HBNet is still under heavy development and currently undergoing a partiaql rewrite. Documentation is being added to the Wiki as I write it, so check perodically to see if there is any new information. V1.0 will be ready in the next few months. See here for the development news.

HBNet is a fork of HBlink3 that extends the functionality of HBLink through several features, making it more of a usable application and less of a framework. HBNet aims to be complete and ready to use application that can be used to build and run a DMR network.

HBNet consists of 2 parts, HBNet Web Service and the actual DMR server, based on HBLink. The HBNet Web Service handles user administration, server configuration, and is a content management system for your DMR network.

This project originally started as a not so simple set of scripts to decode GPS locations and generate APRS positions. Through other modifications and additions, it has grown into a fully featured fork.

User end features:

• Handles user registration and email verification

• Individual hotspot passphrases for each user

• Automatic retrieval of DMR IDs on registration

• Automatically generate talkgroup pages

• Automatically generates a script for Pi-Star setup (WORK IN PROGRESS)

• Map of currently connected peers

Administrative features:

• Administrate multiple DMR servers through a single web service

• Optional manual approval of new users

• Multiple Admin user logins

OpenBridge additions

• Enhanced unit call routing between connected servers. Every server known which server every subscribers is on.

• Optionally encrypt data sent over OpenBridge

Data Gateway (APRS/SMS)

• Compatable with HBNet and original HBLink.

• Connect your server via OpenBridge or MMDVM.

• Decodes GPS positions and generates APRS positions

• Simple web dashboard

Other features

• SQLite or MySQL backend

• APRS and SMS features (WORK IN PROGRESS)

PROJECT: Open Source HomeBrew Repeater Proctol Client/Master.

UPDATES:

PURPOSE: Thanks to the work of Jonathan Naylor, G4KLX; Hans Barthen, DL5DI; Torsten Shultze, DG1HT we have an open protocol for internetworking DMR repeaters. Unfortunately, there's no generic client and/or master stacks. This project is to build an open-source, python-based implementation. You are free to use this software however you want, however we ask that you provide attribution in some public venue (such as project, club, organization web site). This helps us see where the software is in use and track how it is used.

For those who will ask: This is a piece of software that implements an open-source, amateur radio networking protocol. It is not a network. It is not intended to be a network. It is not intended to replace or circumvent a network. People do those things, code doesn't.

PROPERTY:
This work represents the author's interpretation of the HomeBrew Repeater Protocol, based on the 2015-07-26 documents from DMRplus, "IPSC Protocol Specs for homebrew DMR repeater" as written by Jonathan Naylor, G4KLX; Hans Barthen, DL5DI; Torsten Shultze, DG1HT, also licenced under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.

WARRANTY None. The owners of this work make absolutely no warranty, express or implied. Use this software at your own risk.

PRE-REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE:
This document assumes the reader is familiar with Linux/UNIX, the Python programming language and DMR.
