Amateur Radio Website Template

Description

A dead simple web site template for hams to use. It's not special. It's not unique. It can be heavily customized, though.
Right now, there's some simple page templates, with possibly a gallery and integration with various log books (Cloudlog, LOTW, etc) on my radar.

FCC ULS Search

The functionality to search the FCC ULS database is built in, as long as you put in some extra work. There are existing scripts out there, I've forked one of them and am working on updating it to make it actually usable without wasting a bunch of time.

Demo

You can view a limited demo here. It doesn't currently have the FCC ULS search functional, but I'm working on that. 😁

• Domain Name
• For FCC ULS database search:
  • MySQL database with the following tables:
    • PUBACC_AM

Installation

1. Install Apache, PHP and Extensions

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 redis-server -y
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql composer php-redis -y

2. Clone the repository

cd /var/www/html
git clone https://github.com/ds2600/arwt.git

3. Set Permissions

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/arwt
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/arwt

4. Create a new virtual host configuration
   Ensure you replace all instances of <your-domain> with your actual domain.

sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/<your-domain>.conf

5. Add the following to the <your-domain>.conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@<your-domain>.com
    ServerName <your-domain>.com
    ServerAlias www.<your-domain>.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/arwt/public

    <Directory /var/www/html/arwt/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

6. Enable the Virtual Host and mod_rewrite, disable the default Apache site

sudo a2ensite <your-domain>.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

7. Reload Apache

sudo systemctl reload apache2

8. Create an ARWT configuration file

cd /var/www/html/arwt
cp config/config.example.php config/config.php

9. Using your favorite text editor, edit the newly created configuration file

vi config/config.php

// Site Configuration
return [
	// Enter your call sign
	'callsign' => 'KVARWT', 
	// Enter your database information below, leave empty if not using the FCC ULS Search
	'db_host' => '', 
	'db_user' => '',
	'db_pass' => '',
	'db_name' => 'ULSDATA',
	// Enable or disable the FCC ULS search feature - leave as false unless you know otherwise
	'uls_search' => false,
	// Limit the number of ULS searches per hour - can be left as default
	'uls_search_limit' => 10,
	// Enable or disable debug mode - limited current use
	'debug' => false,
];

10. Navigate to the base directory and install dependencies

cd /var/www/html/arwt  
composer install

11. Navigate to <your-domain> for further instruction.
