# Dump1090toMQTT
## Overview
Dump1090toMQTT is a Python script that monitors data from a dump1090 server, which provides information about airplanes, and publishes this data to an MQTT broker for further processing. The script can be run as a service, continuously collecting data and publishing it to the MQTT broker.
## Features
- Monitors data from a dump1090 server.
- Publishes airplane data to an MQTT broker.
- Can be run as a service for continuous monitoring.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
- paho-mqtt library (`pip install paho-mqtt`)
## Configuration
The configuration for the script is stored in a `config.ini` file. This file contains the following sections:
### [dump1090]
- `host`: The IP address of the dump1090 server.
- `port`: The port number of the dump1090 server.
### [mqtt]
- `host`: The IP address of the MQTT broker.
- `port`: The port number of the MQTT broker.
Example `config.ini`:
```ini
[dump1090]
host = 172.25.164.232
port = 30003
[mqtt]
host = 172.25.96.250
port = 1883
```
## Usage
1. Install the required dependencies:
```bash
pip install paho-mqtt
```
2. Configure the `config.ini` file with the appropriate IP addresses and port numbers.
3. Run the script:
```bash
python Dump1090toMQTT.py
```
The script will connect to the dump1090 server, collect airplane data, and publish it to the MQTT broker.
## Running as a Service
To run the script as a service, follow these steps:
1. Create a systemd service unit file named `dump1090tomqtt.service`:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Dump1090toMQTT Service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=your_username
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/your/script/directory
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/your/Dump1090toMQTT.py
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Replace `your_username` with your username and `/path/to/your/script` with the actual path where your Python script is located.
2. Save the file and reload the systemd manager configuration:
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
3. Start and enable the service:
```bash
sudo systemctl start dump1090tomqtt
sudo systemctl enable dump1090tomqtt
```
Now your script will run as a service and automatically start whenever your system boots up.
