of posted DX.<br /> Other information can be found on clusters such as on-line call books,<br /> mail etc. You can talk to other stations connected to the cluster<br /> network in real time, whether at the node you are logged into or<br /> on another node connected to the network. You can also use converse<br /> mode, where several stations can talk to each other in the same way.<br /> Of course, the DX spots are still posted to you at the same time!<br /> See the [[How_to_connect|how to connect]] page for more information<br /> on connecting to a node.<br /> <br /> ==So what is DXSpider?==<br /> <br /> PacketCluster nodes have been around since roughly 1985.

Dxspider does not require sudo access and you will create a separate 'sysop' account for dxspider to use as part of the installation. <br /> <br /> Enable ssh as you will require this for administration.<br /> <br /> In these notes command executed as root are prefixed with # <br /> <br /> Commands executed as the user ‘sysop’ are prefixed with $ <br /> <br /> At various points during the installation text files will need to be edited at the command line, 'nano' and 'vim' are both choices built into the stock Ubuntu server install.

All the packages required are in the apt packaging system so we shall install from there.<br /> <br /> # apt install procps git build-essential libtimedate-perl libnet-telnet-perl libdigest-sha-perl libdata-structure-util-perl libmojo-ioloop-readwriteprocess-perl libjson-perl gcc libmath-round-perl libnet-cidr-lite-perl libcurses-perl libdbi-perl cpanminus<br /> <br /> You will also need to ensure that you have the Perl library for the database you intend using, e.g. for SQLite:<br /> apt install libdbd-sqlite3-perl<br /> <br /> or for MySQL / MariaDB:<br /> apt install libdbd-mysql-perl<br /> <br /> We will make some links now, whilst we are still root.<br /> <br /> # ln -s /home/sysop/spider /spider<br /> # ln -s /spider/perl/console.pl /usr/local/bin/dx<br /> # ln -s /spider/perl/*dbg /usr/local/bin<br /> <br /> Now would also be a very good time to consider one’s firewall requirements, for example:<br /> <br /> # ufw allow 7300/tcp<br /> # ufw allow ssh<br /> # ufw enable<br /> <br /> We have done everything we need to do for now as the root user, for the rest of the install we will be the user “sysop”<br /> <br /> change to the sysop user <br /> # su - sysop<br /> <br /> <br /> We want to install dxspider, Mojo branch.<br /> <br /> $ git clone -b mojo git://scm.dxcluster.org/scm/spider<br /> <br /> Change into the newly created spider directory.<br /> <br /> $ cd spider<br /> <br /> Make our local directories.<br /> <br /> $ mkdir local_cmd<br /> $ mkdir local_data<br /> $ mkdir local<br /> <br /> Configure DXvars, this is where the parameters for the cluster are defined.<br /> <br /> $ cp perl/DXVars.pm.issue local/DXVars.pm<br /> <br /> Edit local/DXVars.pm to define the various parameters that are appropriate for your cluster.<br /> <br /> $ cp perl/Listeners.pm local/<br /> <br /> Edit local/Listeners.pm and follow instructions, generally if you do have a static ipv6 address it’s worth configuring for dual stack these days, however before you will see ipv6 users you will also need to ensure that you have the appropriate AAAA DNS record in place for the v6 address of your dxcluster.<br /> <br /> Create a connect script to connect to your peer node(s).<br /> <br /> $ cd /spider/connect/<br /> $ cp gb7tlh &lt;peer-node&gt;<br /> <br /> Edit this file with your chosen editor so that the telnet address and port are correct for your peer node(s) and set your own node callsign.<br /> <br /> We need to build from source the client program <br /> <br /> $ cd /spider/src<br /> $ make<br /> <br /> You should see this complete with no errors and how have an executable file called client.<br /> <br /> Change to the base spider directory<br /> $ cd /spider<br /> <br /> Now we need to set up the sysop user for dxpsider, this is based on the configuration in /spider/local/DXVars.pm and you will need to rerun this command if you change details pertaining to the sysop.<br /> $ perl/create_sysop.pl<br /> <br /> Run the cluster <br /> <br /> $ perl/cluster.pl<br /> <br /> Assuming there are no errors, it will start up.<br /> <br /> Now it’s time to connect to the node and check that it’s working ok.<br /> Open a second ssh session to your server and become sysop.<br /> <br /> $ sudo su - sysop<br /> <br /> Issue the ‘dx’ command to access the dxcluster administration console.<br /> $ dx <br /> <br /> We need to tell the node the callsign (including any SSID) of it’s peer node(s), this has to be done both ends so you will need to have agreement in place with other node(s) you wish to peer with.<br /> <br /> set/spider &lt;peer-node&gt; <br /> <br /> Now it’s time to connect and see if things are working.<br /> <br /> connect &lt;peer-node&gt;<br /> <br /> If all is good you should see spots start arriving.<br /> At this point you may wish to confirm remote telnet access is working also.<br /> <br /> Time to tidy up the installation and set up dxspider to start as a service, exit the console <br /> by issuing the ‘bye’ command.<br /> bye<br /> <br /> Firstly, as the user sysop we will set up the dxpsider crontab file. This controls things that dxpsider should do on a regular schedule, like check that it is connected to upstream nodes, update databases etc.<br /> <br /> $ cd /spider/local_cmd/<br /> now use an editor to create a file called crontab.<br /> $ vim crontab<br /> <br /> With the contents below (replacing &lt;peer-node&gt; with the call of the upstream peer node).<br /> This will set up a simple schedule that will check very minute to see if the node is connected to it’s peer, if not connection will be attempted.<br /> <br /> # Dxspider crontab file <br /> # m h dm m dw <br /> * * * * * start_connect('&lt;peer-node&gt;') unless connected('&lt;peer-node&gt;')<br /> #<br /> <br /> Further help on crontab scheduling can be found here [https://crontab.guru/]<br /> <br /> Now we will install the systemd service file for the dxpsider service and enable it.<br /> <br /> We must become root, however since the sysop user does not have sudo privileges, we will first have to drop back to our login user.<br /> <br /> sysop@ei7mre-2:~$ exit<br /> bminish@ei7mre-2:~$ sudo su -<br /> [sudo] password for bminish: <br /> root@ei7mre-2:~#<br /> <br /> Now we will copy the service file to /etc/systemd/system/ <br /> <br /> # cp /spider/dxspider.service /etc/systemd/system/<br /> And start the service<br /> # systemctl start dxspider.service<br /> On some systems it may also need enabling <br /> # systemctl enable dxspider.service<br /> <br /> Become the sysop user <br /> # su - sysop <br /> <br /> Verify the cluster is running by opening the admin console <br /> $ dx</div>
