**LOcal MEshtastic Server** _in development_

Idea is to:
- develop an offline web app client and python backend, running in your local network and **nowhere** else.
- create a web app, coded in `html`, `css`, `js` and `php` and make it a bit prettier than the original.
- code a backend utilising `flask`, `python`, `python3-meshtastic` and `python3-requests`.
- make it as light but versatile as possible _let's see how this is gonna work out..._

## Hardware

for now everything will be developed and tested on Raspberry Pi 3B and newer acting as server and as LoRa Modules RAK WisBlock 4631 with RAK 19007 Board as well as Heltec V3 connected via USB/UART.

## Hard & Firmware

- Raspberry Pi 4B  |  _RPI OS lite (Debian 13 | Trixie)_
- RAK Wisblock  |  _FW 2.6.11_
- Heltec V3  |  _FW 2.6.11_

## Development Setup

1. Flash Raspberry Pi OS lite 64bit
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
sudo apt install --install-suggests -y nginx python3-meshtastic python3-flask python3-requests
```
3. Configure `nginx` the way you need | _or use the example config located [here](https://lab.c95.org/fr4nz/LoMeS/src/branch/main/assets/config/nginx/nginx.conf) edit at least lines 9 & 15 - 18 to your needs_
4. Start developing
