Adds a WebServer and WebService callbacks to meshtastic as Linux Version. The WebServer & Webservices
runs in a real linux thread beside the portdunio threading emulation. It replaces the complete ESP32
Webserver libs including generation of SSL certifcicates, because the use ESP specific details in
the lib that can't be emulated.
Adds a WebServer and WebService callbacks to meshtastic via the Portduino/native target (Linux and
macOS). The WebServer & Webservices run in a real host thread beside the Portduino threading
emulation. It replaces the complete ESP32 Webserver libs including generation of SSL certificates,
because those libs use ESP-specific details that can't be emulated.
The WebServices adapt to the two major phoneapi functions "handleAPIv1FromRadio,handleAPIv1ToRadio"
The WebServer just adds basaic support to deliver WebContent, so it can be used to
deliver the WebGui definded by the WebClient Project.
The WebServer just adds basic support to deliver WebContent, so it can be used to
deliver the WebGui defined by the WebClient Project.
Steps to get it running:
1.) Add these Linux Libs to the compile and target machine:
Linux (apt):
1.) Add these libs to the compile and target machine:
sudo apt update && \
apt -y install openssl libssl-dev libopenssl libsdl2-dev \
apt -y install openssl libssl-dev libsdl2-dev \
libulfius-dev liborcania-dev
macOS (Homebrew):
1.) Install prerequisites via Homebrew:
brew install ulfius openssl@3
The PlatformIO env (native-macos) picks up compiler/linker flags via
`pkg-config`. In particular, OpenSSL needs `pkg-config --cflags --libs openssl@3`
so both the Homebrew include path and linker flags are provided; ulfius and its
dependencies (liborcania, libyder) are also resolved via `pkg-config`.
2.) Configure the root directory of the web Content in the config.yaml file.
The followinng tags should be included and set at your needs
