Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

signalk-web-tracker

v0.2.0

Published

SignalK plugin that pushes vessel position and configurable environment data to a self hosted remote web tracker

Readme

signalk-web-tracker

Self hosted vessel tracker plugin, designed to share real time location to the public via a companion app deployed with docker on a remote public facing host.

Screenshot

Features

  • Position reports to one or more tracking servers — e.g. a local server onboard plus a public one for friends and family
  • Each server drains independently: an always-on local server is never held up by an intermittent remote one, and vice versa
  • Configurable SignalK paths, displayed on the tracking server
  • Offline position points buffered locally in a SQLite database and transmitted once connection to each tracking server is restored

Tracking server

signalk-web-tracker-server

The compantion tracking server is designed to be deployed via Docker. Access to an off vessel public facing server with terminal access and a basic understanding of terminal commands and web hosting practices is required.

Dependencies

node >=22.5.0, Currently CerboGX is not supported

Installation

Install via the SignalK App store

To install manually from npm:

cd ~/.signalk
npm install signalk-web-tracker

To build locally:

git clone https://github.com/ofernander/signalk-web-tracker.git
cd signalk-web-tracker
npm link
cd ~/.signalk
npm link signalk-web-tracker

Restart SignalK, enable the plugin, then add one or more tracking servers under Tracking Servers — each with its own ingest URL and signing key. To run a local server onboard and a remote one for friends and family, add both here.

Upgrading from a single-server version needs no reconfiguration: the old endpoint and key are migrated into the Tracking Servers list automatically on first start.
