A.L.F.R.E.D - Almighty Lightweight Fact Remote Exchange Daemon - -"alfred is a user space daemon to efficiently[tm] flood the network with useless data - like vis, weather data, network notes, etc" -> - Marek Lindner, 2012 - - -{{TOC}} - -h2. Introduction - -alfred is a user space daemon for distributing arbitrary local information over the mesh/network in a decentralized fashion. This data can be anything which appears to be useful - originally designed to replace the batman-adv visualization (vis), you may distribute hostnames, phone books, administration information, DNS information, the local weather forecast ... - -Typically, alfred runs as unix daemon in the background of the system. A user may insert information by using the alfred binary on the command line, or use custom written programs to communicate with alfred directly through unix sockets. Once the local data is received, the alfred daemon takes care of distributing this information to other alfred servers on other nodes somewhere in the network. As addressing scheme IPv6 link-local multicast addresses are used which do not require any manual configuration. A user can request data from alfred, and will receive the information available from all alfred servers in the network. - -See the "README":https://git.open-mesh.org/alfred.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/README for more information or the "manpage":https://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/alfred.8.html for usage. - -h2.

Current applications - -There are a few applications currently implemented on top of alfred: - -h3. batadv-vis - -batadv-vis can be used to visualize your batman-adv mesh network. It read the neighbor information and local client table and distributes this information via alfred in the network. By gathering this local information, any vis node can get the whole picture of the network. - -It allows output of different formats (json, graphviz) and replaces the in-kernel vis functionality found in older batman-adv kernel modules (<2014). See the sample picture below. For more information, please read the vis section of the "README":https://git.open-mesh.org/alfred.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/README or the "manpage":https://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/batadv-vis.html for usage. - -!batman-adv-vis-example.png! - -h3. alfred-gpsd - -Alfred-gpsd can be used to distibute GPS location information about your batman-adv mesh network. This information could be, for example, combined with Vis to visualize your mesh topology with true geographic layout. For mobile or nomadic nodes, Alfred-gpsd, can get location information from gpsd. Alternatively, a static location can be passed on the command line, which is useful for static nodes without a GPS. - -For more information, please read the alfred-gpsd section of the "README":https://git.open-mesh.org/alfred.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/README or the "manpage":https://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/manpages/alfred-gpsd.html for usage. - -h2.

OpenWRT installation from routing feed - -Alfred is also part of the routing feed of OpenWRT. For newer OpenWRT, just use: - -1. Install the alfred package: - -./scripts/feeds install alfred - -3. Run "make menuconfig" and select alfred (available under "Network --->") - -h3. OpenWRT development feed - -There is also a development packet feed for OpenWRT available for alfred: - -1. add the alfred feed by adding the following line into your feeds.conf: - - src-git batman git://git.open-mesh.org/openwrt-feed-devel.git - -2. Update and install the feed: - - ./scripts/feeds update -./scripts/feeds install alfred - -3. Run "make menuconfig" and select alfred (available under "Network --->") - -Finally, re-build Openwrt and enjoy using alfred! :) \ No newline at end of file
