# Meshtastic Stack
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Self-hosted Meshtastic monitoring and management stack running on PlausibleDeniability.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stack Location
|
||||
`/mnt/docker-ssd/docker/compose/meshtastic/`
|
||||
|
||||
## Containers
|
||||
|
||||
| Container | Image | Port | Purpose |
|
||||
|-----------|-------|------|---------|
|
||||
| meshmonitor | ghcr.io/yeraze/meshmonitor:4.2.0 | 8081→3001 | Main UI + backend |
|
||||
| meshmonitor (virtual node) | — | 4404 | TCP virtual node server |
|
||||
| meshmonitor-tileserver | maptiler/tileserver-gl-light | 8082→8080 | Offline map tiles |
|
||||
| meshmonitor-mqtt-proxy | ghcr.io/ln4cy/mqtt-proxy:master | — | MQTT→TCP bridge |
|
||||
| meshmonitor-upgrader | docker:latest | — | Auto-upgrade watchdog |
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
```
|
||||
Meshtastic Node (10.5.1.172)
|
||||
↓ MQTT
|
||||
meshmonitor-mqtt-proxy
|
||||
↓ TCP (port 4404)
|
||||
meshmonitor virtual node server
|
||||
↓
|
||||
meshmonitor backend
|
||||
↓
|
||||
PostgreSQL (shared-postgres, db: meshmonitor)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Node Connection
|
||||
- Node IP: `10.5.1.172`
|
||||
- Connection type: MQTT via mqtt-proxy (not direct TCP)
|
||||
- mqtt-proxy connects to meshmonitor's virtual node server on port 4404
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage
|
||||
- Appdata: `/mnt/tank/docker/appdata/meshmonitor/data` → `/data`
|
||||
- Scripts: `./scripts` → `/data/scripts` (must be pre-created on host)
|
||||
- Tiles: `./tiles` (gitignored — large .mbtiles files)
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Upgrade
|
||||
`AUTO_UPGRADE_ENABLED=true` — meshmonitor checks for new images and triggers self-upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** The upgrader mounts the compose directory as `/compose` inside the container. All relative bind mount paths (e.g. `./scripts`) resolve to `/compose/scripts` on the host when the upgrader re-runs compose. Since TrueNAS root filesystem is read-only, these directories must be pre-created:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p /mnt/docker-ssd/docker/compose/meshtastic/scripts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Networks
|
||||
- `default` (internal stack network)
|
||||
- `ix-databases_shared-databases` (meshmonitor only)
|
||||
- `pangolin` (meshmonitor + tileserver)
|
||||
|
||||
## Public URL
|
||||
`https://meshmonitor.paccoco.com`
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Warnings
|
||||
- Node `!dd972536` has a low-entropy public key — this is a device configuration issue, not a meshmonitor bug
|
||||
- Frequent connect/disconnect cycles in logs are normal when the MQTT proxy reconnects
|
||||
|
||||
## Tiles
|
||||
Map tiles stored in `./tiles/`. Currently includes `zurich_switzerland.mbtiles` (34MB).
|
||||
Tiles directory is gitignored. To add new tiles, download `.mbtiles` files and place in the `tiles/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## TODO
|
||||
- [ ] Document all running meshtastic-map container config
|
||||
- [ ] Document meshtastic-map-mosquitto and meshtastic-mqtt containers
|
||||
- [ ] Add healthcheck to meshmonitor container
