OE6DXD e1a4ce0b8b initialize generic rms-software repository
Add the reusable RMS core application (server, web UI, plugins, tests, tools) with generic defaults, GPL licensing, and maintainer context documentation so deployments can consume this repo as software source independent of station-specific overlays.

RMS Software

RMS Software is a generic remote-station control platform with a web UI, passwordless authentication, plugin-based hardware integration, and OpenWebRX+ orchestration.

This repository is intentionally station-agnostic. Site-specific deployment, host bindings, and operational overrides belong in a separate deployment repository.

Core Features

  • Passwordless auth via email link and OTP methods
  • JWT access/refresh session model with role-based permissions
  • Plugin runtime with capability provider switching
  • OpenWebRX+ session/ticket integration and managed band/profile support
  • Station lifecycle controls (activate/deactivate, ownership, safety locks)
  • Rotor, RF route, TX/PTT and VSWR integration via plugins
  • Activity/audit logs and SSE event stream for live UI updates

Quick Start

  1. Copy .env.example to .env.
  2. Install dependencies:
npm ci
  1. Start development mode:
npm run dev
  1. Open http://localhost:8080.

Plugin Overview

Auth

  • rms.auth.smtp_relay: email link challenge delivery through SMTP relay
  • rms.auth.otp_email: OTP challenge delivery through email

Station & Access

  • rms.station.shell: station activation/deactivation command execution
  • rms.station.access.policy: export effective access list for OpenWebRX policies

OpenWebRX+

  • rms.openwebrx.bandmap: managed band/profile integration
  • rms.openwebrx.guard: OpenWebRX safety and consistency guard

TX/PTT/Audio

  • rms.tx.control.native: native TX on/off command provider
  • rms.tx.state.file: file-based TX state provider
  • rms.tx.audio.core: core TX audio session management
  • rms.microham: microHAM provider for PTT/audio related capabilities

RF/Hardware

  • rms.rfroute.shell: RF route switching via shell commands
  • rms.rotor.hamlib: rotor control via hamlib/rotctl

VSWR

  • rms.vswr.native: native VSWR command provider
  • rms.vswr.nanovna: NanoVNA-based VSWR provider
  • rms.vswr.report_reader: reads and serves VSWR report artifacts

Ops/Help

  • rms.help.basic: basic UI help content provider

Repository Boundaries

This repository contains:

  • generic software source (server, public, plugins)
  • generic defaults (.env.example)

This repository does not contain:

  • station-specific hostnames, hardware paths, or production secrets
  • deployment overlays for specific stations

Recommended layering for deployments:

  1. RMS Software defaults
  2. Station-specific overlay repository
  3. Server environment variables (highest priority)
